Knight and McCarthy on the podium at FWB Clinic

GREENVILLE, N.C. — East Carolina coach Mack McCarthy and Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame coach Bob Knight will be the featured speakers at the 24th Annual Fort Walton Beach (FWB) Basketball Coaching Clinic, which will be held at the Ramada Beach Resort April 24-26 in Fort Walton Beach, Fla.
 
Knight won 902 games during his career, the most in NCAA Division I history.

He received Big Ten Coach-of-the-Year honors six times and was named National Coach-of-the-Year four times.

McCarthy, in his second year as head coach at ECU, has won 13 conference titles in 17 previous years as a head coach. As the head coach at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga from 1985-97, McCarthy enjoyed one of the most prosperous runs of any coach during that era. He led the Mocs to five NCAA Tournaments, including a Sweet 16 appearance in 1997, and two NIT births.
