Grahm Smith was named the head coach of women's basketball at Lenoir-Rhyne University in 2020.
Smith built both programs he previously coached to historic levels and owns a 69-9 all-time conference record. In just two seasons at William Peace University, Smith led the Pacers to a 39-16 mark and was named the 2020 USA South Coach of the Year after guiding his team to a 15-1 record in USA South action and a 23-5 overall mark. In addition, Smith's Pacers became the first program in any sport at William Peace to earn a bid to the NCAA Division III tournament. They won the USA South regular-season title in the East Division for the first time in program history.
Before taking over at William Peace, Smith served as the head women's coach at Dean College from 2013-18. During his tenure with the Bulldogs, the college was 96-37 overall and 43-3 in conference play while making three consecutive national tournament appearances. His 24-win season during the 2015-16 campaign was a single-season record for wins, and he left as the winningest coach in program history. In addition to his on-court success, Smith helped transition the Bulldogs from NJCAA to NCAA Division III. During both tenures, Smith also served as director of student-athlete academic success and assistant athletic recruiting coordinator.
Smith recruited and developed 11 First Team All-Conference selections, eight All-Americans and three Academic All-Americans.
As a student-athlete, he was a two-year member of the men's basketball team at Palm Beach Atlantic and spent one year at Maryville College, where he helped his team to a Sweet 16 appearance in the NCAA Division III tournament.
