He was the Grizzly basketball coach for 22 years (1937-54) and then became athletic director (1954-70). dahlberg passed away in September of 1993, just two weeks after he was inducted into the Grizzly Sports Hall of Fame. He will be remembered for his success at Montana, and the Grizzly basketball team continues to carry on that tradition.
