During his career at Holy Cross, Smiley was a four year varsity letter winner. He was a member of teams that combined to win 84 games during his career. In the 2001-02 season, the Crusaders advanced to the NCAA tournament and played Kansas, and the following year, Holy Cross returned to the tourney and faced Marquette. His 2004-05 team advanced to the second round of the NIT after defeating Notre Dame.

Smiley has lectured at many basketball camps throughout New England. He has also written numerous articles for a variety of basketball publications.
