AARON MILES
Former Kansas point guard Aaron Miles is back with the team, according to a University news release.
Miles, who is dealing with a torn labrum, said his playing career may not be over, but the "golden opportunity" to work alongside Bill Self was too much to pass up.
Miles will join the staff as the assistant director of student-athlete development, although the move could be short term.
Miles attended the University from 2002-05 where he finished atop the boards in
numerous guard categories. Miles holds the Big 12 Conference record for career assists with 954, which is ninth in NCAA Division I history.
With Miles on the team, the Jayhawks finished with a four-year record of 110-28, going 54-10 in Big 12 play. In Miles's first season, the Jayhawks went a perfect 16-0 against conference foes and advanced to one of two Final Fours that Miles would play in during his four years.
Since that time, Miles has spent time in the NBA D-League, NBA and Eurole-
ague. Right now, though, he said he's focusing on learning and helping out the players.
"I love helping people. I love basketball and I love the University of Kansas."

"I love helping people, I love basketball and I love the University of Kansas," Miles said in the release. "This is an ideal situation for me to be able to
do all three of those things."
He added: "Everybody in this office is special, and I can learn from them all."
At 32 years old, Miles is far from being the most experienced member of the basketball staff, but he isn't the youngest. Director of Basketball Operations Brennan Bechard, who graduated in 2009, holds that distinction. Miles is also younger than assistant coach Jerrance Howard, 35, who played for Bill Self at Illinois.
