Bellatty Back at Calabasas Helm
- Share via
Refreshed after a two-year absence from boys’ basketball, Bill Bellatty has returned as the coach at Calabasas High.
After leading the Coyotes to the Southern Section playoffs four times in five seasons, Bellatty resigned after the 1987-88 season, citing burnout.
Bellatty coached the girls’ team last season, but he has attended only two boys’ games since resigning. However, his interest was renewed when Dave Hoffman, who replaced Bellatty, left Calabasas to coach at Chaminade in May.
“When Dave decided to leave, I started thinking about it,” Bellatty said. “My enthusiasm is back.”
Calabasas was 10-13 last season. Greg Waugh, a 6-foot-7 center, and Tom Hoover, a 6-2 swingman, are the top returning players.
