March 23 (UPI) -- The Charlotte 49ers hired Wes Miller as their new men's basketball coach, the school announced Monday.
Miller owns a 285-209 record. He spent the last five seasons at Cincinnati. The Bearcats, who went 18-15 in 2025-26, fired Miller on March 13.
"I'm incredibly honored to lead the Charlotte Basketball program," Miller said in a news release. "This is a university with tremendous momentum, a passionate city behind it, and deep basketball roots in the state of North Carolina.
"From the moment I began talking with [athletic director] Kevin White and chancellor Sharon Gaber, it was clear there is a shared vision to build a program defined by toughness, passion, and relentless energy.
"We're going to pour everything we have into developing our student-athletes, competing at the highest level, and building a team that our campus and this city are proud to rally around. The foundation is here for something special, and I can't wait to get to work because Charlotte's stock is rising."
