Director: Mark Miller

Coach Mark Miller is actively involved in all training sessions for each NRBA student. In addition, Coach Miller relies upon staff members to assist him who are trained and qualified to teach, challenge, motivate and encourage students to reach their full potential.

Coach Miller's Bio:
Coach Miller currently serves as Director of Sport’s Outreach for North Ridge Church in Raleigh, NC. He is also Founder and Director of North Ridge Basketball Academy. Coach Miller is highly respected as a clinician, camp director and motivational speaker. His knowledge of the game of basketball and his ability to teach the fundamentals are tremendous strengths. Throughout Coach Miller's career, many of his former players/students have gone on to sign college scholarships and to play professionally, but his main focus has always remained the same: to use the game of basketball as a training ground in helping young people develop the skills necessary, on and off the court, to be successful in life.

Coach Miller began his coaching career as the Junior Varsity Coach at Wheeler High School in Marietta, GA, a large 4A public school in metro Atlanta. After posting an impressive two-year JV record of
25-7, Coach Miller, at age 24, was elevated to the Head Varsity position. He would go on to direct the Wheeler Program for the next seven years. During his last four seasons, Miller's teams posted an outstanding 74-30 overall record. His 1991 team advanced to the quarterfinals of the Georgia Class 4A State Championships.

After Wheeler, Coach Miller entered the collegiate ranks with stops as an Assistant Coach at Tennessee Temple University in Chattanooga, TN and Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. In 1992, TN Temple University captured the NCCAA District 2 Championship. In 1993, with Miller joining the staff, Liberty's recruiting class was ranked #1 in the Big South Conference by Bob Gibbons of the All-Star Sports Report. In 1994, Liberty won the Big South Conference Championship earning an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. In the East Regional, Liberty faced #1 seed North Carolina and legendary coach Dean Smith.

Following Liberty, Coach Miller decided to return to the high school ranks to spend more time with his family. In 1995, he took over the reins of the basketball program at Ravenscroft School in Raleigh, NC. Ravenscroft had suffered through 14 consecutive losing seasons prior to Miller's arrival. Under Miller's leadership, Ravenscroft won back-to-back TISAC Championships and was a 4-time state independent playoff qualifier and 3-time playoff quarterfinalist.

Beginning in 1997, while at Ravenscroft, Coach Miller helped establish and began directing Hoop Heaven Basketball Camp which would become a very successful summer camping and urban outreach program, based in New York City. Coach Miller guided and directed the growing Hoop Heaven program on a full-time basis from 2000-2004. He also began traveling overseas conducting basketball camps and clinics in the Philippines, Bhutan and Kosovo.

In 2004, Coach Miller founded MINA Ministries, and began to invest his time in the personal development of men and women as a personnel consultant and life coach. With the opening of the North Ridge Basketball Academy in 2009, Coach Miller returns his focus to the game of basketball and to his vision of providing a program where first class basketball instruction is combined with personal character development so that young people can truly reach their full potential. Coach Miller is a member of the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) and is a lifetime member of the Cambridge Who's Who Registry of Executives, Professionals and Entrepreneurs. He lives in Raleigh, NC with his wife, Tamra and three sons Dustin, Nathan and Luke.

He was also a 3-time All-Conference selection and 3-time North Raleigh Christian Academy MVP. He is currently NRCA's all-time leading scorer finishing his high school career with over 1,300 points, 350 assists, and 250 steals. Nathan also graduated with a 4.0 GPA and garnered many academic awards as well.

In April 2009, Nathan signed a letter of intent to continue his athletic and academic career at Southern Wesleyan University. SWU is located in Central, SC and competes in the highly competitive NAIA Division 1 Southern States Athletic Conference (SSAC). Nathan's college coach, Coach Wimphrie, summed up his abilities in this statement: “Nate is a prolific scorer with deep range and accuracy. He has excellent ball-handling skills along with great court vision and passing ability. I anticipate Nate competing for a starting position as a freshman. My goal is to find more student athletes like Nate Miller who embraces our mission here at Southern Wesleyan University.”

As a freshman, Nathan was named to the Southern States Athletic Conference (SSAC) All-Freshmen Team and was the starting point guard on a much improved SWU team. Nathan led his team in assists, and was one of the finest 3 point shooters in the SSAC and the NAIA at over 43%. Nathan was also named to the Dean's List his first two semesters at SWU. As a sophomore, Nathan was named a Captain and his leadership on and off the court were instrumental in SWU's return to winning success. He again led SWU in assists and continued his reputation as an accurate shooter and scoring threat. He was also the team’s recipient of the prestigious NAIA Champion of Character Award, and was named an NAIA/SSAC Academic All-American. As a junior, Nate's season was cut short due to a season ending knee injury. At the time of his injury, the Warriors were 7-2 and heading toward one of the most successful seasons in recent SWU history. Nate's leadership, shooting accuracy, and 14 point scoring average were critical to the team's success. With Nate sidelined, the Warriors struggled to find a winning chemistry and ended with only 9 wins for the season. Nate continued his commitment to excellence in the classroom and was again named an NAIA/SSAC Academic All-American. Following surgery and a lengthy rehabilitation process, Nate has worked hard in preparation for his senior season. "We are so proud of Nate. He is a warrior in every respect. He is an example to all our students of a young man committed to excellence on the court, in the classroom and as a follower of Jesus Christ." Coach Miller

Nathan honed his skills growing up a coach's son, spending his summers participating in camps across the country, and at Hoop Heaven Camp in New York, competing against outstanding athletes and players. From that experience, he developed an incredible fundamental foundation in the game, an unparalleled work ethic, and a passionate competitive spirit that continues to drive him toward success. In addition, Nathan's ability to teach and communicate the game at a high level has become a tremendous strength that others are taking note of.

Luke was a member of the Varsity Basketball Team at North Raleigh Christian Academy since his freshmen year. In the 2007-08 and 2008-09 seasons, Luke had the opportunity to play with his older brother Nathan. Together they formed a solid backcourt for the Knights.

As a senior, Luke was instrumental in leading his team, again as Captain, to a school record 18 wins and a second consecutive trip to the state tournament. He averaged 15 points, and 3 assists/game while shooting almost 45% from behind the 3 point arc for the season. Luke was also honored as the 2011 Coach’s Award recipient for the Knights with the coaches citing his work ethic, leadership and mentorship as key factors in the team’s success. He is respected as an unselfish player, a fundamentally sound competitor, an excellent decision maker and an outstanding shooter. Luke was also a high school honor student carrying a 4.0 GPA.

In April 2011, Luke signed a letter of intent to continue his athletic and academic career at Emmanuel College. Emmanuel is located in Franklin Springs, GA and competes in the highly competitive NAIA Division 1 Southern States Athletic Conference (SSAC).

Luke was also recognized for his work in the classroom being named to the Dean's List both semesters. "We are incredibly proud of Luke's accomplishments this past year. He is an example to all our students of how hard work prepares you for success in every area of life." Coach Miller
