Head Coach Brian Miller
Brian Miller becomes the first MSOE men's basketball head coach with experience as a collegiate head coach, a measure of the program's escalation. Prior to his career at Concordia-Illinois, Miller also garnered experience coaching in the Lake Michigan Conference while at Lakeland College from 1994-99. He helped lead the Muskies to a regular-season conference championship and two tournament championships during his tenure, including the 1993-94 season when his team advanced to the NAIA Nationals.
The newest Raider will also bring a wealth of experience to the athletic department off the court, serving in his dual role as the assistant athletic director. Miller worked as the associate athletic director aside from his coaching post at Concordia-River Forest. He also served as the president of the Northern Illinois and Iowa Conference in 2003-04.
"It is a privilege to be hired as both the head coach and assistant athletic director at a place such as MSOE," Miller said. "It is my hope to build upon the solid foundation that Coach Good and his staff established over the past nine years. With the tremendous growth the athletic department has made and the addition of the Kern Center, this program is in a great position to be successful."
Miller received his bachelor of science in education from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and his master's degree at Lakeland College. He spent four years teaching social studies and coaching at Loyal High School in Wisconsin before working as an admissions counselor at Lakeland from 1992-94.
