    Cassetta served four years in the Marines before being discharged in 1947.

    Harvey Stewart never claimed any of the rightful credit due him for being a good coach. He would, however, take credit for hiring a good coach.
    “Hiring John Smith, I guess I did do that one good thing for Great Falls High,” Stewart joked.
    Smith is now the all-time winningest basketball coach in the history of the state, so the hire certainly was a good one. Smith said Stewart did far more for the school than hire a good basketball coach, though.
