North Dakota State head men’s basketball coach Tim Miles is going up in altitude – and in the Division I ranks.

Miles, 40, will take over the program at Colorado State, an announcement that is expected to take place this afternoon at the Fort Collins school.

Neil Sussenguth, the father of NDSU freshman forward Sam Sussenguth, said Miles met with the Bison players late Wednesday night and informed them that he is taking the CSU job.

Miles and Bison athletic director Gene Taylor could not be reached for comment. But ESPN.com, quoting unidentified sources, said Miles will be named to replace Dale Layer.

It was a reversal of sorts from the flirtation Miles had with North Carolina-Wilmington last spring.

That process lasted two weeks and eventually ended with Miles withdrawing from consideration.

The Colorado State job came quick.

Weber State (Utah) head coach Randy Rahe told the Fort Collins Coloradoan newspaper late Wednesday that he was “aware Tim Miles was a leading candidate.” But Rahe couldn’t confirm late Wednesday night that Miles got the job.

Rahe was a candidate for openings at CSU and the University of Wyoming. Colorado State had one of four coaching vacancies in the Mountain West Conference.

The Mountain West was represented by two schools in this year’s NCAA tournament with Brigham Young and UNLV. Las Vegas is still alive in the Sweet 16.

Layer was fired March 12 after seven years at the school after the Rams finished 17-13.

The Rams have beaten the Bison each of the last two seasons and will play in Fargo next season as part of a two-for-one contract. CSU defeated NDSU 82-80 last December.

The Bison have hit the national landscape the last two years with upsets of top 25 teams – both in Wisconsin. NDSU knocked off the University of Wisconsin two seasons ago and beat Marquette University last December.

That and a 20-8 record this season as a Division I independent made Miles an attractive candidate.

In six years at NDSU, Miles compiled a 99-71 record. Prior to that, he spent four years at Southwest Minnesota State, going 78-39 with an appearance in the NCAA Division II Elite 8.

He was also head coach at Mayville State for two years where he went 35-22.

Here you go sassy. Its a sad day for me. Tim is a good guy who I got to know personnally, gave me a good reccomendation for the coaching job I had this past year and taught me a few other things about scouting teams. He was ready for the move up and the Big West is the perfect calling for him.
