From Monessen, Pennsylvania, DiBiaso played college basketball for coach Bill Gibson at Mansfield State (now Mansfield University of Pennsylvania). Years later, DiBiaso got his college coaching break from Beacon High School in Beacon, New York, when Gibson hired him as an assistant at Virginia. In 1971, Digger Phelps added DiBiaso to his first staff at Notre Dame, where he stayed until 1975.[1]
in 1975, DiBiaso was named head coach at Stanford. In his first season, DiBiaso took a team that returned one starter and experienced significant injuries to a 9–18 record. Eleven of the losses were by six points are fewer. His efforts were recognized at the end of the season when he was named Pac-8 Conference co-coach of the year with George Raveling.[2] DiBiaso would stay for several more seasons and was given a two-year contract in February 1981.[3] However, he announced he was resigning at the end of the 1981–82 season in February 1982.[4]
