Coach Miller is known nationally not only for his ability to teach his players the game, but in assisting fellow coaches as well!
One of the more flattering aspects of being a head coach at the Division I level is that when your peers and colleagues truly respect what you’ve accomplished, you can be asked to speak at coaching clinics. Thus, it’s not a big surprise, but flattering nonetheless, that Coach Miller is asked multiple times a year to speak at clinics all over the country.
Though it is extremely difficult to honor such requests with all the time demands running your own Division I program brings, Coach Miller recently did find time this past Friday to speak at the University of Indianapolis Coaches Clinic. The clinic’s speakers included among others Matt Painter, Purdue University’s Men’s Head Coach, Rob Senderoff, Kent State’s new Men’s Head Coach, and Sharon Versyp, Purdue’s Women’s Head Coach. Speaking in front of over 100 Indiana High School Boys and Girls coaches, Coach Miller demonstrated some of our secondary breaks and early offenses. Judging by the numerous requests he’s been getting from coaches who attended the clinic asking for more information, and/or to come watch practice and meet with him, it’s a reasonable assumption to think that his topic was well received.
And for fans who worry that Coach Versyp was taking very detailed notes in order to help prepare for our November 17th game in the first official women’s basketball game in the Stroh Center, Coach Miller wanted everyone to know that he was very informative, but that he didn’t share ALL our secrets!
Though travelling and speaking at various clinics adds more responsibility and time constraints on an already stressful schedule, Coach Miller will continue to go out and speak nationally about our program - both an honor to him personally, and a tremendous way to represent our program and Bowling Green State University.
