In four seasons as head coach of the Wildcats Randy Rahe has led Weber State to three Big Sky titles.  He has been named the Big Sky Coach of the Year three times and has coached three Big Sky Conference Most Valuable Players.  Rahe has also led Weber State to one NCAA Tournament appearance and two trips to the NIT. 

In his four years with the Wildcats Rahe has posted a 77-47 (.621) overall record and a 49-15 (.766) record in Big Sky Conference games.  He is 28-4 in Big Sky games in the last two seasons and has won 20 or more games in three of his four seasons.

In 2009-10 the Wildcats repeated as Big Sky Champions.  The ‘Cats posted a 20-11 overall record and a 13-3 mark in Big Sky play.  Sophomore Damian Lillard was honored as the Big Sky MVP.  WSU advanced to the NIT for the second-straight season, losing at Cincinnati in the first round. 

Rahe was hired as the ninth coach in Weber State history in March 2006.  In his first season as head coach, with just three returning players from the previous season, Rahe put together a squad of newcomers and began the process of restoring the winning tradition of Wildcat basketball.  That season he surpassed all expectations, leading the Wildcats to a 20-12 record and a tie for the Big Sky Conference regular-season title. The Wildcats then won the postseason conference tournament and earned a berth in the NCAA Tournament.

For his efforts Rahe was honored as the 2007 Big Sky Coach of the Year and the District VIII Coach of the Year by the United States Basketball Writers Association.

In the 2007-08 season Rahe led the Wildcats to a 16-14 overall record and a third place finish in the Big Sky.  In 2008-09 the ‘Cats posted a 21-10 , including a 15-1 mark in Big Sky Conference play and another conference regular season title.  WSU became the first Big Sky team ever to finish 8-0 on the road in conference action.  WSU senior Kellen McCoy was named the Big Sky MVP.

A native of Bancroft, Iowa, Rahe was a two-sport athlete at Buena Vista College in Storm Lake, Iowa as a point guard on the men’s basketball team and a shortstop on the baseball team. He earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education in 1982.

 Rahe began his coaching career on the high school level in Colorado. During his tenure as the head coach at Stratton High School (1985-88) he was twice named District Coach of the Year leading his teams to district and league championships in 1986, 1987 and 1988. His teams posted an overall mark of 54-17, earning two third-place finishes in state tournaments.

 Rahe got his first taste of coaching on the collegiate level in 1988-89, when he joined the staff at Colorado College as an assistant. He went on to serve as an assistant at the University of Colorado (1989-90) and the University of Denver (1990-91) before beginning his long association with Stew Morrill at Colorado State and Utah State.

While at CSU, Rahe helped the Rams to an overall mark of 121-86 and three appearances in the NIT in seven seasons.

Following Morrill to Utah State, Rahe was part of an Aggie staff which, in six seasons, helped the team compile a 143-48 record, winning five Big West Conference championships, earn three appearances in the NCAA Tournament with a first round win over Ohio State and two NIT berths. In his last season (2003-04) at USU, the Aggies were ranked as high as 19th in the nation.

From Utah State Rahe went to the University of Utah in 2004-05 where he would spend the next two seasons as an assistant coach under Ray Giacoletti.  In his first season with the Utes, Utah finished 29-6, won the Mountain West Championship, and advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.  They were led that season by Andrew Bogut who earned National Player of the Year honors and went on to become the first pick in the 2005 NBA Draft.
