Miller to Texas

This is awful for the big east. Millers a great coach. Most of the BE coaches are upstarts (Holloway, English) or are trying to reboot their careers (Shaka, Putin, miller). A few are guys who are comfortable or loyal enough that they’ve stayed (like Mac). Then there’s Hurley. Put him in the last category or a different one but the point is that the BE is at a huge disadvantage when it comes to hiring coaches. Losing miller sucks.

Big East has arguably the best collection of coaches and Putin isn't one of them.
 
5 Pac12 regular season titles and 3 tournament titles, multiple #1 seeds but couldn't make it past the Elite 8 hump and then the downfall, I'd say he did pretty well
Yeah not bad but not killing it. All those number one seeds and no hardware. Not even final fours. He’s a good coach but blatantly cheated and got a pass. I know he’s not the only one.
 
Good move for Miller. Tough loss for Xavier and the Big East as a whole. Very good coach. Let's see what he can do with the NIL bump.
Wow this didn’t take long. Miler beat the players in transferring before the opening date of tomorrow.
 
I am finally convinced we need to listen to Coach K and Danny and blend the Big East viable programs with the ACC. We need to stick together or become extinct.
The Big East/ACC merger makes so much sense, beyond basketball. If leagues are trending toward 20ish teams, that's the best path forward for both leagues.
 
This is about the future Tom, not the past

Pretty obvious what is going on. Did you not notice the SEC getting 13 teams in the tourney???
Yeah, and all 5 of our Big East teams didn’t make it past the 1st weekend.

Thank you for making this point. I hear posters saying we can’t do anything if other conferences won’t give us an invite. So, instead, go charter a different path to maintain our survival. This is so Connecticut. Bitch we can’t change anything or adverse with taking any chance. Land of steady habits will kill us. How does Creighton play in a 17,000 seat arena and ours is a bandbox with a leaky roof?
 
Exactly what everyone said when Shaka went there.
If he goes to the 2nd weekend consistently it will be good enough in Austin, he will get a free pass in year 1 barring an epic disaster it's not football where winning 8-9 games will get you fired.
 
Texas is a sleeping giant, unlimited money and local talent. Huge brand power. Miller should kill it there.

Xavier had a lot of talent and stayed healthy, and still picked up several bad losses and was a controversial at-large selection. Miller's recruiting "talent" was in cheating and not getting caught. Except he did get caught, and now paying players is not cheating anymore. He has never proven himself to be an above average game planner or coach, and he is likely going to struggle at Texas despite its huge budget.

Xavier avoided a tough decision here.
