The Wes Miller Thread

[Lobot]

Wes has received a contract extension from UC. The new deal runs through '28-29 and more than doubles his annual pay.

Best wishes to Wes at UNC Charlotte. Closing this thread.

[BearKatz]

So they can sit the bench there?

No, vice versa! Those are lower level recruits in my opinion who would have more playing time at UNC Charlotte then they will hear.

do you want to be a bench player at UC or possibly a starter at UNC Charlotte ?

But at least a winning tradition would be re-established.

I would take that, but sadly we are waiting for the next Huggs.

I can see Rodriguez and possibly Dzellat following Wes to Charlotte.

If WM had won big at UC he would be in Chapel Hill right now as the returning hero.

Great landing spot for him. His "ain't nobody as pissed off as me" tone will work well for him there. I wish him well.

I'm not so sure he'll ever get a chance to coach in another major conference again.

Will be interesting to see his trajectory.

Archie Miller went to IU after making four straight tourneys at Dayton. He never made the tourney in 4 years at IU (granted, they were on the verge of slipping into the dance in 2020--his third season--but it got canceled). He went to Rhode Island and has gone 9-22, 12-20, 18-13 and 16-16. Clearly, he's got no shot as a head coach to jump back in with the big boys.

I'm sure there are stories of guys like Wes who didn't cut it at a high major program, then clawed their way back. Should be interesting where Travis Steele's career takes him too.

yes he had to have won big here. NC would be rolling out the red carpet and instead on UNC-Chapel Hill it is UNC- Charlotte.

[BearKatz]

Any idea of the terms $$ of the contract?

Congrats! I think Wes will have success coaching Charlotte!
