Warren Weston "Wes" Miller (born January 28, 1983) is an American basketball coach and former player. Born in Greensboro, North Carolina, he played at the collegiate level for James Madison University and the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, where he graduated in 2007. Professionally, Miller played for London Capitals of the British Basketball League.
Miller holds the position of head coach at UNC Greensboro. He was asked to step in for former coach Mike Dement after he resigned on December 13, 2011. Previously, he was an assistant coach at Elon University under head coach, Ernie Nestor, for the 2008-2009 season. After that, Miller was also an assistant coach under Scott Cherry, a former UNC player, for the 2009-2010 season.
Upon transferring to the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Wes Miller successfully walked-on to the basketball team. He was redshirted for the 2003-2004 season. Miller played on the Tar Heel team that won the 2005 National Championship. He graduated in 2007 with a bachelor's degree in political science and after graduation he wrote a book titled The Road to Blue Heaven about his road to the University of North Carolina and his years playing there.
The Road to Blue Heaven tells Wes Miller's story as a Tar Heel and what it took him to get there. He didn't have a scholarship and recruiters looked past him at other players who stand around 6-foot or taller. After spending a year at the mid-major program, James Madison University, Miller decided to take his chances, without a basketball scholarship, and transfer to the University of North Carolina. Due to Miller's hard work he earned a starting position as a Junior. Miller's book is a glimpse into what his life was like.
After playing professionally overseas in England for a year, Wes Miller was hired as an assistant coach at Elon University. He was overseen by head coach, Ernie Nestor. Together, Nestor and Miller's team finished the 2008-2009 season with a record of 12-19. This also happened to be Ernie Nestor's final year with Elon.
