"The Circus Comes To Town"

One of the most respected System coaches in the country is Gary Smith. He was the long time coach at The University of Redlands. He has sense retired, but he was so respected the court was named after him there. He is a disciple of coaching great Paul Westhead and was at Loyola Marymount the night Hank Gathers tragically died.

Gary has been more than kind to me over the years and what is incredible about him is although he is a System coach his specialty is defense. Click here to read more about this genius.
