VALE BILL DIBATTISTA

Junior Dom

The DVBA mourns the passing of former Eagles coach, Billy DiBattista who recently passed away after a long battle with illness. Bill was a prominent coach in the DV program, particularly in the younger age group, coaching noted DV players Nicholas Dean and Matthew Jackson.

"Bill coached at Diamond Valley when there was a real wealth of young players and coaches that were the cornerstone of the program as you see it today. He was a main fixture in the domestic scene with his club The Sharks.

He coached many juniors and had a list of clubs he was involved with which included Darebin, Whittlesea, Keilor and Diamond Valley. All players, coaches and people in the Diamond Valley community mourn Bill's passing and thoughts are with his family."

He will be sadly missed by many in the basketball community
