Master P‘s basketball dream continues as it was announce that the mogul will be the new president of University of New Orleans‘ basketball operations. A former college player and longtime coach, he has spent two decades mentoring young athletes.
His AAU team, P. Miller’s Ballers, secured three national championships, and he has coached future NBA stars like DeMar DeRozan, Brandon Jennings, Lance Stephenson, and Jalen Suggs. Now, Miller takes on a new challenge as the New Orleans men’s basketball team names him President of Basketball Operations.
“This is an exciting day for New Orleans Privateers basketball,” said head coach Stacy Hollowell. “Coach Percy Miller’s deep connection to this city, the University of New Orleans, and our program makes him an invaluable addition. His knowledge of the game and relationships in basketball and the community will be a tremendous asset.”
For Miller, the role is personal. “Basketball changed and saved my life,” he said. “Bringing back a winning tradition to NOLA’s Team is my priority, but it’s bigger than the game. It’s about education, leadership, and making sure these student-athletes have the resources and mentorship to succeed on and off the court. UNO is our culture, our community, and our family. It’s time to restore the love and passion for New Orleans basketball.”
Despite his towering success in music, Master P finds his greatest fulfillment in guiding young athletes and giving back. His goal is to uplift the next generation, both in sports and in life.
As founder and chairman of Team Hope Foundation, he remains committed to supporting youth and the elderly through programs that improve their quality of life.
