St. John's coach Jim Smith needs 15 more wins to reach 700 for his career. But the 44-year coach of the Johnnies has a little more than wins under his feet. His team will have a refurbished court, named for the head coach and his wife. The floor in Sexton Arena will be known as the Jim and Adrienne Smith Court.

"We have been blessed to have Jim and Adrienne as part of the Saint John's community for over 44 years, and I am delighted to know that the basketball court in Sexton Arena will bear their names," school president Br. Dietrich Reinhart said.

"Having a basketball court named in our honor in Sexton Arena is just a fantastic thing," Jim Smith said. "I'm honored and humbled and everything else in regards to it. It is a wonderful thing."

Smith enters his 45th season as head coach of the Johnnies at 685-475 (.591) for his career. Smith has led his teams to seven MIAC titles, nine trips to the NAIA tournament and eight trips to the Division III NCAA Tournament, including appearances in 2000, 2001 and 2007.

The three-point line is moving 12 inches back this season in men's basketball, from 19 feet, 9 inches, to 20 feet, 9 inches., resulting in paint jobs across Division III.
