Smith will develop and lead UST’s inaugural basketball team which is set to take the court for the first time in 2009-2010 school year. He will assume his post at UST as of June 1. Smith served as the top assistant basketball coach at Rice University from 1996 to 2007. On the basketball court, his duties included player development, strength and conditioning, and the planning and implementation of daily practices. When not on the floor working with one of the Owls, Smith's responsibilities included scheduling, travel, fundraising, academics, office administration and summer camp.
