Louis Reynaud is in his second season as associate head coach for the Rice basketball program.

During Reynaud's first year at Rice, the Owls more than tripled their total victories from the previous season. Rice also signed a recruiting class that both ESPN.com and Rivals.com recognized as one of the Top 10 among mid-major universities.

Academically, Rice had six members of the squad named to the Conference USA Commissioner's Honor Roll, an accomplishment unmatched by any other league member. Reynaud joined the Rice staff from the University of California where he worked for 11 seasons including the last six season as associate head coach.

Reynaud has been highly successful at both the high school and collegiate levels. He was instrumental in helping turn around the Cal basketball program.
