Bio:
Drew Miller was
officially named head
coach for Schreiner
University's Men's
Basketball program on
April 25, 2007. He
begins his second season
at the helm of the
Mountaineers program
after completing a
highly successful
three-year stint as
Assistant Coach under
head coach Pat
Cunningham at Trinity
University (NCAA III-
TX). During that time,
Trinity won 61 games (30
wins in the SCAC), two
SCAC championships and
made two trips to the
NCAA Tournament. The
Tigers were very young
in 2006-07, but featured
a strong sophomore
recruiting class that
logged the bulk of the
team's minutes and were
the team's statistical
leaders and were
Miller's first recruits
for Trinity. The
2006-07 team still
qualified for the SCAC
Tournament and knocked
off #1-seeded DePauw in the SCAC
semi-finals before
losing in the
championship game.
Prior to his time at
Trinity, Miller served
as Assistant Coach at
Southwestern University
(NCAA III - TX) under
head coach Bill Raleigh
for one season. He has
been an NCAA Division
III head coach
(Lynchburg College, VA;
2002-03) and has was a
player/coach in
Denmark. He also was an
Assistant Coach at Hiram
College (NCAA III - OH)
for two seasons and
continues has also
worked for the Hoops 4
Hope Foundation since
1999.
Miller was a four-year
starter at Kenyon
College (NCAA III - OH)
in both basketball and
baseball. In his final
two years at Kenyon, he
led the team to 47 wins
and two NCAA Tournament
appearances. The 1995
team reached the "Sweet
16". He has a Masters
degree (Education:
Sports Science) from the
