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 firstclass 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

Jon Miller

Former Hanover standout Jon Miller is in his fourth season as the Panthers’ head coach. He is the 21st coach in Hanover’s basketball history and only the third on the Panthers’ bench since 1965.

Miller’s first three seasons have been marked by the program’s return to its traditionally high standards. the overall win total has increased each season, moving from nine wins in 2008/09 to 19 wins in 2010/11.

the same can be said of the team’s performance in Heartland Collegiate athletic Conference action as the Panthers improved from six conference wins in his first season to 14 this past year. In addition to the increased win totals, Miller’s team this past season earned the program’s first bid to the nCaa tournament since the 2004/05 campaign.

Miller, a 1997 Hanover graduate, returned to his alma mater after five seasons as the head coach at Defiance College (ohio). He guided the Yellow Jackets to a 19-8 overall record in 2007/08, including the school’s first outright Heartland Collegiate athletic Conference championship (13-3). the national association of Basketball Coaches’ Midwest District named him coach of the year, as did the Heartland Conference, for the accomplishment.

Miller’s squads posted a 67-63 record during his stint at Defiance, including a 3617 record through his last two seasons with the program.

He was a four-year starter and three-time all-conference selection at Hanover during the mid-1990s. voted the team’s most valuable player after the 1996/97 campaign, Miller helped the Panthers earn nCaa tourney appearances in both 1995 and 1996.

a two-time team captain, he was a three-year recipient of the Hanover scholar-athlete award and the College honored him as outstanding senior athlete in 1997. 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 19971999. He then joined Hanover’s staff as an assistant in 1999.

While on the Panthers’ sidelines, he helped the program earn three consecutive Heartland Conference championships and three berths in the nCaa III national tournament. the program notched a 78-10 record during that span.

He and his wife, angela, a 1997 Hanover graduate, reside in Madison, Ind., with their children luke, Jack and audrey.

He previously served as an assistant under Miller at Defiance College (ohio) from 2003-2007. Cutter also served as an assistant coach at ohio Wesleyan University during the 2008/09 season.

In addition to working numerous basketball camps in the region and on the West Coast, Cutter has served as director of the greater Columbus (ohio) Basketball Camp and was associate director of the summer camp at Defiance. He also has worked camps at stanford University (Calif.), gonzaga University (Wash.), University of Cincinnati (ohio), Xavier University (ohio) and Miami University (ohio).

brady Wells - Assistant Coach

veteran high school coach Brady Wells is in his forth season with Hanover’s program. Coming on board with Jon Miller in the spring of 2008, Wells’ primary duties include practice, game preparation and in-season recruiting.

He is a 1983 Hanover graduate who coached the boys’ basketball teams at salem and scottsburg High schools from 1998-2008. He guided those programs to a combined 234-130 record, including five conference titles, four sectional championships, a regional crown and two appearances in the elite eight.
