University of South Florida men’s basketball coach Amir Abdur-Rahim has died at the age of 43, according to a statement from the school.
Abdur-Rahim led the team to its first regular-season conference title last winter in his first year on the job, and was considered to be a rising star in the collegiate coaching sports arena.

“We are heartbroken over the passing of Coach Abdur-Rahim,” read a social media post from the USF Men’s Basketball X account. “A tremendous man & leader with an infectious personality that was a shining light to all he encountered.
