Brad Rock: Is wildly successful USU basketball coach Craig Smith a long-term acquisition? 'I don't see why not'

SALT LAKE CITY — On the highway rolling west, in an SUV packed like a collapsing zone, Craig Smith worries he might lose his cell reception. But the signal remains strong.

Weak signals really aren’t his thing.

So when the Utah State basketball coach is asked if he “could settle in and stay a long time,” he doesn’t hesitate.

“I don’t see why not,” he says.

His point is that he loves the Cache Valley, as does his wife Darcy. Smith is on speakerphone, driving back to Logan following a visit this week to family in Minnesota.
