List of VMI Keydets head basketball coaches

File:Duggar Baucom 2009.jpg

Current VMI head coach Duggar Baucom is the school's all-time wins leader.

The VMI Keydets basketball program competes in the Southern Conference of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Division I, representing the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia. The program has had 26 head coaches since its inception in 1908–09.

The school's first team was led by Pete Krebs, who guided the Keydets to a 3–3 record in his only season as head coach. After 16 years playing as an independent, VMI joined the Southern Conference in 1924, where they would play for nearly eighty years until joining the Big South Conference in 2003. VMI has had only three NCAA tournament appearances in hits history, the first of which came in 1964 under L. F. "Weenie" Miller. VMI was eliminated in the first round with an 86–60 loss to Princeton.

VMI's most successful run occurred in the late 1970s where Bill Blair led the Keydets to wins over Tennessee and DePaul after a 22–10 campaign in 1975–76. The Keydets finally fell to Rutgers in the Elite 8, 91–75. After Blair departed for Colorado, Charlie Schmaus took over and, with a roster of VMI Hall of Famer Ron Carter alongside Will Bynum, Dave Montgomery, and John Krovic,^[1] guided VMI to its best season in school history with a 26–4 record and their third NCAA tournament appearance, where they defeated Duquesne 73–66, and lost to Kentucky in the following round by a score of 93–78.^[2] At the season's end, VMI was ranked #20 in the AP Poll, the school's first and only final AP ranking to this date.^[3]

Duggar Baucom, VMI's most recent head coach, had led the Keydets since 2005, and is the program's all-time wins leader with 151 wins as of the end of the 2014–15 season.
