University of South Florida men’s basketball coach Amir Abdur-Rahim has died at 43 years old due to an undisclosed illness.

The school said Abdur-Rahim died while suffering complications during a medical procedure at a Tampa-area hospital.

“We are heartbroken over the passing of Coach Abdur-Rahim,” the school wrote on X. “A tremendous man & leader with an infectious personality that was a shining light to all he encountered. Our thoughts & prayers are with his family, friends and everyone that he left a lasting impact on.” Abdur-Rahim was entering his second season as head coach of USF after leading the team to the AAC regular season championship last year.
