It's been his first year at Tennessee State as the head coach.

They have won the regular season title for the Ohio Valley Conference.

They beat UT Martin over the weekend, securing the one seed in the Ohio Valley Conference tournament.

First of all, this is the first time that they have won a regular season title in 31 years.

31 years, 1993-94 was the last time that Tennessee State won a conference title share.

And I'm just so, Jason, I know I echo your thoughts.

We're both very, very happy for Nolan Smith and how quickly he's been able to turn this program around.

I mean, again, this is his first year as a head coach.

And we talked to him right after he took the job last year.

year it was it wasn't like he took it in april remember he took it in like july or august so this team was pretty much put together already and he had to take this team and turn it into a winning team and that he has done it's been fascinating to watch and hopefully he's able to get that title in the tournament and secure a birth to ncaa ncaa tournament um where

who knows the committee might be able to say storyline time and see what happens there.

But again, a lot of basketball left be played there.

Congratulations on this, sir.

Noah Smith, the people's champ is now a conference champ as a coach.

It's something to keep an eye on, for sure.

Yeah, and like I said, think of what he could do when he gets a full offseason of recruiting.

Yeah, exactly.

Which he hasn't had yet in his first year as a coach.

So congratulations to him.

More and more to come from in.Smitty, I am very sure.
