Coaching Clinic History
The 78th Annual North Carolina Coaching Clinic continues a strong tradition of service to the state’s scholastic coaches with a program featuring outstanding clinicians in nine sports. Over 264,000 coaches have attended the clinic since Bob Jamieson, athletic director and coach at Greensboro Senior High (now Grimsley), and Smith Barrier, sports editor of the Greensboro Daily News, inaugurated the event in 1949.
