Wilbur Virgil "Bill" Hubbard (February 5, 1907 – January 2, 1986) was an American football, basketball, baseball, and golf coach.
Hubbard was an outstanding athlete at San Jose State University. He lettered four times as a quarterback in football and four times as a guard on the school's basketball team.
Hubbard transferred to Stanford University in 1930 with the hopes of playing on the school's football team, but he was ruled ineligible due to playing for four years at San Jose State. [1]
Hubbard returned to his San Jose State to coach a number of sports, including being the head football (1947–1949), [2] basketball (1935–1940, 1944–1945), [3] and baseball coach.[ citation needed]
Perhaps his most notable achievement was leading the San Jose State men's golf team to a national championship in 1948. [4]
Hubbard suffered a stroke on December 24, 1985, at his home in Shingle Spring, California. He died on January 2, 1986, at a hospital in Placerville, California. [5]
