Remembering the late Clyde 'The Glide' Austin, 1970s NC State guard


Clyde “The Glide” Austin was smooth, sometimes to his own detriment. The former NC State point guard (1976-80) and Harlem Globetrotter was a legendary recruit from Richmond’s Maggie L. Walker High School, where he scored 2,158 points. When he was signed by head coach Norm Sloan, he was one of the top 5 high school guards in the nation. (The Wolfpacker)
