They're married and both coaching in March Madness: 'Living the best life right now'

PORTLAND, OR – Everyone knows the sacrifices the spouse of a coach goes through, but what if both people in a marriage are coaches? Even crazier, what if they’re both in the NCAA Tournament at the same time? It’s made for a March Madness family affair unlike any other at High Point.

Men’s basketball coach Flynn Clayman and women’s basketball assistant coach Katie Clayman each have their teams in the Big Dance, achieving new heights with their respective programs. What makes it even more fun? They’re getting to experience the run together.

"It's just been perfect. I love the game of basketball. Then to find a woman that I love more than the game of basketball, I thought that was impossible, but it happened," Flynn said.

The couple have been with each other nearly every step of the way in their careers. They met while they were both assistants at Southern Utah, connecting simply because they were in the same athletic department. They spent multiple seasons at Southern Utah before they tied the knot.
