Donald R. "Dick" Damron

Dr. Donald R. “Dick” Damron (Coach) – The Grayson native, Dick Damron both attended and served the university in many facets. A well-regarded professor of history, Kentucky Christian campus minister, and for good measure, a 2^nd generation minister of the Oak Grove Church of Christ, Coach “D” also led the Knights basketball program for 20 years. During that time, he won four National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) Division II national championships (1991, 95, 97, 99) and put together a career record of 400-204 during his basketball tenure. While most would associate Coach with only basketball, he also started and led the Knights fledgling baseball program, a sport near and dear to his heart. Damron was a 2007 enshrinee of the NCCAA Hall of Fame and while he was a champion in the eyes of all who knew him, it is comforting to know his place is secure in God’s Hall of Fame.
