York Eagles Basketball Club have honoured former under 13s coach, John Stewart, who died earlier this year before their last game of the season, after a short battle with cancer. His son, Cameron, is a member of the team.
Steven Hardisty, who took over John's coaching role when he became too ill, said he was "super passionate" about the sport, especially the NBA and was a great player and coach.
Steven said: "When he told me that the hospital had stopped his cancer treatment, it was heart-breaking. He passed away shortly after that.
