Xavier’s Miller is talking to Arizona
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
In what may be a fast-changing situation, Xavier coach Sean Miller is talking to Arizona about their job. It would be a tough time to move: Xavier will be really good next year and Arizona is going to need a couple of years to get its act back together. Arizona does have the ability to throw a whole lot of money at Miller, more than Xavier could probably get together, and, well, maybe it’s because I’m a West Coast guy, but I’ve been in Cincinnati in January and I’ve been in Tucson in January, and I choose Tucson. But with how Xavier looks for next season, it will be tough for Miller to leave. But then, this may be the only chance he gets at a place like Arizona.
Xavier has prompted assistants to the top job, I believe, when the last three coaches left. That would put Chris Mack in good position, if Miller leaves. He is an X grad to boot.
