Glen Miller, the winningest coach in University of Saint Joseph (USJ) men's basketball history, enters his sixth season as head coach in 2026-27 after being elevated to the position in November 2021 following the retirement of Hall of Famer Jim Calhoun. Prior to his appointment, Miller spent three seasons on the Blue Jays' staff as associate head coach. Under his direction, USJ has compiled a 116-25 overall record, including a remarkable 73-3 mark in Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) play. During his tenure, the Blue Jays have earned three NCAA Tournament appearances (2022, 2023, 2024), captured two GNAC Championships (2022, 2024), and claimed four GNAC regular-season titles (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024).

During his tenure, Miller has coached and developed two All-Americans, two GNAC Players of the Year, two GNAC Rookies of the Year, four GNAC Defensive Players of the Year, one D3hoops.com Region I Rookie of the Year, four NABC All-District selections, five D3hoops.com All-Region honorees, and 13 All-GNAC selections.

During the 2023-24 season, Miller led the Blue Jays back to the top of the GNAC, guiding top-seeded USJ to the conference championship with a victory over Saint Joseph's College of Maine in the title game. The Blue Jays went on to make their third consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance, earning the third NCAA Tournament victory in program history with a first-round win over Geneva College before advancing to the second round. USJ finished the season with a 25-5 overall record and a perfect 14-0 mark in conference play.

In the 2022-23 campaign, Miller guided the Blue Jays through a historic season that saw USJ ascend to No. 1 in both the national and Region I rankings. Under his leadership, the Blue Jays posted a 29-2 record, the most wins in program history, including a perfect 18-0 mark in GNAC play to extend the program's conference unbeaten streak to 41 games. Despite falling in the GNAC Championship Game, USJ earned the conference's first-ever at-large bid to the NCAA Division III Tournament. The Blue Jays advanced to the Sweet Sixteen after defeating Chatham University in the First Round and Williams College in the Second Round, becoming the first team in USJ history to win an NCAA Tournament game and just the third GNAC program to reach the Sweet Sixteen.

Statistically, USJ continued to excel defensively in Miller's second season, finishing first in the nation in field-goal percentage defense. For his efforts, Miller was named GNAC Coach of the Year, D3hoops.com Region I Coach of the Year, and NABC District 1 Coach of the Year.

In 2021-22, Miller assumed head coaching duties three games into the season and guided the Blue Jays to a 23-2 record over the remainder of the campaign, helping USJ finish with an overall mark of 26-2 and a perfect 18-0 GNAC record. After securing the GNAC regular-season title, the Blue Jays carried their momentum into the postseason, capturing their second consecutive GNAC Championship with a victory over rival Albertus Magnus College. USJ earned its second straight NCAA Tournament appearance, competing in the Worcester, Massachusetts Regional before falling to Penn State Harrisburg in the opening round. The Blue Jays ranked first nationally in field-goal percentage defense and ninth in field-goal percentage offense, while Miller earned GNAC Coach of the Year honors.

Miller joined the USJ staff in October 2017 and partnered with Hall of Fame coach Jim Calhoun to build the University's first men's basketball program. The Blue Jays advanced to the 2019 GNAC Championship Game with an all-freshman starting lineup before capturing the program's first GNAC Championship in 2020 and earning a berth in the NCAA Division III Tournament.

Prior to USJ, Miller returned to UConn and spent seven seasons on the Huskies' staff, including five as associate head coach. During that time, he helped lead Connecticut to NCAA National Championships in 2011 and 2014, as well as the 2011 BIG EAST Tournament Championship. Miller played a key role in practice planning, game strategy, player development, recruiting, scouting, and academic support.

Before rejoining UConn, Miller served as head coach at the University of Pennsylvania beginning in 2006. In his first season, he guided the Quakers to an Ivy League Championship and NCAA Tournament berth while setting a school record for Ivy League wins by a first-year head coach. His 2006-07 squad also established a program record for scoring average during Philadelphia Big 5 play at 83 points per game. Miller recruited and developed Tyler Bernardini, the 2007 Ivy League Rookie of the Year and the first Quaker to earn Philadelphia Big 5 Rookie of the Year honors, and also coached former Ivy League Player of the Year Ibrahim Jaaber.

Miller's Division I head coaching career began at Brown University in 1999. During his tenure, the Bears established program records for victories over two-, three-, four-, and five-year periods and set a school record for Ivy League wins in a season. In 2002-03, Brown tied the program record with 17 victories and earned its first National Invitation Tournament (NIT) berth. The Bears won 12 Ivy League games, the most in school history at the time, and recorded the program's first-ever victory at Princeton. Miller was named the 2003 CollegeInsider.com Ivy League Coach of the Year. During his seven seasons at Brown, he recruited and developed 10 All-Ivy League selections, including two three-time First Team honorees, the 2004 Ivy League Player of the Year, and the 2005 Ivy League Rookie of the Year.

Prior to Brown, Miller enjoyed a highly successful tenure at Connecticut College, transforming the Camels into a Division III power. In 1997-98, he led Connecticut College to its first NCAA Tournament appearance and a trip to the Sweet Sixteen. The following season, the Camels completed the only undefeated regular season in program history, finishing 24-0 before advancing to the 1999 NCAA Division III Final Four. Connecticut College finished the year 28-1, the best record in program history.

Miller began his collegiate coaching career at UConn in 1986, spending seven seasons with the Huskies before being named head coach at Connecticut College in 1993.

A native of Groton, Connecticut, Miller starred at Fitch High School before playing two seasons at UConn and finishing his collegiate career under Jim Calhoun at Northeastern University.
