Lim took over the position on September 2022 replacing Yeng Guiao, who transferred to Rain or Shine before that season's Commissioner’s Cup.
Under Lim’s watch, the Road Warriors had a 23-29 win-loss record through four conferences, with the team reaching the quarterfinals twice but only won one playoff game.
During the current Philippine Cup, NLEX finished with a 6-5 win-loss record in the elimination round but finished sixth. The Road Warriors were swept by Meralco in the best-of-three quarterfinals in what became Lim’s final campaign with the team.
Prior to NLEX, Lim captured four titles in the NCAA with San Beda in 2007, 2008, 2010, and 2011, and briefly coached Barangay Ginebra during the 2014-15 Governors’ Cup.
