    Local roundup: Glen Miller officially named to new job at Saint Joseph

    West Hartford — Glen Miller was named associate director of men's basketball at the University of Saint Joseph on Monday, athletic director Bill Cardarelli announced.

    Miller, the ex-Fitch star, will begin work immediately in the fulltime position to lead the effort to build St. Joseph's first men's basketball program for the 2018-19 academic and athletic year, when the Division III school becomes co-ed for the first time.

    Miller, who led Connecticut College to NCAA Div. III Final Four in 1999, also has head coaching at the Division I level (Brown and Penn), and was an assistant coach during two of UConn's national champion seasons (2011 and 2014).

    Miller will be working with former UConn coach Jim Calhoun, who was hired as a part-time consultant to the men's basketball program last week and is expected to be the Blue Jays' first head coach after his current UConn contract expires next March.

    "Glen is the perfect man for the job," Cardarelli said in a release. "His commitment to both education and athletic excellence will help USJ tremendously as we open our doors to male students for the first time next year."

    Miller added, "to land here at a wonderful education institution like USF, where Bill and I will spend every day for the next year building something special from the ground up, is a true thrill for me."
