Legendary basketball coach Jerry Petitgoue is going to be honored this month by the University of Dubuque. In a release, UD officials say the school will award Petitgoue a doctor of humane letters for his leadership as an alum – plus his commitment to a life of service as a teacher and coach. Petitgoue will receive the honorary degree at the University of Dubuque Spring Commencement – which is 1p Saturday, April 30, in the Rec and Wellness Center. He earned his Bachelor’s degree from UD and his Master’s from UW-Platteville. For the past 58 years, Petitgoue has invested his time working with youth in and out of the classroom. He is the winningest basketball coach in Wisconsin High School history. Earlier this year, he became just the 18th high school coach in the nation to reach 1,000 career wins.
