Miller, one of the top women's basketball coaches in BGSU and Mid-American Conference history, has enjoyed success at the collegiate, professional and international levels. Currently the Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Dallas Wings of the WNBA, Miller had head-coaching stints at Indiana University at the college level and with the Connecticut Sun and Los Angeles Sparks of the WNBA.
While at BGSU from 2001-12, Miller guided the Falcons to an overall mark of 258-92 and a MAC record of 135-4.
