Craig Smith - The gift that keeps on giving

Aggie in Boise · Post by **Aggie in Boise** » January 10th, 2022, 10:40 am

Craig Smith immediately turned our program around and led us to our first ever MWC Championships as well as three NCAA Tourney invites in his three years at the helm.

Like a good and faithful Aggie he left for a worthy cause (to tank the University of Utah's basketball program in an unsuspicious way). The Utes are now 8-8 and have lost 8 of their last 11 games. The losses are expected to continue.

Here's to hoping he can tank the program quickly and get his 12 million dollar payout. The sooner the better. And like I've stated before I love Craig and hope that he does exceptionally well after he leaves Utah.

Don't worry, things will turn around as soon as Craig starts bringing in his own recruits.

Recruiting will be the issue for Craig, because he's a damn good coach.
Can he bring Pac12 talent to Salt Lake? I'm doubtful.

The dude in the glasses is too dark to play for Craig Smith.

I'm not sure Craig Smith is really that great of a coach. His recruiting wasn't great - he had a couple of generational players fall into his lap. He also didn't seem to be a great X's and O's guy. What he was exceptionally good at is motivating his players and being enthusiastic, and getting the most out of them. He is very likeable. That said, I think his deficiencies will ultimately lead him to fail at Utah.

Yes, but 3 of them need visas.

He even has a name for these sorts of players: OKGs.

OKGs= Our Kind of Guys, right?

And let’s be clear, I don’t think anyone here is accusing Smith of overt racism. Just in good fun.

Yes! Our Kind of Guys. While some leveled accusations, tacit or explicit, against Coach Smith, I disagree with those. Part of his "Our Kind of Guys" criteria might have indirectly pushed things that direction a tad, but that's a different discussion.

I still wish Coach Smith nothing but good luck. We were very lucky that he came to USU.

The 3 year run that Craig orchestrated will always be one of my highlights of Aggie basketball. What he did while here was incredible and he made Aggie basketball fun again. That being said I truly hope Utah does not win another game.

2018-2020 was a lot of fun for USU basketball!

However, it is already obvious that Craig Smith couldn't recruit MWC players to USU. It will be harder recruiting PAC 12 players to Ewtaugh which has proudly proclaimed itself to be a "football school".

Time will tell if C. Smith is just a basketball version of Charlie Weatherbie in the lore of USU athletics. Charismatic, excitable coaches who inherited teams with some good players and then squeezed the most out them for a short run of success, but otherwise couldn't recruit new talent to fill the void.

So what you're saying is that Timmy D hooked us up with the talent and should be credited with those three years of success.

I was pissed as hell when Timmy got canned. In fact I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard about his dismissal.

The one thing about the critique of Smith's recruiting that I don't get is the continued implication that Queta "fell in his lap". He brought Peterson from USD who was largely responsible for landing a once in a generation post player and then that staff developed him into an NBA draft pick.

Sam did fall into his lap, but that staff developed him into an NBA draft pick, which might not have happened otherwise. The development of Bean (not taking a thing away from his work ethic) and the subtle, yet very visible contributions made by guys like Quinn Taylor, Brito and Porter impressed me a lot.

Having said that, time will tell at Utah whether he can recruit on the Pac 12 level. Bottom line he's gone and I'm pretty darn happy with his replacement. Smith and Odom have different personalities, styles, etc., but I think they are both really good coaches.

Exactly, Craig is far from perfect, but he is a really good coach. The transformation he made with the team was incredible. Whether Queta fell into his lap or it was Petersen that did all the recruiting. To be honest I could care less he was the coach so ultimately it was under his watch that it happened under.

Also, I think we could speak to how he helped develop Sam. What would Sam say about Coach Smith's role in his development?

aggies95 · Post by **aggies95** » January 10th, 2022, 7:46 pm

I'm appreciative of what Coach Smith did at Utah State. I'm still unsure how much credit to attribute to him.

Recruiting:

I give him credit for getting Queta here. But he missed an awful lot more than he hit in terms of recruiting. And not just misses - bad misses. Liam McChesney, Kuba, Zahar, T Knight, Zapala. Rollie is fine. Bairstow is finally coming on. Transfers - Phons, Marco were good players for us. But some of the recruiting whiffs were head scratchers. Queta outweighs every miss combined, but I was starting to doubt him on the recruiting front.

Coaching:

From a coaching standpoint, he played Brock more minutes than Bean last year. I'm still convinced if he had guarded Alston with anyone other than Brock with back spasms, we win both those games and win the regular season title. He refused to play Phonz at the 3 (the small sample size with Phonz starting at the 3 included a sweep of arguably the hottest team in the conference at the time - Nevada - in convincing fashion). He ran a million sets and didn't give the players much freedom. Not enough pick and roll with Neemi. Instead, force fed him on the block all season. Not a bad option, btw, but also really predictable and led to TOs in crucial games. He did have some great out of bounds plays, and his teams shared the ball well.

He relied on pack line defensive concepts and an NBA caliber center in Neemi. Notice that all of the sudden his defensive scheme has Utah as a below average defensive team. Crazy what happens when you don't have a National Defensive player of the year candidate anchoring your D.

His best attribute was that he got maximum effort out of his guys. That's no small feat. Half the battle is being engaged and playing hard for all 40 minutes. His teams did that. That's a huge part of coaching.

At the end of the day, the players he had (Queta, Merrill, and Bean) were too good to make a determination on the X's and O's front. For the good things he did, there were things that really made me scratch my head. Bottom line is without Smith, we don't get Neemi, and that alone was a huge reason for our success, regardless of his coaching ability. This may be crazy, but I don't see him being successful at a Power Conference, and I'd bet against him replicating his success at Utah State at a mid-major level if he ends up at that level again. Playing hard only gets you so far. I'm glad he came, but I don't thing we would've reached the top of the mountain again with him at the helm. Maybe he'll prove me wrong and find high levels of success again as a head coach.

Great analysis! I agree with everything you said. His treatment of Phonz and Bean (at times) was puzzling. Also, he killed it the first two years but was unable to convert that momentum on the recruiting front. And he couldn't beat byu

Having seen how much of an offensive weapon and capable outside shooter Neemias has been in the D-league, I think Smith failed to use and develop Neemias appropriately. The skill progress from season's end until the draft was incredible.

He's always a nice shooting touch but you're right, wish we'd seen it more. What's worse, is Smith almost never ran pick and rolls, which is prevalent in NBA offenses. Can you imagine trying to guard a Merrill / Queta pick and roll? It'd been deadly!

Like Weatherbie, Smith got the most out of players recruited by the previous coach while bringing in some key players.

With the same players, Chuck Shelton doesn't win the Las Vegas Bowl in '93 just like Timmy D. doesn't win back to back MWC Championships with the same players.

However, both showed they weren't able to recruit enough quantity of quality talent to reload.

As much as I enjoy Craig losing at Utah, you guys are being too harsh on him. He is a damn good X and O coach and he has proved this in his coaching career, not only at Utah St, but every stop he has had. His recruiting isn't great, but it is not as terrible as you guys are saying. Please let me know who the last great recruiter was at Utah State?

All this said, I hope he fails at Utah.

I'm pretty sure that was Tim's son. I went into a Complete Nutrition shop in Meridian, Idaho, wearing a Utah State shirt, about a year after Tim got canned and the manager mentioned that he went to USU and then later mentioned that Tim was his father. He was upset with John Hartwell and the way things transpired with the canning of Tim. He felt that his dad deserved another year. He also mentioned that Brito was our ticket to getting Queta. Apparently Queta contacted Brito since he was from Portugal. The shop went out of business shortly after COVID first hit but the Duryea's owned and managed it. I'm pretty sure he was the guy you're referring to.

You mean usu5477. Yeah that person had to be related to Tim.

Tim was a great guy (still is I assume) but was just not up to that job. Perhaps if Stew had stepped down a few years earlier and he had been announced as an immediate successor he could have kept what Stew had going, but taking over in the middle of some lean years after Stew had more or less seemed to disengage and after it was apparent that Barnes wanted to hire almost anyone else, well, he never had a chance.

"I was just sitting in bed one night puzzling why Abel wasn't getting the start, or more minutes. Finally my wife said, 'honey, you're the head coach, don't you make those decisions?' Confused, I wandered into the shower to let the water rush smoothly over my head and hopefully help me understand her words. And that's when it dawned on me. I COULD GIVE HIM MORE MINUTES. Since that day, Abel has gotten more playing time."
