Milligan resigns at Trinity Baptist

Pat Milligan, who has coached more winning games than all other Trinity Baptist College athletic coaches combined, stepped down Thursday as head coach of the TBC Men’s Basketball Program. He will remain on staff as the Associate Athletic Director, and will become the Founding Director of the Trinity Athletic Leadership Institute. In addition, Coach Milligan will continue to assist the basketball program by leading TBC’s continued involvement in the Bible College NIT. He will oversee the development of the NIT team, which will serve as a feeder program for the NCCAA team, while competing for the annual Bible College NIT championship.

TBC Athletic Director and current assistant coach, John D. Jones will take over for Milligan, who will become head coach emeritus of the Eagle basketball program.

Milligan will continue to serve the athletic program in his new role, while assisting the program he guided to three Bible College NIT titles since taking over in 1995. His TBC record currently stands at 299-238, and his career record is an impressive 807-439.

Trinity said that Milligan’s responsibilities will include leading the new NIT team, assisting with the development of new sports, helping with recruiting and game scheduling, advising the NCCAA South Region on men’s basketball issues, and mentoring TBC team captains in leadership skills through the Trinity Athletic Leadership Institute.
