Est. 1974 (MCN) 1101 Meet Craig Smith By David Lias david.lias@plaintalk.net Call up the staff directory of the University of South Dakota Athletic Department and you’ll find Craig Smith’s name listed. He and his family are technically the newest residents of Vermillion, or soon to be, once they find a house in the community and get settled. Craig was named as the 17th head men’s basketball coach in the 106-year history of the University of South Dakota at a press conference on the USD campus March 24. Smith, who helped lead Nebraska to its first NCAA Tournament appearance in 16 seasons, follows Dave Boots, who spent 25 seasons in Vermillion, and Boots' long-time assistant Joey James, who served as interim head coach throughout the 2013-14 campaign. "I couldn't be more proud to be the next basketball coach at the University of South Dakota," said Smith. "USD is a great school. The vision of President (James) Abbott and of David Herbster aligns with my vision, and the new facility is a symbol and a sign that the best is yet to come." South Dakota Athletic Director David Herbster commented, "When I laid out the vision for the program and the qualities and characteristics we were seeking, it was a pretty long list. Craig Smith stood out amongst a very strong field of candidates and hit everything we were looking for to take our program to the next level." Smith has successfully rebuilt four different programs in the last 13 seasons. Ten of those seasons were spent as an GUBBELS SALVAGE Wanted: • Old Cars • RV Motorhomes • Farm Machinery • Irrigation Systems • Any Type of Scrap Iron • Grain Bin Removal Paying Top Dollar Will Pick Up Towing Service & Skid Loader Work. 1-402-640-6335 Coleridge, NE assistant coach for Tim Miles at North Dakota State (2001-04), Colorado State (2008-12) and Nebraska (2012-14). He served as head coach at Mayville State the other three seasons (2004-07) where he compiled a record of 72-29 while advancing to three NAIA national tournaments, including a trip to the national championship game in 2007. He was named NAIA National Coach of the Year for those accomplishments. "When I was at North Dakota State, I always remembered driving into Vermillion and walking into the DakotaDome," said Smith. "I watched guys like Josh Mueller, Turner Trofholz and Tommie King and I recall the crowd, the support and the atmosphere inside the Dome. Coyote fans were so into the games. I have always been impressed by that." Smith grew up the oldest of five brothers in Stephen, a small town in northern Minnesota. He enrolled at the University of North Dakota and graduated in 1996 with a bachelor's degree in secondary education and social science. He earned his master's degree from Northern State in teaching and learning three years later.
