Charlotte Hires Wes Miller as Men's Basketball Coach Charlotte has officially hired Wes Miller as its new men’s basketball coach, the university announced Monday. According to sources, Miller has agreed to a five-year contract, marking a significant move for the program. The decision comes after Miller was recently dismissed as head coach at Cincinnati, where he led the Bearcats for five seasons. Miller’s coaching career spans 15 years, including stints at Cincinnati and UNC Greensboro. During his tenure at Cincinnati, he guided the team to two NCAA tournament appearances but failed to secure a bid in his final five seasons. Despite winning 20 games in two consecutive seasons (2022-23 and 2023-24), the Bearcats finished each of the past four years on the bubble, with Miller ending the 2024 season with a 9-9 record in Big 12 play. Before joining Cincinnati in 2021, Miller spent 10 seasons at UNC Greensboro, compiling an overall record of 185-135. His final five years at the school were particularly successful, with a 125-43 mark, three Southern Conference regular-season titles, and two NCAA tournament appearances. These achievements solidified his reputation as one of the top mid-major coaches in the country. Athletic director Kevin White praised Miller’s hiring, emphasizing his leadership, basketball acumen, and commitment to building a championship culture at Charlotte. “Throughout this process, what stood out most was his passion, competitive energy, and clear vision for building a championship culture here at Charlotte,” White stated. Miller, who is the son of Kenneth D. Miller—whose name is associated with Wake Forest’s athletic facilities—has deep ties to North Carolina basketball.#cincinnati_bearcats #wes_miller #unc_greensboro #charlotte_university #aaron_fearne
