As head coach, he had only three losing seasons in 16 years, turned out five all-Americans, won three conference titles and took his 1954 team to the Final Four, losing to Bradley. Highly respected by peers, he was elected president of the National Basketball Coaches Association in 1965 and inducted into the Helms Foundation Hall of Fame in 1968.

Personable, talented, witty, knowledgeable and popular are words that apply to Forrest Twogood. When the man who today becomes the 114th person taken into the Des Moines Sunday Register's Iowa Sports Hall of Fame died of cancer at 64 in 1972, the Trojans named the auditorium in Heritage Hall, the campus showplace for athletic tradition, in his honor. The bronze plaque reads:

"Athlete and coach, able administrator, dedicated sportsman, man of courage, honor and compassion, Forrest Twogood is synonymous with the athletic heritage of the University of Southern California. He served USC and intercollegiate athletics with brilliance and devotion. The university is proud to express its love and esteem for Twogie by designating this hall forever in his name."
