Rana served as head coach for Canada's Senior Men's National Team during the 2019 FIBA World Cup Americas Qualifiers where he led Canada to a 10–2 record and a first-place finish in Group F to secure a 2019 FIBA World Cup bid.
Rana also finished his ninth season as the head coach of the Ryerson University (now Toronto Metropolitan University) men's basketball team where he helped guide the Ryerson Rams to a 31–7 record during the 2018–19 season and a bronze medal finish in the 2019 U Sports Men's Final 8 tournament.

The son of Indian parents from Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, Rana was born in Wolverhampton, England. His family moved to Canada when he was one year old. Rana grew up in Toronto.
In 2000, Rana took over the head coaching job at Eastern Commerce Collegiate Institute and became "one of the most successful high school basketball coaches in Canadian history". During his nine-year tenure at Eastern Commerce, Rana guided the Saints to five provincial high school championships and a combined 14 regional and city titles. Under his guidance, Eastern Commerce finished six of his nine seasons as the top-ranked team in Canada. He compiled a record of 256–39 with a winning percentage of 86.7 at Eastern Commerce.

In March 2017, Rana led the Rams to their first ever national silver medal. In the 2017–18 season, his team defeated the seven-consecutive National champion Carleton Ravens in the U Sports Final 8 semi-final, which was called the "greatest upset in U Sports basketball history".
