Jerry Pimm

Jerry Pimm

Jerry Pimm is a men's basketball coach who is best remembered for coaching at the University of Utah from 1974–1983 and the University of California, Santa Barbara from 1983-1998.

Pimm replaced former Utah coach Bill Foster, who had accepted the same position with the Duke University Blue Devils in 1973. As coach of the Utes, Pimm led Utah to a 173-86 (.668) record, including four Sweet 16 appearances in the NCAA Tournament. The Utes also won 3 Western Athletic Conference basketball titles and only had one losing season during his stay. However by 1983 the relationship between Jerry Pimm and the Utah Athletic Department was strained. Not seeing eye to eye, Pimm decided to leave the University of Utah for the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Prior to Pimm's career at UCSB, the Gauchos program had suffered through seven straight losing seasons. After a shaky start, which saw three more losing seasons, the Gauchos turned it around in the 1986-87 season, where they finished with a 16-13 record. The next season would be Pimm's best at UCSB, as he led them to a 22-8 season, including an NCAA Tournament berth, the first in school history, where they lost to the University of Maryland in the first round.

In 1990, UCSB once again made the NCAA Tournament, this time beating the University of Houston in the first round before falling to #1 seed Michigan State by 4 points in the 2nd round. Under Pimm, UCSB also played in three National Invitation Tournaments. In the mid-late 90s, UCSB had suffered through five straight losing seasons, and Pimm resigned, although he later took a job with the athletic department. Pimm went 217-187 (.537) in 16 seasons with the Gauchos. He holds an all time record of 390-273 (.588) in 25 years as a head coach.

He assisted Lute Olson with the US national team in the 1986 FIBA World Championship, winning the gold medal.[1]

Jamie Dixon and Ben Howland both were assistant coaches for Pimm while at UCSB.
