Growing up with his father in the Air Force, Stewart played multiple sports in a number of different locations. He first started playing basketball in Malaysia.[1]
In 2000, Stewart became the inaugural head coach of the Lakeside Lightning in the State Basketball League (SBL), guiding them to a grand final berth in their first season. In 2005, he guided the Lightning to their first SBL title, later guiding them to three more championships in 2006, 2009 and 2013. He also earned recognition as the league's Coach of the Year five times between 2007 and 2013. He coached over 400 games for the Lightning.[3] He was subsequently named the Assistant Coach of the 25 Year MSBL All-Star Team.[4]
On 23 April 2016, Stewart re-signed with the Lynx on a two-year deal.[8] The Lynx returned to the finals in 2016–17 with a 15–9 record.[9] In 2017–18, the Lynx had a 14-game win streak and finished atop the WNBL ladder.[10] Stewart was subsequently named WNBL Coach of the Year for the second time.[11]
On 5 July 2018, Stewart signed a two-year extension with the Lynx.[12] He parted ways with the Lynx following the 2019–20 season.[13]
