PREVIEW: CCAC alums raising money to honor Coach Shay
By Sean P. Ray | Managing Editor
In 1968, Bill Shay would take the position of head basketball coach at Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC). He would go on to become the winningest college basketball coach in Western Pennsylvania history, finishing his coaching career with 803 wins to 358 losses across 39 seasons and mentoring numerous student athletes during their time at the school.
Now a group of those same students are seeking to honor their beloved coach by fundraising for a bust of Shay, as well as a scholarship in his honor. This bust will be installed in the athletic facility on the CCAC North Campus, just down a ramp from where the basketball court is located.
