Idaho assistant resigns

Angie Miller, a University of Idaho assistant women’s basketball coach since 1994, has resigned, university officials announced. Miller, the mother of a 10-month old child, plans to pursue other interests that will allow her to spend more time with her family.

“I want a change,” said Miller, who is looking at the possibility of a tryout with a WNBA team. “Being a new mom and all that, I want to spend more time with my son.”

Head coach Julie Holt said Miller will be missed. “She helped develop this program,” Holt said of Miller, a former Washington State University player. “She did a real good job with the players. She had a great sense of humor.”
