Early coaching in Yugoslavia
In 1993 Trivan joined the newly-promoted Elkond Beočin team as assistant coach under Jovan Malešević.{{Cite web |title=Trener (Coach), Serbian Association of Coaches, Issue 1, p. 25. |url=https://ukts.rs/magazin/brojevi/ |access-date=2025-05-05 |website=ukts.rs}} After Miroslav “Muta” Nikolić took over in 1994, Trivan remained assistant and individual skills coach. During this period the club won the Yugoslav B League and — after being renamed BC BFC‐Beočin — reached two consecutive Yugoslav Cup semi-finals (1994–95, 1995–96) and the 1996 Yugoslav playoff final against Partizan.{{Cite web |date=1995 |title="BFC-Beočin Club History" |url=https://kosmagazin.com/kos/ }}{{Cite journal |title=Yugoslav Basketball Federation archives |journal=Yugoslav Basketball Federation Archives}}
On 17 November 1996, Trivan made his senior debut as acting head coach and led BFC‐Beočin to a 69–68 upset against Partizan in front of 2,500 fans in Belgrade. That season he achieved 13 wins in 14 games, earning “Coach of the Circuit” honors three times, and recording victories over Partizan, Crvena zvezda and FMP. BFC‐Beočin ultimately lost in the league quarter-finals and in the EuroCup round of 16 against Verona’s Mesh.{{Cite web |title=Match report: BFC-Beočin vs. Partizan, 17 Nov 1996 |work=KOS magazin |date=14 September 2021 |url=https://kosmagazin.com/sezona-1995-96-bfc-umalo-sokirao-partizan/ }}
