At the end of his post game interview with Scotty he yelled "GO AGGIES!"

I love this guy. I can't believe we got him. We are so lucky to have him. His energy is infectious. I hope he sticks around for a long time.

He yells Go Aggies with every interview. And what an interview he is!

If the Aggies keep this up for the remainder of the season and finish alone in 2nd place, is there any way he doesn’t win the coach of the year award. Musselman’s team was picked to win the conference by everyone and we were picked to finish 9th. You tell me who has done the better coaching job.

And he did it with Summit League level players!

I’m tired of all these summit league recruits we play with. Can’t get anything done with them.

Musselman may win it, but Smith deserves it. He's done an unbelievable job.

Coach Smith has really elevated our program. He’s a team coach and uses all 5 players on the court. I’m so glad we didn’t bring in Coach Rahe from Weber. We now have a coach that understands basketball and knows how to win in the clutch. He has an offense that’s inclusive of his bigs and is going to take our program to a higher level!

Helluva job by Smith. Just curious, how much have the Summit League recruits contributed?

Merrill - no
Taylor - no
Brito - no
Porter - no
Brown - no
Queta - no
Miller - no

Oh, Knight did see the floor for a minute last night

Those summit guys have been what I thought they would be.

There were 3 "Summit League-level" players to begin with, TK, JK3, and Queta (those are the recruits Smith brought in that likely would have gone to SD had he not been hired). TK is the only one to not produce a ton as a true freshman. JK3 was contributing meaningful minutes and Queta... well...

I think we need to give credit to Duryea for bringing in Queta because, well I don't know why, but I am sure someone on this board can come up with a reason.

So refreshing to watch this coach and how this team has developed. The discipline the players have shown thus far to fundamentals, along with how this team executes, is a complete turn around to the Duryea years! Last night's game, start to finish, I never felt like pulling the last of my few hairs out. During the last two minutes of the game, coach Smith had them all dialed in - they knew exactly what the coach wanted, they were efficient when pressed in bringing the ball down the court, defensive shifts and spacing was excellent, and the right guy had the ball at the free throw line when Fresno was forced to foul. Superb coaching and team effort and as Queta said on the post-game interview, "we love playing for coach Smith."

Smith is doing a great job coaching these guys. Smith is coaching well, but that's only one part of the job.
I'm still waiting to see if Smith can recruit well. Right now he'd doing this with the players that were already here + Queta - who is amazing. Let's hop Queta is one of many future examples of Smith's recruiting. But that's yet to be seen.

My favorite part of Coach Smith's post game interview with Scotty last night was when he imitated Queta's voice and sounded like he was a big Russian dude. It was hilarious. The guy is a big nerd and I love it.

Coach Smith has been great but I also think the mature leadership on this squad is a big factor. They also get along and should get credit for buying in to the vision and showing tremendous selflessness.
