Washington Bayhawks Name Hiller General Manager
Washington, DC (Dec 12, 2007) - The Washington Bayhawks of Major League Lacrosse announced today that Scott Hiller will become general manager of the team and relinquish his head coaching duties. A new head coach will be announced by the end of the year.
"I have greatly enjoyed my time as a head coach in Major League Lacrosse but the time has come to move on from the sideline," said Hiller. "The GM position will allow me to focus much more on player personnel and player development."
Hiller leaves as the all-time leader in MLL regular season coaching wins with 41. He spent his first four seasons as head coach in Boston and earned the MLL Warrior Coach of the Year honors in both 2005 and 2002. He is still the only two-time winner of the award and he led the Cannons to the playoffs all four years. He took over the reins with the Bayhawks in time for the 2006 season and went 9-15 in two seasons.
"Scott has built a young and talented team," said Bayhawks Co-Owner and President Jeffrey Harvey. "As GM he will continue to transform the Bayhawks into a championship-contending team."
Hiller is a graduate of the University of Massachusetts and was a four-time All-American selection for the Minutemen and played on the 1994 United States World Team. He is licensed to practice law in Massachusetts and Illinois and is currently an Associate with Bollinger, Ruberry and Garvey in Chicago, Illinois. Hiller received his Bachelor's Degree from Massachusetts along with a JD from Suffolk University.
The Bayhawks have begun a nationwide search and will announce a new head coach within the next two weeks.
