Byron Newton Rimm II (born January 30, 1974) is an American college basketball coach, more recently the interim head men's basketball coach at IUPUI.

Early life and education

Rimm was born in Pensacola, Florida and graduated from Wade Hampton High School in Greenville, South Carolina in 1993.[1][2]

From 1994 to 1996, Rimm played junior college basketball at Ventura College in Ventura, California; he was part of the 1996 California Community College Athletic Association championship team at Ventura.[1] Rimm then transferred to California State University, Los Angeles, where he averaged 4.7 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 0.7 assists in 19 games in 1996–97.[3]

In 1999, Rimm completed his bachelor's degree in liberal studies at Cal State Los Angeles.[4][1]

Coaching career

While completing his studies at Cal State Los Angeles, Rimm served as a junior college basketball assistant coach, first at Pasadena City College in 1997 then at Chaffey College.

Rimm was head men's basketball coach at Prairie View A&M from the 2006–07 season until resigning on January 27, 2016.[5]

On October 12, 2016, Texas A&M–Corpus Christi men's basketball head coach Willis Wilson hired Rimm as director of basketball operations.[6]
