2023 Game Notes

msidemustangs.com

Head Coach: Trent Miller (3rd season) Trent Miller became the program’s 22nd head coach in March 2021.

He’s proven invaluable to the Mustangs’ staff, leading the team to a Great Plains Athletic Conference title in his second season as head coach (2023), for which he was named GPAC Coach of the Year. The Mustangs moved on to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Men’s Basketball Championship First and Second Rounds, winning their bracket to advance to the Round of 16 in Kansas City.

As an assistant, the alumnus helped lead the Mustangs to four straight Great Plains Athletic Conference championships, four successive GPAC postseason tournament appearances, and four consecutive NAIA national tournament appearances, including reaching the Round of Eight in 2019. The program compiled a remarkable 105-20 record during his time as an assistant, and Miller was involved with mentoring three NAIA AllAmericans and eight first team allconference selections.
