Oak Hill's Steve Smith

(LISTEN) Oak Hill Academy head coach Steve Smith is our featured guest in this edition of The Passing Game with Fletcher Arritt.  Coach Smith, who has been coaching at the high school level for over 25 years, has over 750 wins to his credit.  At Oak Hill, Smith has coached a number of collegiate stars and, as he mentions in his interview, over 20 NBA players.

He has been named USA Today National Coach of the Year on three occasions (1994, 1999, 2004).  The Warriors have been honored as "national champions" by USA Today seven times during Smith's tenure.  He has personally coached seventeen NBA draft picks and twenty-three McDonald's All-Americans.

Notable players include, Rajon Rondo, Jerry Stackhouse, Josh Smith, Carmelo Anthony, and Ron Mercer.  He joins Coach Arritt and Brooks Berry to talk about his experiences coaching high-level talent at an academically rigorous prep-school located in a rural area, the history of the program, and some players he has enjoyed working with.  You can follow Coach Smith on Twitter (@OHACoachSmithz).  It is an honor to have him as our guest.
