Timothy Sean Miles (born August 20, 1966) is an American college basketball coach and the current head men's basketball coach at University of Nebraska. Miles previously served as the head coach at Colorado State University. He is a graduate of the University of Mary.
Following his playing career at Mary, Miles spent his first five seasons in coaching as an assistant at Northern State in NCAA Division II, eventually leaving for his first head coaching tenure at Mayville State in NAIA Division II. In both of his two seasons at Mayville, Miles lead the Comets to two NAIA DII tournament appearances. He subsequently returned to NCAA Division II play and had a successful head coaching stint at Southwest Minnesota State, which included one NCAA DII tournament appearance.
Miles then took over at North Dakota State in 2001. Shortly thereafter, the school declared its intent to reclassify from Division II and transition to Division I. The school would be ineligible for postseason play in its first five years of the transition, and was initially without a conference. On January 21, 2006, in just the school's second year in Division 1, NDSU pulled off a shocking 62–55 upset of #12 Wisconsin at the Kohl Center. The Bison, starting three redshirt freshman, ended Wisconsin's 27-game home winning streak against non-conference opponents. Miles would be named the Division I Independent Coach of the Year by CBS Sportsline.
The following season the Bison pulled yet another stunning upset. NDSU won at #8 Marquette in the championship game of the school's Blue and Gold Classic 64–60. The Bison would go on to finish 20–8, their best season under Miles. Of note, one year after Miles departed, at which time the school had since gained entry to the Summit League, the Bison made the NCAA Tournament under Miles' top assistant and successor, Saul Phillips, in their first year of eligibility primarily with the same players (as seniors) Miles had recruited and coached during their upsets of Wisconsin and Marquette.
