Nyere Miller, who had a combined seven-year run for Widener as a player and an assistant coach, has been named men's basketball coach at Salem Community College.
Miller was a major reason why Widener won three Commonwealth Conference titles and competed in the NCAA Tournament all four years from 2006-09. He finished second in school history with 257 steals and holds two of the top three single-season marks, including a team-record 92 in 2007-08. A tremendous leader and great teammate, his guidance as a captain helped him to be named MVP of the 2008 conference tournament. Miller averaged 9.1 points per game in 2008-09 after averaging a career-best 12.3 points in 2007-08.
As an assistant coach for three years, the Washington, DC native and Gonzaga College High School graduate helped the Pride last season close 18-8 and finish second in the conference. This helped Widener secure its first home game in the conference tournament since his senior year in 2009.
