After being hired in 2001, Rebhuhn's first season with the Red Storm produced a 6-11 mark. However, he quickly turned the team around and started earning more victories. In his second year, the COACHteam was just under .500 with an 11-12 record. Finally, in 2003-04, he had turned what might be called mediocre team into a winning squad, producing a 13-11 record.

A Great Neck, N.Y. native, Rebhuhn earned his bachelor's degree in psychology from Concordia in 1993 while on a tennis scholarship. He earned his master's degree in physical education with a specialization in sports psychology at the University of Northern Iowa.
