Bill Diaz
American swimming coach (1925–2014)
Bill Diaz was a high school and college swim coach, best known for coaching the University of Miami men's team from July 1970 to 1984, and leading them to National Championships in 1974, 1977, and 1982. Diaz started the first women's swim team at Miami in 1973, and soon led them to AIAW National Championships in 1975 and 1976. A year after passage of Title IX barring gender-based discrimination at federally funded colleges, Diaz was highly instrumental in making Miami the first American University to provide swimming scholarships to women.
