Kent Miller is now in his seventh season as an assistant to head coach Chrissy Roberts.

Miller works with the team's guards. He is also in charge of recruiting, scheduling and equipment.

The Harrisburg, Pa. native has helped lead the Colonels to 35 wins over the last two seasons. In 2013-14, he played a role in guiding EKU to the semifinals of the OVC Tournament for the first time in nine years.

Miller was also an integral factor in leading EKU to an 18-12 record in 2012-13 and to a berth in the Women's Basketball Invitational (WBI), the Colonels' first national tournament appearance since they won the OVC and played in the NCAA Tournament in 2004-05.

In the summer of 2008, Miller joined the Colonel coaching staff for the second time. Miller spent five seasons (1994-99) as an assistant to former Colonel head coach Larry Joe Inman. In his first stint, Miller helped EKU claim three Ohio Valley Conference regular season championships in a four-year period.

He was part of the staff that led the Colonels to their first-ever OVC title in 1995 and led Eastern to its first-ever OVC tournament championship and NCAA tournament appearance in 1997.

Miller left EKU to be the head girls’ basketball coach at Madison Central High School. From 1999 to 2005, Miller led the Indians to four district titles in six seasons. His 2001-02 squad captured a second straight 44th District championship and advanced to the finals of the 11th Region tournament. He compiled a 92-76 record at MCHS.

In 2005, Miller began a two-year stint as the boys’ basketball coach at Model Laboratory School. Miller’s 2006-07 team finished as the runner-up in the district tournament and earned a spot in the region tourney. He served as an assistant with the men’s team at Georgetown College during the 2007-08 season, helping the Tigers to an undefeated regular season, a No. 1 ranking in the NAIA and a trip to the final four.

Before starting his first stint as an assistant at EKU, Miller spent nine seasons as the head junior varsity and assistant varsity boys’ basketball coach at Bryan Station High School in Lexington. Miller worked under former Colonel and EKU Athletics Hall of Fame member Bobby Washington at BSHS.

Miller earned two bachelor’s degrees from EKU. The first, in police administration, came in 1981 and the second, in education, was earned in 1985. In 1991, he completed his master’s degree at Eastern in education with an emphasis in school health. Miller spent the 1984-85 season as a manager for the Colonel men’s basketball team under former head coach Max Good.
