Long-time head coach at Clackamas Comm. College basketball talks teaching, life [Video]

OREGON CITY Ore. (KPTV) – Clif Wegner is the long-tenured head coach of the Clackamas Community College basketball program, where he does it for the love of the game.

“I love working with these kids,” Wegner said. “I love how much a kid changes from when he comes in as an 18-year-old high school graduate to leaving as a 20-year-old young man and feeling like we’ve got him academically ready and athletically to go on and compete at a four-year school.”

Wegner is nearing his 50th year of coaching, teaching and mentoring in his home state of Oregon, spending the past 26 seasons leading the men’s basketball program at CCC.

“Our kids are elite athletes. Many of them are just a whisker away from D1 kind of abilities,” he said.
