SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) San Jose State has hired former Nebraska coach Tim Miles to take over the Spartans' struggling program.

Athletic director Marie Tuite announced the decision Tuesday, pointing to Miles' experience building programs at Colorado State and Nebraska.

Miles ended NCAA Tournament droughts at both those schools and had a 187-202 record in five seasons at Colorado State and seven at Nebraska. He also coached at lower levels at Mayville State, Southwest Minnesota State and North Dakota State, which made the transition to Division I under his leadership.
