Prior to that, he was the boys’ basketball coach at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley, California for three years. 

 
"I am honored that Alex will join our staff,” said Hayford, who enters his third season as head coach of the Eagles. “He has a bright future in the coaching profession and our players will benefit from his mentoring. Alex is very intelligent, knows the game, and works well with people. He has a great work ethic and will be involved in all areas of our program." 

San Francisco State was 9-19 his first season with the school, then improved to 16-12 in the 2012-13 season. The Gators finished 13-9 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association, and advanced to the semifinals of the CCAA Tournament. A 57-47 victory over Cal State L.A. was the school’s first-ever home playoff victory as a member of the CCAA. 

While at Tamalpais, the Red Tail Hawks won 30 games and earned a trip to the North Coast Section Playoffs during the 2009-10 season. It was the school’s first playoff berth in eight years. Pribble was the head coach at Tamalpais from 2008 until 2011. 

He spent the 2007-08 season as a graduate assistant coach for Cal, and also spent time as an AAU head coach and individual instructor for the North Bay Basketball Academy.
