"I am thrilled that Lindsay will be joining our staff at Campbell!" said Fisher. "Lindsay was a tremendous player and is a true competitor. She does a great job with individual player development and understands the level and intensity that it takes to compete at the highest level. Most importantly, she is a wonderful person who will provide a great positive influence for our young ladies."
Miller joins the Lady Camel staff after spending the last three seasons as an assistant coach for the Presbyterian men's basketball team. He assisted with all elements of the program including recruiting and scouting while also monitoring student-athlete progress rates.
"Campbell is a prestigious institution and my family and I are so thrilled to become a part of it," said Miller.

"I am excited that Pierre has chosen to join our coaching staff her at CU!" said Fisher. "I was fortunate to recruit and coach Pierre as a student-athlete a few years back. He is a high energy coach who does a tremendous job of conveying his passion to players. He and his wife, Maurissa, have a wonderful family and they will be great additions to the Campbell community."
Hall will be entering her 12th season on the Campbell staff after serving the past 11 seasons under 35-year head coach Wanda Watkins. She has been on the bench for 156 Lady Camel victories and has coached 13 all-conference players and mentored 58 all-academic team selections. Hall played a key role in Campbell's 2009 recruiting class that ranked as one of the top 150 classes in the country and featured Lady Camel standouts Tonisha Baker, Jasmine Cooper and Monique Spry.
Surguine will be entering his second season at Campbell after serving as a special assistant last year. He will have added emphasis on player development and video scouting in the upcoming campaign. Surguine spent one season as director of operations at Mount St. Mary's before coming to CU after serving as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Lancaster Bible College.
"I am proud to announce that Coach Hall and Coach Surguine will remain on staff here at Campbell. They have a vast understanding of what Campbell is all about and they provide continuity for the program, and that is an invaluable asset. Megan brings a wealth of experience and she has a love for CU that simply shines through. She is a tireless worker and a tremendous recruiter as well. Adam is a very talented young coach who has the knowledge and a unique skill set that I believe will be vital for our program. They are both terrific additions to our staff."
Campbell is coming off a 13-18 campaign and will open the 2016-17 season in November.
