From 1994 to 1996, Rimm played junior college basketball at Ventura College in Ventura, California; he was part of the 1996 California Community College Athletic Association championship team at Ventura.[1] Rimm then transferred to California State University, Los Angeles, where he averaged 4.7 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 0.7 assists in 19 games in 1996–97.[3]
In 1999, Rimm completed his bachelor's degree in liberal studies at Cal State Los Angeles.[4] [1]
While completing his studies at Cal State Los Angeles, Rimm served as a junior college basketball assistant coach, first at Pasadena City College in 1997 then at Chaffey College.
