Right time for Smith to end successful coaching career

Mar. 6, 2012 9:38 pm
IOWA CITY -- Brad Smith has accomplished about all you can as a head wrestling coach, and now he will enjoy doing the things he couldn't as one.
He will have the time for winter trips to Florida to see in-laws, additional visits to Minnesota to see his oldest son, Jacob, and spending a lot more time with his wife, Connie, who loyally supported his coaching career.
Iowa City High D'Anne Kroemer announced Tuesday that Smith will retire at the end of the school year, concluding a storied 34-year coaching career that ranks among the best in Iowa High School history.
