NORFOLK, Va. — The Virginia Sports Hall of Fame said on social media that Paul Webb passed away Friday morning at the age of 94.
Webb was a 1993 Virginia Sports Hall of Fame inductee and a legendary basketball head coach at Old Dominion University and Randolph-Macon College.
He was a native of Petersburg, Virginia, and retired in 1985 as the country's 6th winningest collegiate basketball coach, according to his Hall of Fame bio. He coached at Randolph-Macon from 1956 to 1975 and at the Old Dominion from 1975 to 1985.
The 1976-77 ODU men's basketball team won 22 straight games under his leadership, setting a Virginia and a national record for the longest winning streak.
The Hall of Fame in their post went on to say, "Our thoughts and prayers are with the Webb family."
