Former Cincinnati Bearcats men’s basketball head coach Wes Miller could become the new head coach at University of North Carolina at Charlotte, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Norlander.
“Three names under consideration (at Charlotte): Wes Miller, former NC State coach Kevin Keatts, Duke assistant Emanuel Dildy,” Norlander wrote. “The school has some solid financial backing for NIL moving forward thanks to some investments by local billionaire Ric Elias. I think this is Miller’s job. We should know if that’s the case no later than Tuesday.”
The Bearcats announced March 13 that they fired Miller less than five years after he was hired.
Charlotte announced March 17 that head coach Aaron Fearne would not return, and a national search for a new head coach was under way.
Miller, born in Greensboro, North Carolina, played college basketball for the North Carolina Tar Heels. All of his coaching jobs prior to UC were in the state of North Carolina, including Elon, High Point and UNC Greensboro.
Miller was UNC Greensboro’s head coach from 2011 until he left in 2021 to become the Bearcats’ head coach.
