Guillaume Hoareau has died after suffering a cardiac arrest on the court.
He is being remembered as an 'inspiration and a mentor'.
Hoareau collapsed at Fort Regent on Saturday 18 May during an inter-insular game against Guernsey and died shortly afterwards in hospital.
Jersey Basketball Association President Paul Milbank says Guillaume's death is a terrible shock.
“G was a pivotal part of our basketball community. He was an inspiration and mentor to both our senior and junior players.
"He was passionate about basketball and improving the game in the island. He proudly represented Jersey at the Island Games and alongside the kids that he coached.”
“Beyond his official roles, G was our friend, our brother, and the lifeblood of our community. His energy, passion and huge spirit have given us so much enjoyment and pride over so many years.
“We wish to express our sincere condolences to his wife and young family, who we will do everything we can to support during this sad time. We also pass on our deepest sympathies to his wider family, friends and colleagues at RBC.”
