WWW.EIUPANTHERS.COM HEAD COACH MIKE MILLER Eastern University head coach Mike Miller has a history of turning programs around and as he enters his third season at the helm of the Panthers program he appears to have the fortunes of the EIU program headed in the right direction. Hired in mid-April of 2005 after fi ve years as the associate head coach at Kansas State University, Miller has already produced two Ohio Valley Conference Freshman of the Year in his short tenure at EIU. In addition his fi rst full recruiting class in 2006 was rated as the best in the OVC by HoopScoop.com while also ranking in the Top 100 recruiting classes nationally. Among the seven new faces Miller and his staff were able to bring in among that top class were the school’s fi rst freshman to lead the program in scoring in the NCAA Division I era in Romain Martin and only the second freshman to lead the team in rebounding as a NCAA Division I school in Ousmane Cisse. Originally from Monmouth, Illinois, Miller has always had ties to the deep tradition of in the State of Illinois and surrounding region. He and his staff (all local products themselves) have emphasized getting the best talent in the area that fi ts their system. In 2007 they have once again accomplished that with two top recruits from Michigan and Wisconsin. Miller’s second season at EIU got off to a rocky start with eight new faces on the roster learning how to play in a new system. As the season progressed the team was able to gel and fi nish strong in the fi nal month by winning fi ve games and making a late run at the OVC Tournament. EIU fi nished at 10-20 mark and was not eliminated from the OVC Tournament picture until the fi nal game at Samford. His fi rst EIU team fi nished with a 6-21 record but the team improved over the course of the season winning fi ve of its six games in Ohio Valley Conference play including a win over conference champion Murray State University. During his tenure at Kansas State, Miller helped the team improve from an 11-18 record his fi rst season to a 17-12 mark in 2004-05. That season the Wildcats started three sophomores and a “true” freshman, and had six wins over teams that advanced to post season tournaments. During that same time frame 10 of 14 seniors who completed their eligibility earned degrees with fi ve players earning Academic All-Big 12 honors. Miller also served as one of K-State’s top recruiters with the Wildcats having three straight Top 25 recruiting classes as named by Hoop Scoop magazine. The 2002 class was rated No. 1 in the nation. No stranger to building programs, Miller helped revitalize the program at Texas State University (formerly Southwest Texas State) during nine years of association with the program. He started as an assistant in 1991-92 as the Bobcats won only 7 games. The team fi nished above .500 his second year on the staff and went 25-7 in 1993-94 during his third season setting a school record for wins and a spot in the 1994 NCAA Tournament. PLAYER DEVELOPMENT The next season Miller was named the head coach at Texas State becoming the second youngest Division I head coach at the UNDER MIKE MILLER age of 29. Over the next six seasons as the Bobcats head man, Miller won two conference championships in 1997 and 1999 and 22 All-Conference Picks fi nished second in 1998. The 1997 team advanced to the NCAA Tournament by winning the Southland Conference Tournament, 2 Southland Conference Tournament MVP's Miller winning SLC Coach of the Year honors. Six players would earn Academic All-Southland Conference Southland Conference honors during his tenure and in 1999 Jeff Foster would be selected Player Of The Year in the fi rst round of the NBA Draft by the Indiana Pacers. Miller’s teams led the Southland Conference in defense fi ve of six seasons Donte Mathis and ranked third in the NCAA in 1999 allowing opponents to shoot only 37.3 percent from the fl oor. Ohio Valley Conference Miller also has assistant coaching stops at Sam Houston State Freshman of the Year in 1991 and Western Illinois in 1990. Romain Martin (2007) A graduate of Monmouth (Ill.)
