HARTSVILLE, S.C. – Coker College is pleased to announce the hiring of Tony Smith as the Cobras’ first ever men’s lacrosse coach. Smith will take the helm of the newly formed Coker lacrosse program starting December 1.
“I would like to thank Coker College Athletic Director Lynn Griffin and Coker College President Dr. Robert Wyatt for the opportunity to be the inaugural head coach of the men’s lacrosse team,” said Smith. “I look forward to building the Coker College men’s lacrosse program into a Conference Carolinas and NCAA regional powerhouse.”
Smith comes to Coker from fellow Conference Carolinas member Belmont Abbey College, where he has been the assistant coach and defensive coordinator since 2007. At the Abbey, Smith was in charge of all of the Crusaders’ recruiting efforts locally, nationally and internationally, while also creating and implementing the defensive unit and strategy for a lacrosse program that has finished in the top three in the Conference Carolinas standings in two of the last three years.
In 2010, the Crusaders defensive unit held opposing teams to less than 10 points per game. The 2010 season was also the second consecutive season that the Crusader defensive unit caused more than 100 turnovers, with 126.
In addition to his coaching responsibilities, Smith was also an instructor in Belmont Abbey’s Sports Administration Program.
