Allgood also built baseball fields for former players who became coaches as well as homes for [[Habitat for Humanity]]. His coaching rival, Tynes Hildebrand of [[Northwestern State University]] in Natchitoches, also a member of the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame, said  that Allgood always followed the rules of sportsmanship. Hildebran summed up Allgood's legacy: “I think if there is one thing that speaks well of someone, that’s it. We probably won’t ever see someone like him come along again. I don’t think there will ever be another Billy Allgood, and that’s a shame. Young people need Billy Allgood for a role model."<ref name=naia/>
