Men's Basketball

Micah Mills, who emerged from a national search as the top candidate in the summer of 2022, enters his second year as head men's basketball coach at Wilmington College in 2023-24.

Mills spent the previous seven years with the WC men's basketball program including the last four as associate head coach. During his first four years with the program, the Fightin' Quakers improved their wins total every single year culminating with the 2018-19 campaign that saw Wilmington come within a single game of its first OAC regular season title. During that year, WC was regionally-ranked and finished with a 17-8 overall record and a 13-5 mark in conference games, tied for the most OAC wins in a single season in school history.

Ten Quakers have earned All-OAC honors during Mills' tenure including First Team selections of Jeffery Mansfield (twice) and DaeShawn Jackson. Two individuals during that time – Mansfield and Christian Jones – scored over 1,000 career points.

While at WC off of the basketball court, Coach Mills has aided in multi-cultural recruitment for the office of admission, been a professor for several courses, overseen the college's intramural program and served as the Assistant Director of Athletics.

Alongside his duties at Wilmington, Mills serves as a director for Point Guard College (PGC) Basketball, an organization aimed at inspiring and equipping every player and coach for success both on and off the court. He's been in this role for nearly a decade.

Prior to Wilmington, Mills served as an assistant coach at fellow OAC member Otterbein University for three seasons. He also spent time in Parkersburg, West Virginia, teaching and coaching high school basketball.

A native of Dover, Ohio, Mills attended Ohio Valley University in West Virginia where he was four-year letterman for the Fighting Scots basketball team. During his career Mills was a four-year letterman, as well as a three-time captain for the Fighting Scots. He finished his career as the program's all-time leader in assists and free-throw percentage. Mills earned a bachelor's degree in education from Ohio Valley and holds a master's degree in allied health sports science from Otterbein.

Mills resides in Wilmington.
