Just a few weeks after being busted for weed, Jamal Coombs-McDaniel is transferring from the UConn Huskies men’s basketball program.

Here’s the release:

STORRS, Conn. – University of Connecticut sophomore Jamal Coombs-McDaniel has been granted permission to speak to other schools and will be transferring from the University, it was announced by Head Coach Jim Calhoun Thursday afternoon.

Coombs-McDaniel is in the process of completing the spring academic semester at UConn.

“Jamal and I met recently and, although he loves the program, he would like more playing time,” said Calhoun. “He and I both agree that he may have more opportunity for that playing time in another program. He was a very important part of our national championship this season and I know is capable of great success in the future. We wish Jamal the best of luck athletically and academically where ever he decides to continue his college career.”

Coombs-McDaniel competed in 75 games over the past two seasons for the Huskies, averaging 4.5 points per contest. In the 2010-11 campaign, he played in all 41 games and averaged 5.6 points, 6.9 per contest in BIG EAST play

Overall, he’s made four career starts and is 4-0 with a 2.45 ERA. He’s made two of those starts at Fenway where he is 2-0 with a 3.86 ERA.

STORRS, Conn – The University of Connecticut announced Wednesday the naming of Glen Miller to the position of Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach. Miller served as the Director of Men’s Basketball Administration for the 2010-11 season.

“I am so happy to be able to move Glen into the position of assistant coach,” said head coach Jim Calhoun. “Glen is an exceptional teacher of the game of basketball and I am excited that he will be able to get back on the court for us this year.”

“I am thrilled to be back on the court coaching and teaching and also back on the road recruiting,” said Miller. ” I enjoyed the past year being back here at UConn and hope that I can continue to have a positive impact in an assistant coach spot.”

Miller is a graduate of UConn, former basketball letterwinner (at UConn and Northeastern) and former assistant coach under Jim Calhoun at UConn and spent 17 seasons as a collegiate head coach, 11 years in the Ivy League at the Division I level. He rejoined the UConn staff in June of 2010 in the position of Director of Basketball Administration.

He played two seasons at UConn and then two seasons for Jim Calhoun at Northeastern. He joined the coaching staff at Connecticut under Calhoun in 1986 and spent seven seasons on the Husky staff. He was named the head coach at Connecticut College in 1993 and spent six seasons in New London. He led Connecticut College to unprecedented success, culminating in a 28-1 campaign in 1998-99, advancing to the NCAA Division III Final Four and No. 3 final national ranking. He left to become the head coach at Brown University in the Ivy League, spending seven seasons in Providence (1999-2006). He was named the head coach at the University of Pennsylvania in 2006, leading the Quakers to the Ivy League Championship and the NCAA Tournament in 2006-07 and spent three full seasons and part of a fourth at Penn (2006-2009). Miller compiled a record of 233-209 in his 17 seasons as a head coach.

Glen and his wife Yvonne have four children: Tony, Genelle, Jillian and Emma. Born August 20, 1961, Miller is a native of Groton, Conn., where he attended Fitch High School.
