Keith Smart, a former Arkansas basketball assistant, was named the head coach of Utah Prep Academy in Hurricane, Utah, the school announced Monday.
Smart, 60, was on staff under former Arkansas coach Eric Musselman from 2021-24. His hiring at Utah Prep came after the school parted ways with former coach Justin Yamzon two months into the season.
“I’m honored to join Utah Prep Academy,” Smart said in a press release. “This is a program that has grown to unprecedented prominence in such a short period of time. I’m excited to build on the great work that’s already been done and help these young men achieve their goals both on and off the court.
