Bill Bayno (born May 18, 1962) is an American basketball coach and currently an assistant coach for the Indiana Pacers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was the head men's basketball coach at Loyola Marymount University from 2008 to 2009, resigning due to medical reasons. He was also the head coach of the UNLV Runnin' Rebels men's basketball team from 1995 through 2000.
Bayno grew up in Goshen, New York, where he was an all-county, all-city and Daily News all-star selection in basketball at John S. Burke Catholic High School. His father, Joe Bayno, was head basketball coach at Burke. He graduated in 1980 and went on to play guard for the University of Massachusetts under coaches Ray Wilson and Tom McLaughlin from 1980 to 1982.
He transferred to Sacred Heart University where he helped the Pioneers to two Division II tournaments and earned selection as a Division II All-American. After graduating in 1985, Bayno was invited to rookie camp with the NBA's New York Knicks as a free agent, but did not make the team.
After graduating from Sacred Heart, Bayno had written 100 form letters to coaches throughout the country, asking for a chance to work as a graduate assistant. P. J. Carlesimo, who had met Bayno working summer basketball camps, was the only one who responded with an offer. Bayno served as a graduate assistant under Carleismo at Seton Hall for the 1985-86 season. He was responsible for underclass recruiting and served as co-director of the Pirate Basketball School. Bayno then served during the 1986-87 season as a graduate assistant coach at Kansas under head coach Larry Brown.
