Smith Named to NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Ethics Coalition

INDIANAPOLIS – Utah head men's basketball coach Craig Smith was recently appointed to the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Ethics Coalition.

"I was honored to get the call from the NCAA and asked to join the Ethics Coalition," Smith said. "I'm thrilled to be a part of this committee and excited to work alongside some of the best coaches, both current and former, to help put our profession in the best position possible moving forward in the ever-changing landscape that is college athletics."

The role of the Division I Men's Basketball Ethics Coalition is to promote ethical conduct among NCAA Division I men's basketball coaches through education, leadership and mentoring.
The group is charged with:

Identifying ethical issues facing Division I men's basketball coaches and providing general guidance to coaches on possible ways to deal with those issues through educational and reference materials.
Providing leadership by "walking the walk and talking the talk" with regards to ethical conduct. The Coalition will be vocal in addressing ethical issues and affirmatively seeking to build a coalition of coaches committed to ethical behavior.
Acting as quasi-mentors and resources to other coaches on ethical issues and concerns. Coalition members are available to consult with other coaches on ways to resolve ethical problems.

The coalition consists of, at most, 14 members and includes current head men's basketball coaches, current assistant men's basketball coaches and former head men's basketball coaches. In addition to the 14 members, the coalition may include ex-officio members such as an NABC designee who will be a non-voting member and/or a former chairman of the coalition.
