VOLLEYBALL 2004

LINCOLN MEMORIAL COACHING STAFF HEAD COACH: Mike Smith Ten seasons have come and gone with hopes of the eleventh season being a special one. Coach Smith looks to add a seventh straight 20+ win season and a Gulf South Conference Tournament appearance to his resume.

The Lady Railsplitters have a 202-134 record in Smith’s ten seasons and have made three trips to the Gulf South Conference Tournament. The volleyball team has produced eight All-Conference selections, one GSC Eastern Division Freshman of the Year and three Academic All-GSC selections. The team also received a team academic award in 1999 from the American Volleyball Coaches Association.

During the summer, Smith spends most of his time promoting volleyball in and around the area. Not only does he run his own highly successful camp at LMU, but he travels around the region and works at other camps as well.

Originally from Manchester, Kentucky, Smith was a member of the baseball program while a student at Lincoln Memorial University. He received his Bachelors Degree in Athletic Training/Health in 1992 and his Masters Degree in Education Administration and Supervision in 1994. In addition to his coaching duties, Smith serves as the Athletic Business Manager for Lincoln Memorial University’s Turner Arena. He is married to the former Katy Stanley and they have one daughter, Mary Kathryn.
