UNC Asheville Director of Athletics Janet R. Cone announced today the retirement of head baseball coach Tom Smith.
“We will be forever grateful to the work done by Coach Smith during his time here at UNC Asheville,” declared Cone. “Tom’s teams always played hard and did an outstanding job in the classroom and off the field. We may have not had the success we had all hoped for on the field but it certainly wasn’t for a lack of effort by Tom Smith and his staff.
“I've really enjoyed my time here at UNC Asheville but it’s time for me to slow down a little bit and spend some time with my family,” explained Smith. “We just had our first grandchild a few days ago, and my wife and I want to spoil him over the next few years.
