Samford University men’s basketball coach Bucky McMillan has been named the new head coach for the team at Texas A&M University.
In his five years as Samford’s head coach, McMillan led the team to four straight 20-win seasons as well as two regular-season Southern Conference championships, a SoCon Tournament Championship and an NCAA Tournament appearance in the 2023-2024 season.
Samford president Beck Taylor said the school would “be forever indebted” to McMillan for “reestablishing the Samford men’s basketball program’s tradition of excellence,” according to a Samford press release.
“Even more than the exciting brand of basketball he brought to Homewood, or the championships won, I will personally be most grateful for the way Bucky represented Samford’s values and Christian mission,” Taylor said. “Our disappointment in losing our head coach is matched only by our desire to see Bucky succeed at the highest levels.”
