Amir Abdur-Rahim, the head coach of the University of South Florida's men's basketball team, died at the age of 43 due to complications arising from a medical procedure. Abdur-Rahim, a rising star in college basketball coaching, led the Bulls to a historic 25-8 record, securing their first-ever regular-season conference title and a berth in the NIT. Before joining USF, he transformed Kennesaw State's program, culminating in their first NCAA Tournament appearance after starting with a 1-28 record. His leadership and infectious personality left a lasting impact on the university, its athletes, and the broader community. He is survived by his wife, Arianne, and their three children. The news has prompted an outpouring of grief and support from the USF community and beyond.
