David Rebibo has won City and Southern Section titles as a boys basketball coach

Harvard-Westlake boys basketball coach David Rebibo is fresh off a CIF State Open Division championship in March of 2023.

Rebibo was a guest for Episode 5 on the CIF Southern Section Sitdown and spoke on topics surrounding NIL (name, image, likeness), transfers and his program’s journey to the state title.
