Molly Miller, 39, has agreed to join ASU as its next Head Coach of the Women’s Basketball Program.
ASU has hired a proven winner in Miller who guided Grand Canyon University to a 32-3 record this season which included a 30-game winning streak and GCU’s first berth in the NCAA Women’s Tournament.
“We are excited to have Coach Miller join us and restore women’s basketball to national prominence,” ASU President Michael Crow said. “For us, it is about attaining the highest level of competition possible with high achieving student athletes.”
Miller went 117-38 (.760) at GCU, and overall is 297-55 (.845) at the collegiate level that also included 180 wins in six seasons at her alma mater (Drury), where she also served as an assistant coach and was a four-year letter winner.
“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Coach Molly Miller to the Sun Devil family. Molly’s track record of excellence — both on and off the court — aligns seamlessly with our vision for ASU women’s basketball,” said ASU Athletics Director, Graham Rossini. “She has built winning cultures at every level, from her days as a high school state champion and valedictorian to becoming one of the most exciting and sought-after coaches in Division I basketball.”
Miller, who was the most sought after mid-major coach in America with numerous SEC Universities and others seeking her services stated:
“I am incredibly excited and grateful to be named the Head Women’s Basketball Coach at Arizona State University,” Miller said. “I want to express my sincere appreciation to President Dr. Michael Crow and Athletics Director Graham Rossini for their belief and trust in me. Their vision for the program’s future aligns perfectly with my own, and I am eager to work alongside them to build a championship-caliber team both on and off the court. The comprehensive resources, clear commitment to women’s basketball, and compelling vision for the program’s future at ASU truly made this opportunity stand out. I can’t wait to start working with our dedicated student-athletes and staff to build a successful and thriving program that the Sun Devil community can be proud of.”
Molly and her husband, Derek have two children, Crosby and Cy.
