Our Founder, Dan Spainhour Named the NCBCA's Ron Miller Distinguished Service Award Winner

 

Dan Spainhour, founder of The Leadership Publishing Team and the former longtime coach at West Stokes High School who announced his retirement in March, was recognized by the North Carolina Basketball Coaches Association for his career stretching nearly four decades. 

In an announcement in August, Spainhour was named the NCBCA's recipient for the Ron Miller Distinguished Service Award. Spainhour, a longtime member of the NCBCA who even served a term on the organization's executive board, compiled a 483-253 record during a 26-year span as a head coach that included two stints with the Wildcats' boys basketball team — a 38-year career, in total. 

Spainhour was the first athletics director and boys basketball coach at West Stokes when the high school in King opened its doors in 1999. He served on Leonard Hamilton's staff at Florida State and Miami as well. He returned to high school coaching in 2007.

He went on to coach at West Stokes another 13 years, ending this past season with a fourth-round appearance in the NCHSAA Class 2-A playoffs. Spainhour led the Wildcats to three straight conference championships before retiring this past season. 

Spainhour, who coached at Bishop McGuinness from 1987 to 1995 as well,  was voted the  2020 Western Piedmont Athletic Conference Coach of the year, the All-Northwest Coach of the Year, District 11 Coach of the Year, and now the NCBCA award.
