Navy Pays Respect to an Elder: Navy will honor Dave Smalley, a 1957 graduate who was twice the team’s captain and also worked as a coach and administrator for the Midshipmen, by naming the court for him during a ceremony in January against Bucknell. Smalley also played baseball for Navy in addition to racking up 856 points in three seasons on the basketball team. After serving in the Marine Corps for five years, Smalley returned to Navy to coach for 10 years, leading the Midshipmen to a 94-130 record.
