Altobelli Family Tribute

Finishing up our ABCA 2022 Hall of Fame Podcast Series is a tribute to John, Keri and Alyssa Altobelli. This episode is a celebration of their life and legacy. Altobelli led the Orange Coast College program for 27 seasons. At the time of his passing he was the winningest coach in school history. In 2019 he became just the 16th coach in California Community College Athletic Association history to reach the 700 win mark. Altobelli’s 4 State titles tied for 3rd all time and just behind coaching legends Wally Kincaid and Scott Pickler. In this episode we will hear from some of the people that the Altobelli Family impacted with University of Houston head coach Todd Whitting, former Santa Ana College head coach Don Sneddon, Cypress Community College head coach Scott Pickler, former Oregon head coach George Horton, Cal State Fullerton assistant Josh Belovsky, University of Texas head coach David Pierce and Orange Coast College assistant Tim Matz. We will finish the episode with a piece that Sports Illustrated’s Michael McKnight put together after the helicopter crash. I want to thank Michael for allowing us to use the interview. Thanks so much for listening and Leave it Better Those Behind You. The ABCA Podcast is presented by Netting Pros.
