Robert Franklin "Duggar" Baucom (born September 21, 1960) is an American college basketball coach and the current head men's basketball coach at The Citadel. Baucom was hired as the Citadel's head coach following the 2014–15 season. He was previously the head coach at NCAA Division I Virginia Military Institute. He's also served a coach at Tusculum, Davidson, Western Carolina and Northwestern State.
At the conclusion of the 2016–17 season, Baucom's career record is 173–203 in Division I and 37–19 in Division II.
Baucom was born on September 21, 1960, and grew up around Charlotte, North Carolina. He attended North Mecklenburg High School in Huntersville where he played basketball. Following graduation, Baucom took a career in law enforcement and worked as a policeman and North Carolina state trooper. He was initially assigned to North Mecklenburg as a school resource officer in 1987, and also coached the school's junior varsity basketball team. After four years, he was promoted to varsity head coach.
Baucom's career in law-enforcement was short-lived. On Christmas Day of 1990, Baucom had a heart attack, which was discovered to be a case of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a disease in which heart muscle thickens for no apparent reason. Narrowly avoiding death, Baucom was forced to pursue a low-stress occupation. He enrolled at UNC Charlotte where he earned a B.A. in history and graduated in 1995.
