The latest piece of history in the Butler men’s basketball program has come to an end with the resignation of seven-year assistant and Head Coach Bryan Miller.
In total, his teams were 68-54.
Miller was in a coaching seat for seven years total for the Grizzlies, as he was also an assistant for three years under Mike Bargen, who is now an assistant at Bradley University. Butler went to the Region VI semifinals in Miller’s first two years as head coach. He was 43-48 in the Jayhawk Conference play.
A national search is underway to pick his successor. The salary was posted at $51,000-$82,000 a year.
According to a Butler Athletics press release, Miller’s teams were active in the community, from mentoring grade school students in El Dorado and Circle school districts, offering a free basketball clinic in conjunction with the YMCA and visiting retirement homes and delivering flowers at the local hospital on Valentine’s Day.
“We appreciate Bryan’s efforts and hard work over the past seven years especially in leading our program over the past four seasons,” Athletic Director Todd Carter said in the release. “Butler has a tremendous history and tradition of success in men’s basketball and ultimately, our goal to compete for a championship each season.”
