Rider University first-year head coach Lynn Milligan named John Miller as assistant coach on June 15, 2007. 

“I am thrilled to add John to our staff,” said Milligan, who returned to her alma mater in April as Rider’s 19th women’s basketball head coach.  “He is a young, energetic, hard working coach who has a love for the game.”

Miller comes to Rider from Mount St. Mary’s University, where he served as an assistant coach last season.  Miller graduated from Mount St. Mary’s in 2006 with a degree in Business and a minor in Communication. Last season he was responsible for weight training and physical fitness sessions, helping out with daily practices, handling video tape exchange with opponents and monitored study halls.

“I am very honored to be here at Rider,” said Miller, who played two years on the Mountaineer varsity golf team. “Coach Milligan is a great coach and a great person, and I hope to learn from her and help in building a strong program.”

Miller joins Pam Durkin (Rider ’97) and Rashana Barnes (Penn State ’02) on the Rider staff. “Along with Pam and Rashana, John will be a huge asset to the Rider basketball family,” Milligan said.
