SAN ANTONIO — On Tuesday, Head Coach Karen Aston announced that Cameron Miles, who served as Assistant Coach / Coordinator of Scouting in the 2024-25 season, would be promoted to Associate Head Coach, filling the position left vacant by current Omaha Head Coach Jamie Carey.
"To begin, I would like to say how incredibly thrilled I am for Coach Jamie Carey. I am so thankful for her commitment to helping us move the needle here at UTSA and I know she will do the same at Omaha," said Aston. "In saying that, I am so happy to announce the promotion of Coach Cameron Miles. He has grown so much here as a coach, a mentor and a leader of our young women and it is a natural progression for him to become the Associate Head Coach. I have said many times, that Cam is a rising star in our profession. He is a development first coach in every way, but his growth in other areas has been fun and rewarding to watch. Again, I am thrilled that he and his wife, Aliyah, and daughter, Arlee, have chosen to continue their journey here at UTSA."
Miles climbed the ladder quickly at UTSA, coming on as an Assistant Coach in 2021 and receiving a promotion to Coordinator of Scouting in 2024 after a season that saw the Roadrunners go 18-15 and make the WNIT for the squad's first national postseason berth since the 2008-09 season. The team reached new heights in 2024-25, with a 26-4 mark representing the best in program history and a 17-1 league record, which earned the team the American Athletic Conference Regular Season Championship.
Working primarily with the post players, Miles has mentored several standout performers, including 2022-23 Conference USA Player and Newcomer of the Year and 2024-25 American Athletic Conference Player of the Year Jordyn Jenkins. In addition to Jenkins, he helped Elyssa Coleman to CUSA All-Defensive honors in 2022-23 and saw Idara Udo crack The American All-Conference Second Team in 2024-25.
Prior to his time at UTSA, he spent two years as an Assistant Coach at the College of Charleston and four seasons at Lamar in various roles.
"I'm extremely excited and thankful for the elevation into this role," said Miles. "I'm thankful to Karen for believing in me to this magnitude, and will do whatever it takes to help her continue to grow this program. I also want to thank (Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics) Lisa (Campos) and the administration, for the positivity toward me and the program … I can't wait to get to work and continue to 'Cash In'."
