Sam Miller joined the UNC women’s basketball staff in May of 2021 and serves as Director of Scouting and Video Operations. In June of 2023, his title was updated to reflect his added role as an assistant coach.

Prior to coming to Chapel Hill, he was a member of the women's basketball staff at Duke from 2016-20, serving as an assistant coach and video coordinator. He also has been part of the men's coaching staffs at Western Michigan and Kalamazoo and worked in the NBA Developmental League as a basketball operations/video assistant. He got his start as the boys' head coach at Hudson (Mich.) High School.

Miller is a graduate of Adrian College, where he was a two-year member of the men's basketball team, and went on to earn his master's degree in coaching sports performance from Western Michigan University in 2013.

"It became clear throughout the interview process that Sam is just the person to lead our Video and Scouting efforts," UNC coach Courtney Banghart said upon his hiring. "He is deeply committed to our sport and has earned valuable experience, both in the film room and as an assistant coach, in the ACC. He is a proven worker and a dedicated teammate.

“We use film extensively, for both player and team growth, and Sam's addition to our staff will ensure our continued success on all levels. He will lead our scouting efforts and his experience in the ACC will be an immediate asset. Sam is an impact hire and we're thrilled he's a Tar Heel."
