From Hall of Honor press release dated May 14, 1986:

Eldon Miller, a 1961 graduate with a master's degree earned in 1964, was the MVP in basketball his senior year, leading the Tigers to the NCAA College-Division championship when there were only two divisions in the college game. After one year as assistant coach of the TIgers, he was named head coach when Ray Mears went to Tennessee. As the youngest head coach in college basketball, the 23-year old Miller led Wittenberg to the runer-up spot in the NCAA national tournament after the Tigers were ranked number one all year in both wire service polls.

In eight years, his Wittenberg teams won 142 games and lost 55, capturing five OAC regular season and four OAC tournament titles. in 1970, he went to Western Michigan, where six years later his team won the MAC championship and established a conference record of 19 straight wins that still stands. in 1976, Miller went to Ohio State and in 10 years his Buckeyes won 176 games and lost 118. OSU played four times in the NCAA tournament and three times in the NIT. His last squad captured the 1986 NIT title. Miller is now head basketball coach at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls.
