Coaching career and later life
Starr became a volunteer assistant coach for UNLV from 1985 to 1989.3 He left UNLV to be an assistant coach at Cal State Fullerton for the 1989–90 season but resigned halfway through the year due to differences with head coach John Sneed.34 Starr then returned to UNLV for two more seasons, but he had already missed out on being a part of the team's 1989–90 NCAA national championship season.3
Right after his coaching career ended in 1992, Starr went into insurance sales and created his own State Farm agency.5
