Millar, probably the most decorated player in Cougar history including three first-team All-America selections and the 1999 Player of the Year award during his time in Provo from 1996-99, holds a lot of school records but is in the process of transferring what he learned from playing under a number of great coaches at BYU and on the Olympic team to the current Cougar squad.

“As a player it is more individualistic,” Millar said. “What I got out of playing was entirely up to me. The coaches are going to teach me about the things that they think are the right way to play volleyball, but when it comes down to it I am the one that determined how much work I would put forth into play, how much advice I take and use in my game, and as a coach, you are more as a teacher role and more of a motivator role. It is an interesting dynamic that I really like to dissect and look at. I like to take the things that make me a good player and make those things help me be a good coach.
