CHARLES R. BIBAUD '55

CONTRIBUTIONS

One of the best friends of Assumption College athletics through years, CHARLIE BIBAUD has played, coached, served on every imaginable committee, and provided equipment through his company --- KangaROO Crossing, Worcester, MA --- for nearly half a century.

He coached at Assumption Preparatory School from 1952-69---including three years while a student at the College as perhaps the youngest high school coach in the state's history---and later at St. John's High School in Shrewsbury, MA from 1970-80. He retired with an overall record of 418-178 as one of the winningiest boy's basketball coaches in Massachusetts history. He also coached a year of baseball (1958) at the College.

His Assumption Prep teams won 20-or-more games three times en route to a school-record 250-113 overall mark. They won the New England Catholic Tournament in 1956, the Western Massachusetts Tournament in 1957, the Worcester City title in 1957, 58 and 61. Among the notables who played for him at the Prep were Holy Cross standout Jack (The Shot) Foley and Assumption College Hall of Famer Steve Warner '64.

In 1955-56 the Monks finished 20-6 as the New England Catholic Champions and won the Assumption College Invitational Tournament. In 1956-57 (22-3) they won the Western Massachusetts and Worcester City titles. In 1960-61 they finished 22-3 at the Worcester City Championships. His teams won the New England Prep School title in 1966 and 1967.

He coached 10 years at St. John's High and posted a 168-65 overall mark with a pair 20-win, District championship seasons. His team was 23-2 in 1973-74 and 21-4 in 1977-78 --- both winning District championships.

He also taught History, English, French and Math at both Assumption Prep and St. John's High and along with his basketball duties also assisted with the cross country, baseball and football programs. He was the Director of Athletics at Assumption Prep (1960-70) and later at St. John's High (1970-84). He also served as Academic Dean at St. John's (1977-84).

He is a member of the Assumption Prep Alumni Hall of Fame (1970), the Massachusetts Coaches Basketball Hall of Fame (1985) and the New England Basketball Hall of Fame (2003).

In 1963 he was sent to then French West Africa by the United States Department of State as a French-speaking basketball coach. He worked with the national teams of Upper Volta, Ivory Coast, Togo, Dahomey and Mali.

He and his wife Carol live in Worcester and have four sons --- Peter (deceased), Chip, Tim (now the Hound's head golf coach) and William --- and four grandchildren Allie, Pat, Tim and Taylor.
