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.[3][4] 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]
