High Point coach Flynn Clayman is navigating the NCAA Tournament with his wife Katie Clayman, an assistant with the Panthers women, who are also tournament bound.
They’re also juggling parenting duties for 19-month old son, Quinn.
The No. 12 seed High Point men (30-4) play fifth-seeded Wisconsin (24-10) in a West Region opening round game on Thursday in Portland, Oregon.
The Panther women (27-5) are a No. 15 seed heading into their first-round game Saturday against No. 2 Vanderbilt (27-4) in Nashville.
Of 136 teams, there are 30 schools with both their men’s and women’s teams in the two tournament fields.
Katie Clayman brought Quinn to Portland from North Carolina to cheer on dad in the men’s game, then the two of them will hop on a flight to join the women’s team.
“He’s here for this one. If we’re fortunate enough to win, I don’t think he’d be at the Saturday game,” Flynn Clayman said. “He’s here. I’m so happy he’s here.”
Flynn Clayman is in his first season as coach of the Panthers after two seasons as an associate head coach under Alan Huss. High Point, riding a 14-game winning streak, is making its second straight tournament appearance.
Katie Clayman has been a High Point assistant coach since 2023.
