I can confirm that Rahim Lockhart will not return as the head men’s basketball coach at NJCAA D1 East Central Community College (MS),

Lockhart served as the interim head coach for the majority of the 2019-20 season, and officially took over the program following that year. During his time as the Warriors head coach, Lockhart compiled a 16-41 record, including a 5-17 (2-12) mark this past season.

Before coming to ECCC, Lockhart was an assistant at his alma mater Ole Miss, and had spent time as the head coach at Jones County JC.

An official announcement is expected shortly.
