LOGAN — Utah State shooting guard Sam Merrill met new Aggie head men’s basketball coach Craig Smith for the first time Sunday night.
Merrill admitted that he and his teammates approached the situation cautiously, sizing up the new leader of the USU program like they would an opposing defense.
“It’s hard. There’s all that uncertainty of who your coach is going to be, and then what type of coach he’s going to be. You’ve got people in your ear, left and right,” Merrill said. “But fortunately, I think we got the right guy, and moving forward we’re excited to see how things go.
