Former Old Dominion basketball coach Sonny Allen was again denied admission in early December to the hall that honors Virginia's greatest players and coaches and sports administrators and journalists.
He's been rejected before by the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame, but never has there been so much support for the man who integrated basketball in Virginia and built the foundation for ODU's Division I success.
While I like and respect the good people in the hall, this was a chance to right a glaring omission that is decades old. They failed to do so and that's terribly disappointing.
