Wes Miller

by Blake Cockrum

Wes Miller played basketball for one year at James Madison before transferring to North Carolina after his freshman season. He redshirted for North Carolina during the 2003-04 season prior to making 24 appearances for the Tar Heels during their 2004-05 national championship season.

He started 16 of his 31 games the following year, averaging career-bests in points (7.2), assists (1.9), rebounds (1.4), shooting percentage (43.8) and three-point shooting percentage (44.1). He also played a career-high 22.9 minutes per game that season, and was one of the main reasons that a young North Carolina squad, led by freshman forward Tyler Hansbrough, had as much success as it did following the loss of Raymond Felton, Rashad McCants and Sean May.

Miller is the current head coach at UNC Greensboro, and could be in line to take over the vacant coaching job in Chapel Hill. He has seen success in his current position, putting together a record of 182-134 in 10 seasons with the program. That includes no less than 21 victories in each of the last five seasons, and four first-place finishes in the Southern Conference since 2012.
