In his previous 23 seasons with the HEAT, Simon has had many responsibilities in the scouting and basketball operations department.

In his previous two seasons, Smith coached the Skyforce to an overall record of 54-46 (.540).

With a full arsenal at his disposal last season, Smith earned NBA G League Coach of the Month honors while leading the Skyforce to a 6-1 record during the month of February. Smith previously served as head coach of the Rio Grande Valley Vipers for two seasons (2013-15) where he compiled an overall record of 57-43 (.570). In his first season with the Vipers, Smith led the team to a postseason berth after recording a 30-20 (.600) record and setting a then NBA G League single-season record for most three-point field goal attempts per game at 45.3. The following season he posted a 27-23 (.540) record as his teams averaged an impressive 123.2 points per game in his two season stint. Prior to entering the professional ranks, Smith served as the head coach at NCAA Division III Keystone College. The Giants were 39-16 (.709) in Smith’s two seasons at the helm and managed to reach the only two CSAC championship game appearances in school history. From 2002-11, Smith held numerous assistant coaching positions at Ithaca College, Allegheny College, SUNY Canton and St. Lawrence University. Smith Graduated from Bethany College, where he completed a degree in sports management in 2002. A two-sport athlete in basketball and golf for Bethany, he earned All- PAC honors on four occasions, three in basketball and one in golf. He finished his basketball career as the school’s all-time leader in three-pointers made (313) and free throw percentage (.870). Smith and his wife, Lindsay, were married in August of 2017 and are expecting their first child in January of 2019. Kasib Powell Assistant Coach Kasib Powell begins his third year as assistant coach of the Sioux Falls Skyforce. Powell previously spent two seasons (2007-09) with the Skyforce as a player, where he earned NBA G League MVP honors in 2008. In addition to his stint as a player in Sioux Falls, Powell was signed to a 10- day contract by the Miami HEAT on March 22, 2008 and was later re-signed for the remainder of the season on April 8. He appeared in 11 games (four starts) with Miami and averaged 7.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 27.6 minutes per game. In total, his professional career spanned nine seasons, which included stops in the NBA, NBA G League, CBA, USBL and playing overseas. Since his retirement in 2013, Powell has served as the director of the South Dakota Basketball Network, which focuses on the development of AAU players. He also had a brief stint as Head Coach of the Dakota Magic of the National Basketball League of America. Powell now resides in Sioux Falls with his girlfriend and three children, Kaevon, Janiyah and Jamre.
