Tom Smith (born September 8, 1944) was the head men's basketball coach at Valparaiso University from 1980 until 1988.[1] Smith played basketball at Horace Mann High School in Gary, Indiana and collegiately for Valparaiso.[2] During his leadership, the Crusaders joined the AMCU in 1982. The 1983–1984 season was the first in Crusader history to appear in a conference tournament, losing to Western Illinois. His career record with the Crusaders was 84–138.[1] Tom coached 25 of his 38 seasons at Missouri Western, where he compiled a 448–279 record.[3] Smith coached the Griffons to 10 NCAA Division II national tournaments, five MIAA regular season championships and four MIAA postseason tournament titles. Smith has also been named MIAA Coach-of-the-year twice while he was at MWSU. Under Smith's guidance, Western has produced an MIAA Most valuable player, an MIAA tournament MVP, 45 All-MAA selections, six All-Region picks, and three NCAA All-Americans. He currently has a .586 overall winning percentage at the college level, ranking him in the top 20 active coaches, and also is the winningest coach in Missouri Western history.
