Grammar

Commas and Names

Hello folks,

I'm a freelance writer who's recently been reprimanded for my comma usage! I'm trying to clean up my act, but unfortunately I grew up during the era when "whole English" was popular, so no one ever really taught me proper grammar. That's my excuse, anyway. ;-)

So here's my question:

"According to Duke legend, Cameron Indoor Stadium began as a rough sketch on a matchbook cover by then Duke basketball coach, Eddie Cameron."

Comma before Eddie Cameron, or no?

Thanks!

Welcome to the Forums! I would put a comma before Eddie. Comma usage is sometimes a matter of style.
