Ten days after his arrest in San Francisco on three domestic violence-related charges, the University of San Diego’s men’s basketball head coach Lamont Smith resigned. Smith, who was in his third year as coach, released a statement last Thursday that cited a desire to “ensure that USD and the team be able to move forward without any distractions” as a factor in his resignation. His stepping down came just one day after the San Francisco County District Attorney’s Office announced that they would not be filing charges against him due to a lack of evidence.
