Wes Miller is in his sixth season as the UNCG men’s basketball coach in 2016-17 after taking over the reins of the program in December of 2011 on an interim basis. Miller has spent his first five years building a championship-mentality throughout the program and has laid the groundwork for future success.
Miller signed a two-year contract extension on top of his two remaining years on his initial contract after the 2014-15 season. He is under contract with the Spartans through the 2018-19 season.

Miller, the 2012 Southern Conference Coach of the Year during his interim season, has led the Spartans to double digit wins in four out of the last five years breaking a streak of three straight seasons with eight or less wins (2008-2011). When he took over during the 2011-12 season, he led the Spartans to a 10-8 SoCon record and the SoCon North Division title as he was 11-11 overall that year.

This past season, he led the Spartans to a 15-19 overall record – their highest win total since the 2007-08 season. He guided UNCG to just its fourth postseason appearance in program history as the Spartans took part in the College Basketball Invitational (CBI), advancing to the quarterfinals. UNCG picked up its first-ever postseason win in program history with a 69-65 win over Houston Baptist at home at the Greensboro Coliseum.

The Spartans finished the regular season with a 10-8 record in SoCon play, matching their win total in the league from 2011-12. UNCG was especially strong at home posting a 12-4 record, the highest win total since moving to the Greensboro Coliseum and the top mark for home wins since the 2000-01 season (12-6).
