Robert Dallimore joined the Little Rock women’s basketball program as associate head coach in July 2009 after a four-year stint as co-associate head coach at ULM.
Since coming to Little Rock, Dallimore helped the Trojans to four straight Sun Belt Conference West Division crowns from 2010-13; back-to-back Sun Belt Conference Tournament titles in 2011 and 2012 and a third in 2015; two outright Sun Belt regular-season titles in 2015 and 2017; and four Women’s NCAA Tournament appearances and three trips to the Women’s NIT in 2013, 2016 and 2017.
In his first season at Little Rock in 2009-10, the Trojans received an at-large bid to their first-ever Women’s NCAA Tournament, where they upset No. 6 seed Georgia Tech, 63-53, in the opening round. He was a part of the staff in 2015 that led the Trojans to another victory in the NCAA Tournament over No. 6 seed Texas A&M, and he helped guide the team to its fifth Postseason WNIT appearance and a First Round win over Southern Miss in 2017.
Under Dallimore’s guidance, Little Rock has earned automatic bids to three of the last seven NCAA Tournaments. The Trojans defeated Western Kentucky in the finals of the 2011 Sun Belt Tournament to earn the program’s first-ever conference tournament title. In 2012, Little Rock upset top-seeded Middle Tennessee in the SBC Tournament title game to earn its third consecutive NCAA Tournament bid. The team returned to the NCAA Tournament in 2015 with a win over Arkansas State in the Sun Belt Championship Game.
In his current role at Little Rock, Dallimore is responsible for recruiting, on-floor coaching, scouting reports, scheduling and helping with post-position players.
During his time at ULM, Dallimore was responsible for breaking down game film, scouting opponents, scheduling and camps while also acting as recruiting coordinator. He also worked with the post position players. In his final year with ULM in 2008-09, Dallimore assisted in the Warhawks trip to the Sun Belt Conference Tournament quarterfinals.
Prior to his stint at ULM, he spent nine seasons as head coach of the girls basketball program at Christian Life Academy in Baton Rouge, La.

Dallimore also spent seven seasons as the head coach of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Baton Rouge Lady Tigers.
During his tenure as a head coach at the high school level, Dallimore helped more than 50 young women move on to play collegiate basketball. In addition, two of his former players, Jami Montagnino and Quiana Chaney, went on to play professionally.
Prior to Christian Life Academy, Dallimore spent three seasons as boys basketball head coach at Redeemer-Seton High School in New Orleans, where he led the Rams to the Louisiana Final Four and two district titles.
