Perry was the head coach at his alma mater, the University of Idaho, for five seasons, from 2001 to 2006.[3][4][5] He served as an assistant coach with Colorado State University, the Indiana Pacers, University of Southern Mississippi, Iowa State University, and Utah State University. He was also an advance scout and pro personnel scout for the Indiana Pacers.

During his tenure at Colorado State, the Rams appeared in the NCAA Tournament and the National Invitational Tournament, as well as enjoyed the best start to a season in program history (12-0), had the longest winning streak in program history (14), and were nationally ranked in the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches polls. Prominent players who worked with Perry include J.J. Avila, Jamaal Tinsley, Marcus Fizer and Colton Iverson.

Perry has appeared in the NCAA Tournament with Southern Mississippi (2012), Iowa State (2000, 2001) and Utah State (1998). He helped Iowa State to an Elite Eight appearance, two Big 12 regular-season championships, a Big 12 conference tournament championship and a school-record 39 game winning streak.

Prior to coaching, Perry played for the University of Idaho for two seasons.[6] As a junior, the Vandals won a second straight Big Sky Championship under Kermit Davis and appeared in the NCAA Tournament in 1990. Under new head coach Larry Eustachy, he was named the Vandals' Most Outstanding Player as a senior in 1991. Perry was recruited to Moscow in 1989 by Davis after playing two years at McLennan Community College in Waco, Texas.[7]

Perry received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Idaho in 1995. Perry has five children and is married to Christina Perry, originally from Mullan in northern Idaho.[3]

gollark: Macron is like Minoteaur, except nobody made it whatsoever.
gollark: Oh, you're right, it just defines a "macro" when it encounters certain punctuation.
gollark: I thought it was whitespace-sensitive.
gollark: Macron is to support them, then?
gollark: ZWJ indents *are* the future and you cannot stop me.
