IMBLER â The question startled Imbler High School wrestling coach Doug Hislop.
Hislop was riding in a vehicle in late January when he received a cellphone call from Mike Mills, IHSâs principal and athletic director.
âAre you sitting down?â Mills asked.
The Imbler athletic director then delivered stunning news. Mills told Hislop the National Federation of High School Sports named him the National Coach of the Year for wrestling.
Hislop at first thought Mills was kidding.
âI was totally amazed. To think that there are so many great coaches out there and I was selected. I am honored,â Hislop said. âIt boggles my mind. . Some great coaches must have been overlooked.â
