Allard grew up in San Jose, California and attended Archbishop Mitty High School.[1] Allard went on to play collegiately at UC San Diego, where he immediately became one of the most prominent players on court. In his final season as a player for the Tritons, he was named to the 2007-08 All-CCAA Second Team,[2] having led the Tritons make their first NCAA DII Championship appearance, advancing to the West Region Quarterfinals.[3]
Coaching career
