Coaches Pick Vols' Smith Unanimous All-SEC

Chism Earns Second-Team Honors

Monday, November 02, 2009 - by special report to The Chattanoogan

KNOXVILLE --The Southeastern Conference unveiled its sixth annual men’s basketball coaches preseason All-SEC teams Monday, and a pair of Tennessee seniors earned inclusion. Guard/forward Tyler Smith was one of six unanimous first-team selections, while forward/center Wayne Chism landed on the eight-man second team.

A total of 27 different players received votes for the teams and Tennessee, Kentucky, Ole Miss and South Carolina led all schools with two selections each.

This was the second official first-team preseason All-SEC award for Smith, who last month was named to the media’s squad. Chism, however, was left off the media’s All-SEC listing.

Smith and Chism both were named to last seasons’ SEC Tournament All-Tournament Team after leading the Volunteers to the championship game. Both are also members of Tennessee’s 1,000-point club. A native of Pulaski, Tenn., Smith enters his final college season ranked 39th in school history with 1,079 points. Chism, a native of Jackson, Tenn., ranks 36th with 1,141 points.

Thank You, Judge Mattice And Chattanooga

I would like to thank Judge Mattice for handing down a 30.5 year sentence for Kathleen Mathews.  Obviously, no amount of jail time, fines, or lashings can bring back Tim Chapin.   A 30-year sentence will, however, make the world just a little safer.  That's what Sgt.
