“Pico Wilburn may have won two state championships at Oakland Tech, but what's more important is that his priorities are in order: He puts the welfare of his players first and foremost. His on-court success is a byproduct of his knowledge of the game and ability to communicate with young people, but what matters most to him is how his players develop as people, and what they learn from their time in his program. Few coaches have a better reputation than Pico Wilburn, and for good reason." Clay Kallum
“The BALW program is a top notch, first class program that makes every move with the players best interest at heart! From player development to on court instruction and off court recruitment and academic progress......they lead with the heart and are a family organization through and through”
Shanele Stires - Asst. Coach
University of San Francisco
“Coach Pico Wilburn was not only our first coach, but introduced us to the love of basketball. We credit him with my success and will encourage ANY player who has an opportunity to be coached by him to take it. Your life will forever be changed for the better. Words cannot begin to express all that Coach Pico Wilburn has done for us and our growth as players and more importantly, as people.
Alexis Gray-Lawson and Devanei Hampton
All Pac-10 and McDonald/Nike All-Americans - Cal Bears
"When my staff and I took over the San Jose State women's basketball program, one of the first people to reach out to us was Coach Pico Wilburn. I have enjoyed getting to know him and watching his Bay Area Lady Warriors play. Coach Pico develops and prepares young women to take the next step after high school. His kids work so hard and they are fundamentally sound. He is a true teacher of the game!”
Pam DeCosta – Asst. Coach University of Oklahoma
