Tim Miles |
Season at Colorado State: First; Named Head Coach March 22, 1007 Record at CSU: 0-0 Career: 15th season: 212-132
When Tim Miles came to Colorado State University to coach men's basketball he arrived on campus with a winning attitude and a smile. Both are essential to the program Miles is building with the Rams. His personality draws fans and student-athletes alike to him. His attitude is apparent in the feats that sprinkle through his resume. Miles has earned 15 wins in each of his last five seasons, knocked off No. 8 Marquette and No. 15 Wisconsin both on the road, and finished as one of only two independent programs with a winning record in 2006-07. Off the court, Miles believes strongly in academics, family and CSU.
"My job is to come in and establish a winning mentality in our basketball program," commented Miles in a March 22 press conference announcing his hiring. "That means we're going to win outside hanging out with the students, we're going to win in the classroom when it comes to grades and we're going to win on the basketball floor."
Miles came to Colorado State with that winning spirit firmly in tact. With 12 years of experience as a head coach at three institutions, he has compiled a career record of 212-132 that includes three conference championships and three national tournament appearances.
In 2005-06, his North Dakota State team earned similar national attention by defeating nationally ranked Wisconsin on the road. He also previously served as the head coach at Southwest Minnesota State University from 1997-2001 and Mayville State University from 1995-97. He began his coaching career in 1989 as an assistant at Northern State, where he served from 1989-95.
While establishing a tradition of winning in college basketball, Miles' philosophy extends far beyond the basketball court. He and his staff are committed to academics and the success of their student-athletes in the classroom.
"It is essential that our players realize the value of their education at CSU," Miles said. "Academics is our top priority. We also want to represent this program, this university, and this community in a first-class manner at all times."
