Micir '11 Returns As Assistant Coach
May 30, 2018 | Women's Basketball
PRINCETON, N.J. – The Princeton Tigers have brought back one of their own in Addie Micir '11 as an assistant coach, head coach Courtney Banghart announced today.
Â
"First, I want to acknowledge the incredible experience I had at Dartmouth for the past five years," said Micir. "Coach Koclanes gave me my first chance at coaching, and I thought we worked together well and the team got better every year. I'm forever grateful to her, the wonderful people I worked with, and our amazing players. Dartmouth and Hanover will always have a piece of my heart."
Â
"That being said, my heart has been with Princeton since I was in elementary school, and coming home is such an unbelievable joy," mentioned the 2011 Ivy League Player of the Year. "The university and the women's basketball program helped shape me as a young adult, and I'm excited to give back to a place and to the people who have given and continue to give so much to me. It's a dream come true to be back in the Orange and Black and to be on the same team as Coach Banghart and Carrie Moore again. It's great to be a Tiger!"
Â
"Milena's departure is a real loss for Princeton," said Banghart. "She gave her heart and soul to this program and is forever a part of its legacy. You don't replace someone like Milena, rather you find another great fit for where the program is and where you want it to go. To be able to welcome Addie back to Princeton is an absolute homerun. She is a former unanimous conference player of the year, a former team captain, a two-time Ivy League Champion, a member of our first NCAA Tournament team, someone who played all five positions, and she has accumulated five years of valuable coaching experience in this league. Addie's love for the game, her ability to teach it, and her drive to bring the best players to Princeton, will combine so well with her undying love for the orange and black. She will be an unbelievable asset to this program and I'm thrilled to finally be able to call her a teammate."
Micir was hired by Dartmouth in July of 2013 where her responsibilities included recruiting, scouting, wing player development and the academic liaison among many others. She spent the previous two seasons overseas playing in Europe.
While at Princeton, Micir finished with 1,188 points, tied for ninth all-time when she graduated and was three-time All-Ivy player. As a senior captain, she became the first player in program history to be named Ivy League Player of the Year after leading the Tigers to their second conference crown. As a junior, she was part of the program's first ever NCAA Tournament team, winning the outright Ivy title for the first time since 1978.
Micir graduated from Princeton with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and earned a master's degree at Dartmouth.
