Miller adds Manigat to coaching staff
MBB: The former Creighton Bluejay will be Murray State's Director of Player Personnel
Head Coach Ryan Miller has announced the hiring of Jahenns Manigat as Murray State’s new Director of Player Personnel.
"We are excited to welcome Jahenns Manigat as our Director of Player Personnel for the Murray State Racers," Miller said in a statement. "As a captain for Creighton, where he helped secure an MVC regular season championship and two MVC tournament titles, Jahenns brings a proven championship pedigree. His professional playing experience and recent role as a graduate assistant with the Bluejays equip him with deep basketball knowledge and passion. Jahenns' leadership, work ethic, and ability to connect with players will be crucial as we strengthen our championship culture at Murray State."
Manigat started in 122 games for Creighton from 2010-14, playing his first three seasons in the Missouri Valley Conference. After his college days were over, Manigat embarked on a ten-year professional career that took him to Austria, Canada, Cyprus, Kosovo, Germany, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland and Romania.
"I'm grateful to be a part of this amazing staff and players that we have here at Murray State and many thanks to Coach Miller for this opportunity," Manigat added in a statement. “I'm looking forward to using my experiences as a player in The Valley to help coach our team to the goals we are trying to achieve!"
After completing his professional career, Manigat returned to Creighton for the 2024-25 season, where he worked alongside Miller, as a graduate assistant under Head Coach Greg McDermott.
Manigat and the Racers will open the 2025-26 season on November 3rd, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, against Omaha in The Field of 68’s Opening Day Marathon.
