Rob Smart has been a member of the coaching staff with the Ravens since the 2004-05 season, where he has helped lead the team to thirteen U SPORTS national championships, including ten as an assistant coach (2005-2007, 2009, 2011-2015, 2017, 2019, 2021), and an eleventh title as interim head coach (2016).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart, who played guard during his university career, was also named OUA East Player of the Year in 2001.
