Head Coach Duggar Baucom

Duggar Baucom begins his sixth season as head coach of VMI Basketball. Since taking over the program, he has injected a brand of fast-paced, high scoring hoops that has brought the team success on the court and wide-spread acclaim off the court.

Each of the past four seasons, Baucom's Keydets have led the NCAA in scoring, a feat never before accomplished at the NCAA Division I level. On a pair of occasions during that time, the Keydets had the nation's leading scorer donning their uniform - a feat only performed 10 times in NCAA history. In addition, the 2008-09 team’s 24 wins were the second-most in school history, trailing only the 1976-77 team that advanced to the NCAA Tournament's "Sweet 16", and VMI's second-place finish in the Big South was easily its best since joining the circuit in 2003-04.

Since transitioning to the up-tempo, high-flying system, the VMI record books and undergone a major facelift as 76 school individual, team and facility records been rewritten in the Baucom era.The VMI head man was rewarded with a second contract extension prior to the 2008-09 season, and proved himself worthy of such by leading his team to a 24-8 mark and a berth in the
conference finals, their second-such berth in three years.

Baucom became the 29th head basketball coach of the Virginia Military Institute on April 12, 2005, bringing impressive credentials from Tusculum College in Greenville,Tennessee, where he directed the NCAA Division II Pioneers to back-to-back winning seasons including a conference regular season and conference tournament championship. In two seasons at Tusculum, Baucom compiled a mark of 37-19. In 2004-05, the Pioneers finished 18-11 on the year to post their fourth straight winning season.
