The coach of a Warminster youth basketball team suffered a heart attack in the last two minutes of a Warminster Basketball Association game at William Tennent High School Sunday afternoon.
Warminster Fire Chief Mitch Shapiro, whose son was playing in the game, and two parents who are nurses, rushed onto the court and used an automated external defibrillator to revive the coach, a man in his early 60s.
The fire chief said he has used the AED to revive people in the past, “but it is a lot different when you know the person.”
Shapiro said the coach was taken to Abington Memorial Hospital where he was undergoing tests Sunday night.
