Miller to Texas

You're like 8th fiddle at Texas as the men's basketball coach. While you're gonna get support it's not the type of support you need to build a championship program.

That was true in the past but the SEC is obviously stressing basketball more so that can change.

Paying the players tons of money somehow makes up for not getting to play "Big Man on Campus." Strange.

sucks for the Big East, unless they get another big name like Chris Mack.

We don't know if Sean Miller couldn't win in the Big East. He was snake bitten by injuries the last 3 years.

Miller is going to be able to get the kind of players he needs to win there. Even Terry was pulling 5 stars there, and it wasn’t for his coaching.

Xavier is going no where. Small Catholic in Cinci isn’t drawing players. There will come a time soon where their ceiling is a S16 max. I’m sure Miller at his age has bigger goals than finishing 4th in the BE.

Hate the thought of the BE being a stepping stone to bigger jobs. Shaka left Texas (maybe before being fired after a bad year) for Marquette. How the Xavier and Nova jobs get filled will say a lot about the perception of the big east going forwawrd.

Sean Miller always had his sights on a bigger program. The only reason he was at X in the first place was because he got forced out of Arizona, not for performance reasons.

Top to bottom, the Big East has the best coaches. There are a lot of garbage coaches in the power conferences. But the BE is full of smaller schools that can't compete with these massive state schools for NIL. It sucks...but that's the way it's going to be unless some of the BE schools find rich boosters.

Not great at all. Last year it felt like this conference had the right mix of proven good/great pre-99 Calhoun coaches that may get somewhere in life, truly great coaches, young energetic up and comers. Now it's like:

-Miller gone
-Will Shaka and McDermot ever go deep in a tourney?
-Cooley and Holloway huge step back.
-Pitino not riding with Luis to the end....

I'm much less bullish on this league than I was this time last year.

Not to mention not one 2nd weekend team….trending down big time

That's who I would hire. Dude is a really good basketball mind/coach.
 
Sucks for X, he'll win at Texas
 
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.

right, because the big east has hurt this team so much over the last three years.

Writing is on the wall.

Nova way down. Shaka is figured out at Marquette. St John’s best team ever couldn’t get out of the first weekend. Providence irrelevant. Xavier is a stepping stone.

NIL money is more important than ever, and we are not able to rev share like the big 4.

But keep your head in the sand!

three winning seasons, including two championships. The sand is pretty good.
