Virgilio "Baby" A. Dalupan (October 19, 1923 – August 17, 2016) was a Filipino basketball coach and player. Dubbed The Maestro, Dalupan was best known for his lengthy coaching tenure with the Crispa Redmanizers and has garnered a career total of 52 basketball championships.
During his 16-year Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) career (1975-1991), Dalupan won 15 PBA championships, the most by any PBA coach until February 26, 2014, when Tim Cone won his 16th PBA championship during the 2013–14 PBA Philippine Cup. Dalupan’s record of 15 PBA titles went unmatched for 23 years (1990-2013) until Cone tied Dalupan’s record on October 26, 2013 during the 2013 PBA Governors' Cup. Both were coaching the same PBA franchise when they won their respective 15th championship. Coincidentally, Dalupan's fifteenth PBA championship was against Cone, then coaching Alaska.
