BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Bucky McMillan, the energetic and unconventional head coach of Samford University’s men’s basketball team, is making waves in college basketball with his high-octane, fast-paced system. Known for his relentless pressing defense and explosive offense, McMillan has transformed Samford into a must-watch program, earning national attention and putting the Southern Conference on the map.
From High School Phenom to College Innovator
Before taking over at Samford in 2020, McMillan was a legendary high school coach at Mountain Brook (Ala.), where he won multiple state championships and developed a reputation for his aggressive, entertaining style of play. His success at the prep level earned him the nickname 'The Mad Scientist' for his unorthodox strategies and willingness to push the tempo.
Since arriving at Samford, McMillan has implemented his signature 'Bucky Ball' approach—a full-court pressing system that forces turnovers and leads to rapid-fire three-pointers and transition dunks. In just a few seasons, he has turned the Bulldogs into one of the highest-scoring teams in the nation, consistently ranking near the top in pace of play.
Breaking Through in March
The 2023-24 season marked a turning point for McMillan’s squad. Samford won the Southern Conference regular-season title and earned an NCAA Tournament berth, where they nearly upset Kansas in a thrilling first-round game. Though the Bulldogs fell short, their fearless style won over fans and analysts, with many praising McMillan’s creativity and player development.
'Bucky’s system is unlike anything else in college basketball,' said ESPN analyst Jay Bilas. 'He’s proving that you don’t have to be at a Power 5 school to play an exciting, winning brand of basketball.'
The Future of Bucky Ball
With several key players returning and a top-tier recruiting class coming in, Samford is poised to be a mid-major powerhouse again in 2024-25. McMillan’s success has also sparked speculation about potential opportunities at larger programs, though he has repeatedly expressed his commitment to building something special in Birmingham.
'We’re just getting started,' McMillan said in a recent press conference. 'Our goal isn’t just to make the tournament—it’s to change how people think about mid-major basketball.'
As the sport continues to evolve, Bucky McMillan stands out as one of its most forward-thinking coaches. Whether he stays at Samford or eventually moves to a bigger stage, his impact on the game is undeniable—and 'Bucky Ball' is here to stay.
