I dont get all the Sean Miller hate.  We could for sure do worse.

He's certainly the floor, but not the ceiling 

We should probably aim higher, but we could do worse

4 Elite 8s, 4 Sweet 16s

His tenure at Arizona did not end well

Yeah but isn't the stuff that got him in trouble at Arizona basically allowed now.  Got in trouble for recruiting violations which isn't really a concern in the NIL days.

Talk like that gets you Jamie Dixon

Hey, Dixon was a perfectly good hire for a program like TCU - he was over .700 winning percentage at Pitt with 2 Sweet 16s and an Elite 8.  And he was an alum

He was less good when Pitt moved to the ACC and it showed in the Big 12, but it's not like TCU had some legendary basketball history, considering their last tournament appearance before Dixon was 1998.

That is certainly something CDC would bring up in an interview - four Level 1 violations and a LOIC charge.

Shhhhhh. Quiet. Dixon is perfect for North Texas aggy.

The best part of Texas coaching searches - the immediate silly season. Every name gets thrown out, from NBA to national championship winning coaches to, when it was baseball, high school coaches.

We're getting Donovan!
Bill Self called CDC himself!
Dan Hurley is tired of winning titles at UConn, he wants a new challenge!
I'd like to see what the Duncanville coach can do with Texas resources

That's better than the jokes. "Maybe we can get Bobby Knight??? What about Tom Penders??? Ha ha ha ha maybe John Wooden!!". It's funny because these are coaches that we will not be hiring. That is what makes it so funny.

Sean Miller does not excite me at all. That Xavier team isn’t that good, they just got to play us.

Expand  

The 2nd half offense they played is all we need. In the games I watched, every time our team wilted down the stretch it was because they would bring the ball up court, make one pass, set one screen, not use the screen, dribble into the lane and take a contested shot or make a tough pass out to someone who can't shoot or Tre Johnson in a tough position. 

The Xavier motion offense was so simple, but they just kept running it and getting looks. That's all I want.

I'll say this about Sean Miller. His is the name that keeps coming up the most when this job is talked about.

Expand  

Now the question is, is the media just recirculating his name from 2023 because it’s easy and they have no sources or is there legit smoke

Can he teach passing the ball when you have a contested shot with zero chance of making it?

I bet we can get him for next to nothing? Make sure that Morality Clause is rock solid. All we need is a guy that runs around with women of questionable character
