SAN JOSE, Calif. - San José State men’s basketball head coach Tim Miles will be inducted into the Southwest Minnesota State University Athletics Hall of Honor, announced by the university. Miles is one of eight individuals selected for the SMSU Hall of Honor class of 2026. The induction is the highest athletic distinction awarded by the university. Miles will be officially inducted on Jan. 26, 2026.
Miles was the catalyst for turning around Southwest Minnesota State University, who he guided for four seasons from 1997-2001. Prior to Miles’ arrival, the Mustangs had just one winning season in the previous decade. Miles changed all of that by posting a 78-39 four-year total, including a program-record 28-win season in 2001. The Mustangs won the 2001 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Championship as well as the NCAA North Central Regional Championship before advancing to the Division II Elite Eight. Miles was named the NSIC and North Central Region Coach of the Year Awards for his unprecedented success.
Miles is currently entering his fifth season as head coach of San José State. The Spartans are looking to qualify for postseason play for the third time in four seasons for the first time in school history.
