SAN ANTONIO – UTSA women's basketball head coach Karen Aston announced the hiring of Cameron Miles as an assistant coach for the Roadrunners.
"A huge Roadrunner welcome to Cameron and his family from ours here in San Antonio," Aston said. "His roots run deep in the heart of Texas and I know he will bring a wealth of knowledge, work and enthusiasm to our program. He is well thought of here and will impact our young women and our future recruiting. Cameron also will bring skill development to our players not only in the post but among the entire program. I look forward to watching his impact."
Miles comes to the Alamo City after spending the last two seasons at the College of Charleston in the same position.
"I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to work with such a knowledgeable and well known coach in the game," Miles said. "Not only is it a pleasure to come back to the state of Texas, but I am eager to learn and grow with the staff. I'm excited to get started and build with the staff and players."
