Gaines Quits Administrative Post
Smokey Gaines, former San Diego State basketball coach, resigned Monday from his position as assistant athletic director, said Fred Miller, SDSU athletic director.
Gaines was named assistant athletic director for marketing and promotions after he resigned as basketball coach at the end of the 1986-87 season.
After a 6-21 record in his first season in 1979-80, Gaines guided SDSU to five straight winning seasons, including a National Invitation Tournament appearance in 1982 and an NCAA tournament berth in 1985.
