Billy Allgood

I am so sorry to hear about Coach Allgood. He was such a special man, and I thought the world of him. I remember him teaching me swimming at the indoor pool at LC when I was small. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

First, I would like to pass on my heart felt condolences to Mrs. Allgood, Duke and the extended family and friends. Coach Allgood was a coach who embraced me @ early age, letting me have access to his wisdom & knowledge of life, religion, athletics and unlimited access to the field house to hone my basketball skills.

Do you think there ever was a lame "no good" lashing-out reference behind closed doors in the A-Dorm following an exhausting practice frequently featuring a disarming dressing down?
