After serving as the Associate Head Coach at Indiana and Assistant Coach at UAB in the following years, he was named the head coach at Louisiana Tech in 2007. During his four years there, he led the team to new heights, highlighted by a 24-11 record during the 2009-10 sea­son when the team received votes in the Associated Press Top 25 for the first time in 19 years and advanced to the second round of the Col­legeInsider Tournament.
 
Following his stint at LA Tech, he was the director of basketball op­erations at Hawaii in 2011-12 before joining Montana as an assistant coach the following year. At Montana, he helped the Grizzlies set a Big Sky Conference record with 19 league wins and advance to the NCAA Tournament for the third time in four years, and then would go on to coach at Oregon State. Rupp spent eight seasons as the Associate Head Coach at Oregon State. While he was there, Oregon State won the Pac-12 Conference Tournament championship for the first time in program history in 2020-21 and won three games in the NCAA Tournament to advance to the Elite Eight for the first time since 1982.
