HANOVER COLLEGE
Hanover BasketBall
A NOTE FROM COACH MILLER
For the past half-century, Hanover College has enjoyed a proud and storied basketball tradition; one made possible by the hardwork and tireless efforts of many players, coaches and administrators. From 1966-2008, head coaches John Collier and Mike Beitzel together averaged more than 18 wins per season. Our basketball staff is fully committed to continuing to build upon the accomplishments of the past. In doing so, we pledge to maintain a first-class program.
It is our goal every year to put a fundamentally-sound, competitive team on the floor that represents the college well in their actions, attitude and playing ability. We want to put young men in uniform
who the entire college community can be proud of as outstanding students, talented athletes and good people.
While a great deal of significance is placed on winning in today’s world of athletics, we define our success as a program not only in terms of wins and losses on the court, but by the success our players enjoy once their playing days have passed.
Whether you are reading this guide as a fan, alum or a potential future player, we take great pride in what has been accomplished at Hanover. We look forward to the great things our program can achieve in the years to come.
Sincerely,
Head Coach Jon Miller

the Panthers have posted three consecutive second-place finishes in the HCaC final standings and, in 2010/11, earned the program’s first bid to the nCaa tournament since the 2004/05 campaign.

In addition to basketball, Miller also played four years of baseball while at Hanover, earning the team’s most valuable player award in 1996.
Following his collegiate playing career, Miller served as the top assistant for DePauw University’s basketball team from 1997-1999. He then joined Hanover’s staff as an assistant in 1999.
