Miller Time (eBook)

The previously untold story of the patriarch of one of the first families of hoops.

---

Arizona. Kentucky. Indiana. It's astounding to think that three elite college basketball programs can trace their success back to one small-town high school coach, Blackhawk High's legendary John Miller. Coach John Miller was just following his heart's passion and channeling his unbreakable spirit when in the early 1970s he began to use basketball as a platform for developing young players and future leaders. Little could he have known that his two sons, Sean and Archie Miller, and their cousin, John Calipari, would grow up to lead historic basketball programs to national prominence. And over his career, he also inspired countless other young players, who would grow up to become doctors, lawyers, and prominent CEOs. At his retirement in 2005, Coach Miller's record stood at 657280 over his thirty-five-year career, making him one of the winningest coaches in high school basketball history. Today, Coach Miller's legacy extends from the tiny hamlet of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, to some of the most famous sporting venues in America. He is a legend in the sport, praised by greats such as Kobe Bryant, Thad Matta, Bucky Waters, and Jamie Dixon. Filled with original photos and behind-the-scenes stories, Miller Time is for every hardwood aficionado.
