The Bay Shore Union Free School District announced that the middle‑school basketball court will bear the name of Paul Taddaro, known to many as "Coach T," in recognition of his decades of teaching and coaching in the district.
Speakers recalled Taddaro’s more than 30 years in the classroom and a claimed 56 years coaching across Bay Shore programs. A former player and colleague described how Taddaro made students feel included and noted his persistent presence and commitment after retirement. "Coach T always led by example," one speaker said; another described the court‑naming as an appropriate way to remember his influence.
The board and attendees planned a procession to the gymnasium so the plaque could be unveiled and photos taken; officials invited students, alumni and the community to view the court dedication after the meeting.
