Caprice Smith found her way back home a dozen years after suiting up for coach Doug Bruno and his nationally renowned women's on Aug. 23, 2020 as the new video coordinator after Jacqui Grant moved onto an assistant coaching position with Omaha.
Smith has bolstered an elite college basketball staff. After playing four years under Bruno's tutelage, her knowledge of the DePaul system translates well with the current Blue Demons.
Smith spent 11 years as an assistant coach at the legendary Montini High School program under Jason Nichols, one of the nation's most accomplished coaches who is the new women's basketball coach at Morton College.
Montini captured four state championships in nine appearances to the state finals during her tenure. Smith was also a valued teacher and counselor at Montini while coordinating the team’s video and social media.
Just before her Lincoln Park reunion, Smith worked in a newly-created role last February at Morton College as Athletic Retention and Compliance Specialist. She worked to establish an open line of communication with Morton's faculty helping to identify issues with student-athletes while also serving as an assistant coach with the women’s basketball team.
Smith spent her offseasons coaching on the local and national travel team circuits while also serving as a valued member of Bruno’s girls basketball camp the last 12 summers.
It's no wonder DePaul went 92-33 during Smith's four years (2004-08) playing alongside such talent as WNBA All-Star and Chicago Sky all-time leading scorer Allie Quigley and her honorable mention All-American sister Sam, three-time All-American Khara Smith, honorable mention All-Americans Deirdre Naughton and Natasha Williams along with Jenni Dant, Jenna Rubino, Felicia Chester, Missy Mitidiero and China Threatt among others.
The Blue Demons went to four NCAA tournament during Smith's career including the program's first NCAA Sweet 16 appearance in 2005-06
Smith left her mark scoring 1,199 points in her career and leading the team in rebounding and blocked shots as a junior. She was a member of the Conference USA Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll in 2004-05 and a three-time BIG EAST All-Academic Team member.
After graduating DePaul in 2008 with a bachelor's degree in communications, concentrating in TV, radio and film, Smith began her high school coaching career in 2009 with the legendary Broncos.
