    Miles said, 'We're going to do the alma mater,' and everybody was like, 'What,' ... I am actually excited about the celebration with the students. I want to see how it goes.

    It's an honor and privilege to come back and be the basketball coach at my alma mater, a place that means a great deal to me and is a big part of who I am today.
