I attended Duke when he was coaching Maryland. He was a great coach and deserves the hall of fame

I'm a long-time ACC basketball fan and a Duke alumnus. I totally support the nomination of Left to the Basketball Hall of Fame. He was highly successful as a Duke player and a coach at Maryland. And he was a welcome bright personality in both.

I was Lefty's head basketball manager his first 2 years at James Madison! "Coach" had a big impact on me and others and I'm hopeful he ends up in the HOF!

If anyone got a raw deal it was lefty! The man was made a scapegoat for the sad passing (OD) of Len Bias. He did so much for college basketball at all the stops he made.

I grew up on the outskirts of College Park rooting for the fantastic Terps teams of the era (McMillan, Elmore, Lucas). Had there been a 64-team tourney at the time, there is no doubt in my mind that Lefty would have been to plenty of Final Fours and likely brought home a championship or two. It is obvious he belongs - put him in!
