Club playing career
Collet had a 13-year career as a professional basketball player in the Ligue Nationale de Basketball.
Club coaching career
Collet first became a head coach in 2000. He coached French squad Le Mans for six years, between the 2000–01 and 2006–07 seasons, leading the team to a 2006 French League championship and the French Cup in 2004, as well as the Semaine des As in 2006. While with the club, he was named the French League Coach of the Year in 2001 and 2004, before leaving the team in 2007. He returned to the French League in the 2008-09 season, where he promptly led ASVEL Lyon-Villeurbanne to the French League championship, their first since 2002. In the 2015–16 season, he coached Strasbourg to the 2016 EuroCup Finals, in which the team eventually lost to Galatasaray. He also won his third LNB Pro A Coach of the Year Award. After this season, Collet and Strasbourg decided to part ways after the expired contract.
After Strasbourg had a disappointing start to the 2016–17 season, they hired Collet again on October 27, 2016.
French national team coaching career
Collet was hired as the senior men's French national basketball team coach in March 2009, following a disappointing qualifying run towards the EuroBasket 2009, that forced the team to qualify through the additional qualifying round. After successfully leading the French national team through the additional qualifying round, as the 16th and final EuroBasket qualifier, he coached the national team for the first time at EuroBasket 2009. He led the team to a fifth-place finish, which was good enough to qualify for the 2010 FIBA World Championship. He coached France to the first gold medal of its history at EuroBasket 2013 in Slovenia.
