ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Jason Smith has been the women’s basketball head coach at Cedarville University since the beginning of the 2021-22 season. He guided the Lady Jackets to records of 17-12 overall and 12-10 G-MAC during his first campaign while qualifying for the G-MAC Tournament. Twelve of his players earned spots on the G-MAC Academic Team while another was voted to the All-G-MAC First Team.
Smith came to Cedarville after producing a notable ten-year run as head coach at Bryan College in Dayton, Tenn. He produced an impressive resume at Bryan where he is the school’s all-time winningest coach. Smith guided the Lions to an overall record of 219-85 including a 157-49 slate in the Appalachian Athletic Conference. His teams claimed five regular season titles, four league tournament crowns, and made six appearances in the NAIA Division II National Tournament. Following his final season, Smith earned his third consecutive AAC Coach of the Year honor after which his team posted a remarkable 78-7 record during that timespan featuring a perfect 64-0 conference mark. He produced nine consecutive winning campaigns including an 18-3 record during the 2020-21 COVID-abbreviated season.
Jason previously served as the head men’s basketball coach at both Calvary Bible College and San Diego Christian College. As an undergraduate at Kansas he was a varsity manager and film technician for Head Coach Roy Williams.
