Utah State head women's basketball coach Jerry Finkbeiner has announced the addition of Cori Smith to the USU staff as the director of basketball operations.
Smith joins the Aggies after spending the 2017-18 season as a graduate assistant coach at Seattle Pacific. In her role there, she coordinated team travel and practices and helped advertise the team's promotional games. While Smith was on staff, Seattle Pacific finished the season with a 23-8 record, placing third in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference with a 15-5 league record. The Falcons earned an at-large bid to the Division II NCAA Tournament, falling to UC San Diego in the first round.
