I’ll just put this here since PM coaches the most visible sport; obviously could be posted in several places…
“The new hires bring different backgrounds.
Mills started as a high school coach and came up through the Scott Drew coaching tree at Baylor. He spent six seasons building his program at Oral Roberts. Nooner played men's basketball at Kansas and worked as a women's assistant there and at Texas, Maryland, Alabama and Southern Illinois.
Green is at his third stop as a head coach after four seasons at Washington State and five at New Mexico State.
What is similar is the three men's reputation for building relationships. Mills, Nooner and Green are all described as people who connect and serve their athletes. In an unpredictable and changing world of college athletics, those attributes are one way to recruit and retain.
"The student-athlete walks away knowing the coach has their best interests at heart, knowing that coach cares for them at a genuine and authentic level," director of athletics Kevin Saal said in August. "You have to coach the person first. We need connectors. We need leaders of people. Relational folks that can have the hard conversations and do it in such a way where it is a family atmosphere and it's genuine."”
