Wes MILLER and UNCG

Watched about all of their game today. I don't think a close call went their way yet they almost beat a good Gonzaga team. Better than anyone in the Sunbelt from what I saw. Someone will steal MILLER away soon. They are for real.

Just for fun, here's Wes Miller's record during his first four seasons at UNCG:

Season W-L
2011-12 11-11
2012-13 9-22
2013-14 14-18
2014-15 11-22

... And his record in his last three seasons:
2015-16 15-19
2016-17 25-10
2017-18 27-8
Totals 112-110

I'm guessing the folks at the G are glad they didn't run him off.

In looking at Wes Millers and Jim Fox's first 4 seasons, we have the following:

Wes Miller record : 45-73

Jim Fox record : 45-78

Very interesting indeed. Hoping that Fox can continue an upward trend for our Mountaineers.

Well Im guessing he's sticking otherwise we would be announcing it.

In looking deeper, Wes went 60-93 in first 5 seasons and has gone 52-18 in the last 2 seasons to get to 112 - 111 overall. Yes, coaches can learn on the fly if given support and time. I hope with all of my heart that we see some of the same from Coach Fox.

Miller definitely had some on-the-job learning, as he detailed in a recent News & Record article (don't have the link handy, worth looking up if you're interested).

OTOH, he took over midseason as a 29-year-old interim coach. One would assume he'd have a steeper learning curve than, say, a 40-year-old longtime assistant who was hired after a normal search.
