Erich Kaempffe was appointed the 16th head coach in the 113-year history of the men's basketball program in June 2021. In Kaempffe's four years, the Saxons have led the Empire 8 in scoring defense every year. From 2021-25, Alfred University Men's Basketball has also qualified for the Empire 8 postseason four years in a row for the first time in program history. Alfred's Empire 8 (.621) and postseason (.557) winning percentages are the best under any staff in program history, while their overall winning percentage (.596) is the second-best ever. During the 2022-23 season, Kaempffe and the Saxons finished with a 22-7 overall record, making just the fourth time in program history the team has finished with 20 or more wins in a single season. Alfred University won the 2023 ECAC Division III Men's Basketball Tournament, defeating #6 Allegheny College in the Semifinals before taking down top-seeded Alvernia University in the Finals.
