Name the coaches of every Far East Boys Class AA Tournament champion team since the tournament's inception

To SportsBlog Nation:

We're trying to find out the names of each and every coach of each and every Far East High School Boys Class AA Basketball Tournament champion team since the tournament's inception in 1949.

Why, you ask? Tournament organizers are planning to make a traveling trophy with the names of all the coaches in it, kind of like pro hockey's Stanley Cup, which has the name of every player who ever won the cup embedded in it.

I can name quite a few of them, but only as far back as 1982.

2009 -- Fred Sava, St. Mary's International
2008 -- Steve Boyd, Seoul American
2007 -- Jon Fick, Kubasaki
2006 -- Paul Ettl, Yokota
2005 -- Robert Bliss, Kadena
2004 -- Steve Boyd, Seoul American
2003 -- Steve Boyd, Seoul American
2002 -- Fred Sava, St. Mary's International
2001 -- Fred Sava, St. Mary's International
2000 -- Tine Hardeman, Faith Academy
1999 -- Scott Davis, Kadena
1998 -- Carl Long, Christian Academy In Japan
1997 -- Don Hobbs, Kubasaki
1996 -- Don Hedgpath, Seoul American
1995 -- Scott Davis, Kadena
1994 -- Brian Brumsickle, Hong Kong International
1993 -- Sid Guzman, Oceanview
1992 -- Scott Davis, Kadena
1991 -- Scott Davis, Kadena
1990 -- Darrell Mood, Wagner
1989 -- Don Hobbs, Kubasaki
1988 -- Don Hobbs, Kubasaki
1987 -- Kevin Fitzgerald, Kadena
1986 -- Kevin Fitzgerald, Kadena

And that's as far back as my consecutive institutional knowledge stretches.

Prior to that, 1984 -- Ed Drosdowski, Kadena
1983 -- Bill Jacobsson, American School In Japan
1982 -- Tine Hardeman, Faith Academy

Can you help?
