Citadel Coach Duggar Baucom Collapses on Sideline vs. Duke

Baucom was attended to by medical personnel at Cameron Indoor Stadium before being taken to Duke University Hospital.

The Citadel coach Duggar Baucom collapsed barely a minute into a game Monday night against No. 5 Duke and was helped off the floor by medical personnel.

The 61-year-old Baucom fell along the sideline with Duke leading 3-2 and 18:57 left in the first half. He was conscious as he was helped into the tunnel. He was eventually transported to Duke University Hospital for further medical attention, according to WCIV's Scott Eisberg.

Video taken from the floor shows the moments following Baucom's collapse, where he can be seen being tended to by staff on the Citadel sideline. The Citadel’s Hayden Brown scored off an offensive rebound just before play was stopped for Baucom, who is in his seventh season at the school.

Here is the video of Duggar Baucom after collapsing on the court... It's not graphic, just shows how sudden it was. He is walking off, with assistance, under his own power. Such a scary situation. He's a wonderful man, truly hope everything OK with him. pic.twitter.com/gyV8fIIHtw
