Best HS Basketball Coach in South Carolina ever in my opinion.

Glymph did a lot for HS basketball, and he sent several great players from Eau Claire to USC. This was before the shoe companies, and sleazy street agents took over recruiting.

Good man from all I ever heard about him. He leaves a nice legacy of helping many kids reach their goals and potential. RIP coach.

I saw a lot of his teams play at the Beach Ball Classic in Myrte Beach when growing up. He was a good coach and seemed very respected by his players

Oops....Wrong Coach Glymph down the street from me.

(Yes ...there's 2 of them. And they are both named George. 🤦‍♀️)

True Columbia and SC legend, taught me a lot in the short time I camped with him at USC. RIP

He was right up there. Legendary coach and towering figure in the Midlands especially.

Coach Glymph was the best - a great coach and a good man. He taught me a lot about the game. Nobody did it better than Coach Glymph.

Coach Glymph was indeed the greatest. I think of what Dave Odom said about Coach Glymph's hero, Frank McGuire, "he was a great coach and a better human being." Sums up George Glymph perfectly. I was in awe of him and I'm far from alone. There willl never be another one like him.

As soon as I said that, Tim Whipple came in my head, but I still go with Glymph.

He was definitely the best in the midlands during the 80's and 90's. It's ironic that 2 Legendary High School Coaches died within a month of each other. Loue Golden died last month around Thanksgiving. Rip!

Though not from the Midlands, another great S.C. coach and gentleman who labored in the hinterlands. https://scafricanamerican.com/honorees/taft-m-watson/

FWIW...this may or may not be true. He lives 3 houses down from me. I didn't see anything that would lead me to believe that he had passed when I left for work this morning. He drove by the house yesterday in his truck. Dana (daughter) stopped by last Tuesday to check on Grandmother, and mentioned that he wasn't doing well. But there is nothing going on at the house right now that would lead us to believe something has happened.

Hummm... He may have passed away in his sleep?

Glymph was Columbia basketball for years and a great guy.
