Alaska Fairbanks Hires Ex-Wichita State Coach

Darryl Smith, who has 17 years of collegiate coaching experience including 15 as a head coach, has been named the head women's basketball coach at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

The UAF job will be Smith's fourth head coaching position. He previously spent five years at NCAA Division I Wichita State, eight at Division II Metro State and two at Butler Community College in El Dorado, Kans.

As a head coach, he has a 267-163 career record, eight 20-win seasons, four conference championships and four NCAA tournament bids.

"Darryl's passion for teaching and learning is instantly recognizable,” said UAF athletic director Forrest Karr.

“I had the opportunity to speak with administrators and coaches from each of Darryl's previous institutions," Karr said. "Every one pointed out the respect Darryl earned from players and talked about his positive effect on coworkers and their entire department."

Smith spent last season as an assistant coach with the University of Nevada.

At Butler CC he led his team to a 23-10 record and the Region IV semifinal game in 2006-07.

Prior to taking the Butler CC job, Smith spent five years at Wichita State leading the Shockers to a 74-68 overall record and a pair of Women's National Invitational Tournament invitations in 1999 and 2000 (the only two postseason appearances in school history).

In 1999-00, he guided Wichita State to a 20-10 overall record and a 14-4 Missouri Valley Conference record, the first 20-win season and the best regular-season MVC finish in school history, as well as an appearance in the WNIT.

For his efforts, he was named the 2000 Rawlings Missouri Valley and Kansas Basketball Coaches Association Coach of the Year.

Smith also served as the head coach at Metro State for eight years, putting together six 20-win seasons and a 160-64 overall record.

A three-time conference coach of the year, he guided the Roadrunners to three appearances in the NCAA Division II tournament, three conference championships and three conference tournament titles.

He also spent one season as an assistant coach at Cal State San Bernardino in 1990.

A native of San Jose, California, Smith earned his bachelor's degree in education from the College of Great Falls (Mont.) in 1981.
