In the 2011-2012 season, Price helped coach the Cardinals to an outstanding 23-12 record and a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2000. It was the team's first 20-win season since 1988 and their third highest win total ever.

Grambling State

In 2012, Price was hired as the head coach of Grambling State. His first season was not successful, as the 2012-13 team went 0–28, becoming just the eighth Division I team in NCAA history to finish a season winless.
