==Early Life Leading into Coaching==
Byrd grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee where he would sit along side his father, Ben Byrd, and watch him write articles on the Tennessee mens basketball games as a kid. He then went to play basketball at Florida junior college for a year, but decided to come back home to Knoxville and attend the University of Tennessee as a normal student until his senior year, where he was asked to join the junior varsity team for the Volunteers. The next year, in order to start his coaching career, he became the student assistant to the varsity squad. The very next year Byrd also attempted to become a graduate assistant for the Vols. After two months on the job the university realized that in order to be considered a graduate assistant you must be in your fifth year of school, and Byrd was in his sixth, and was forced to resign from the position. Byrd then had an opportunity open at the nearby Division two school of Maryville, where he ended up playing two roles, both head and assistant coach. Byrd would coach the team during the week while the head coach was finishing up school, and actually coached the team on a few occasions during games. After Maryville, Byrd moved to Tennessee Tech as an assistant for a few seasons, but then got his first true opportunity to become a head coach at Lincoln Memorial where he stayed for three seasons and had great success (69-28 overall record). Opportunity knocked again, and Byrd landed at Belmont, and is still there to this day. 〔http://sportsandentertainmentnashville.com/the-rise-of-rick-byrd-and-belmont-basketball/〕
