Hovde joined the Richmond staff as an assistant coach on May 17, 2021, returning to his alma mater and bringing 10 seasons of college coaching experience to the Spiders.
Hovde came to Richmond after spending five seasons at the University of San Francisco, where he served as the team's associate coach from 2019 to 2021. He helped the Dons to a 22-12 record in 2019-20 and a win over fourth-ranked Virginia on November 27, 2020 – the program's first win over a top-five opponent in 39 years. In Hovde's first three seasons at the school, 2016-17 to 2018-19, the Dons posted three consecutive 20-win seasons for the first time in more than 35 years.Â
Prior to San Francisco, Hovde was on the staff at Columbia for five seasons. He joined the program as the director of basketball operations in 2011 and was promoted to assistant coach the following season. In 2015-16, his final season at Columbia, the Lions finished 25-10, setting a school record for wins, and won the postseason CollegeInsider.com Tournament.
Â
Hovde first joined the Spiders in 2006 out of Unionville High in Kennett Square, Pa. as part of Chris Mooney's first recruiting class at Richmond. He appeared in 99 games over four seasons, scoring 195 total points. As a senior in 2011, Hovde, Mooney, and the Spiders won the Atlantic 10 and advanced to the NCAA's Sweet 16.
Hovde met his wife Jackie, while at Columbia. They currently reside in Richmond, Va. with their daughter Lyla.Â
