Rives was fresh off a one-year stint as athletic director and sports information director at Mississippi Delta Community College and a four-year role as the head baseball coach for the Trojans from 2017-2020.

While in Moorhead, Rives and his staff helped over 40 Trojans move on to the four-year collegiate level, including 16 to the Division I ranks.

Rives, who played at MDCC in 2003 under the legendary Terry Thompson, came back to the Delta after an 11-year stint (2006-2016) at Hinds Community College, where he served as the Eagles recruiting coordinator, worked with the Eagles infielders and headed up the HCC strength and conditioning program.
