UNC Greensboro coach Wes Miller giving youthful spark to Spartans

UNC Greensboro coach Wes Miller hopped on the balls of his feet while his Spartans fired up shots in McKenzie Arena on Friday.

The head coach of the Spartans had rebounding responsibilities during their shoot-around in McKenzie Arena. That’s rare.

Also rare is a Division I school having a coach younger than 30 years old. And Miller is the youngest in the country after taking over for former Mike Dement in December.

Miller is 29. He looks younger than some of his players, shoots better than half of them and passes better than most of them. At least he did in the final period of the Spartans’ practice Friday in McKenzie Arena.

“That’s my chance to get a workout,” said Miller, who finished his college career in 2007 at North Carolina.
