Chris Beard announced Max Lefevre as a graduate assistant for the Little Rock men’s basketball program in Sept. 2015. Lefevre worked with Beard for two seasons at Angelo State, helping the Rams to a 47-15 record over that span.
 
“I am very thankful and excited about the opportunity to be a part of the Trojans family,” Lefevre said. “There is nobody else I would rather work for than Chris Beard. His passion for the game is inspiring, and I am looking forward to continuing to grow under him. There are a lot of changes happening right now with this program and University, and I am looking forward to being a part of it.”
 
Angelo State won a program-record 28 games and advanced the Sweet Sixteen of the Division II NCAA Tournament in Lefevre’s second season with the program. The Rams lost just two home games in Lefevre’s two seasons in Angelo.
 
“Coach Beard has made an outstanding hire in Max Lefevre,” Angelo State head coach Cinco Boone said. “He has a good rapport with the student-athletes, a tireless work ethic and just an overall great feel for how to contribute in any and every way to a winning program. He will be a great ambassador for Little Rock basketball and the city of Little Rock. There will not be a day that he doesn’t have a positive impact on the program.”
 
Prior to his time at Angelo State, Lefevre worked for MOKAN Basketball. Located in Kansas City, MOKAN is one of the top grassroots basketball organizations in the country. Lefevre coached youth MOKAN elite teams in tournaments across the country and contributed to the creation of a youth coaching developmental program. He organized events such as the KC Classic, Hardwood Classic, Nike Pre-Draft Camp and various high school team camps.
 
Born in France, Lefevre played college basketball at Avila University in Kansas City, Mo. He earned his Bachelor of Science in International Business from Avila in 2012 before earning his Master of Education in Sports Administration from Angelo State in 2015.
