WHITE PLAINS - Westchester Knicks head coach Mike Miller has been named the first-ever NBA Development League Coach of the Month for games played in November.

Miller guided Westchester to a 6-0 record, making the Knicks the only undefeated team in the NBA D-League. The perfect mark comes despite having Jimmer Fredette, the Knicks' first overall pick in the 2015 NBA D-League Draft, receive a GATORADE Call-Up from the New Orleans Pelicans two days before New York's season opener, and losing DaJuan Summers, the NBA D-League Performer of the Week for Nov. 12-22, to a season-ending injury after three games. Miller's Knicks held opponents to 88.2 points per game, highlighted by an 83-79 win over the Erie BayHawks on Nov. 14 and an 85-78 win over the Idaho Stampede on Nov. 24.

Miller, a first-time head coach, joined Westchester after spending the last two seasons as an assistant coach with the Austin Spurs, the NBA Development League affiliate of the San Antonio Spurs. Austin went 32-18 in the 2014-15 season and won the Southwestern Division title. Before the NBA D-League, Miller served as an assistant coach at UC Riverside (2012-13 season), head coach at Eastern Illinois (2005-2012) and an assistant coach at Kansas State (2000-2005).

The Westchester Knicks take on the Fort Wayne Mad Ants today for an 11:00 a.m. matinee match-up at the Westchester County Center. Fans can catch the game on MSG+ or the NBA D-League's YouTube channel: youtube.com/nbadleague.
