Steve Smiley
About
Smiley took over the program after a four-year stint as the associate head coach.
Northern Colorado men's basketball held an 80-50 record over the past four years with Smiley as the associate head coach. In that time frame, the Bears won the 2018 CollegeInsider.com Tournament and strung together three-straight 20-plus win seasons.
He helped guide the Big Sky MVP, Defensive Player of the Year three times, Newcomer of the Year, Top Reserve, and Freshman of the Year over those four years.
More accomplishments during that time include UNC ended up ranked in the Top 100 on the NET/RPI twice, setting a program record with 26 wins in 2017-18 and twice winning a program-best 15 Big Sky games in 2018-19 and 2019-20.
Tasked in leading Northern Colorado's defensive efforts, Smiley led the Bears to rank fourth in the nation in 3-point percentage defense at 28.0 percent and 22nd in scoring defense at 62.7 points per game in 2019-20.
His Colorado roots were integral to the Bears recruiting efforts, including landing current Bears Sam Masten and Bodie Hume. Masten was the 2018 Colorado Gatorade Player of the Year and 5A Player of the Year and Hume the 2018 3A Player of the Year.
Smiley's experience in the Big Sky goes beyond his four years at UNC as he was an assistant coach at Weber State from 2014-16. The Wildcats won 39 games in those two years and advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2016 by winning the Big Sky Tournament.
Before Weber State, Smiley spent six years as the head coach and Athletic Director at Sheridan College, a national junior college powerhouse in Sheridan, Wyoming.
In the six years with the Generals, Smiley posted a 153-43 overall record and led Sheridan to four North Sub-Region 9 titles and two runner-up finishes. His teams also advanced to the Region 9 Final Four on four occasions and appeared in two championship games. Smiley was twice named the North Region Coach of the Year.
During his time at Sheridan, Smiley had 21 players sign to play NCAA Division I basketball, and a total of 38 players moved on to play at four-year colleges. He coached two players who earned NJCAA All-American honors and nine players who earned All-Region honors. Several players went on to play professional basketball across the world.
Prior to his stint at Sheridan, Smiley spent two seasons as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota where he worked under the winningest coach in NCAA history, Don Meyer. During his time at NSU, the Wolves posted a 50-12 record. Smiley was also the head assistant coach at Black Hills State University during the 2005-06 season.
A native of Denver, Smiley graduated from Northern State in 2004. He was a three-year starter with the Wolves and led the Northern Sun league in assists for three straight seasons. He ranks second in NSU history in career assists with 537. As a senior, he was named the NSIC Defensive Player of the Year and the league tournament MVP. He helped lead the team to a 24-7 record and a trip to the NCAA Division II Tournament.
He played high school basketball at Pomona High School in Arvada, Colorado, where he was a four-year starter and earned All-State honors twice while graduating as his class valedictorian. He also led the state of Colorado in assists during his junior season.

7 Seconds or Less Offenseby Steve SmileyViews: 2309Free
7 Seconds or Less
Transition offense is a tool that can cripple the opposing team. There are many faces of a transition game, it can be slow, a walk up floor transition or an aggressive fast break. In order for a break to be impactful and effective, all players must follow up in a unit. Transition systems are designed to take advantage of an opponent's breakdown while they switch to defense.
Teams with a strong transition offense have the opportunity to score easier points than teams who can't attack on the break. It's vital that fast breaks happen before the defense has the time to set into their defensive scheme. Playing fast tires out the defense as well as sets the tempo of the game, while having a slower style of play makes it more difficult to get into rhythm and gain momentum.
Learn how to play fast, create a transition offense that creates easy points and a team who controls the tempo. Introducing University of Northern Colorado’s Steve Smileys..
