Either way it looks like we won't really see much more of him in his Arizona career. Just a few injury riddled games here and there before he goes pro. Sad ending to his career here. To be completely honest, scouts already has him pegged as undersized, unathletic, and slow. Now he's injury prone. I...

Sean Miller is awesome.

Meet me for a beer and we can discuss it.

His tweet about his neice, Archie's daughter, winning some event (presumably gymnastics?) is gold. "Congrats Leah...... Glad to see you got your mom's athletic talent."

Love our coaches.

I showed this thread to a co-worker who went to Utah and he is laughing his ass off at Salty's posts. Why do you speak so confidently about stuff you know nothing about man?

Then you,must have missed the 70's straight through the 90's ending with Majerus. Yeah, he did well in the WAC, got to the Final Four, and a few Elite Eights. That's the coach. Not the program. A football or basketball school transcends one coach. For example, Boise State is a "football" school bec...

Well, if they are a basketball school, they're a lousy one. Is Oregon State a basketball school? Like I've said before, the basketball school vs football school is a non-factor. Texas hired a coach who said no to UCLA, Maryland, Illinois, and NC State. And our very own Sean Miller, who most would cl...

They've also been to 3 elite 8s,13 sweet sixteens, 22 tournaments, and won 17 conference titles in that 50 years(mostly in the wac and Mwc) and are 14th all time in college basketball history in total wins. So yes, they are a basketball school. Three Elite 8's in 50 years is not a basketball school...

There is a reason the Huntsman center is one of the biggest arena's in college bball while Rice-Eccles is small by most big 5 conference football standards. Utah is and has been a bball school. Great history of success. Ootbal may be more popular but that doesn't change the spots on this leopard Th...

I guarantee that if you took a poll as to which was more valuable... Students and alumni would say football. Utah went undefeated just a few years ago. They also beat Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. They have been very good, and finally seem to have adjusted to the PAC-12. Utah basketball though... One F...

Texas will have reach in the recruiting game.

May take him a year or two to get things rolling though.

Salty

Could be a great hire. We'll see. Probably can recruit well, but prior to 2015 he had only ever signed 2 4 star recruits. Never won a conference title in the colonial or a10. 4 straight first and second round exits since the miracle run 4 years ago. I've honestly never understood the hype over the ...

For sure Salty, I'll eat it. I guess Texas boosters have made a commitment to basketball. Now you just need to pray that Pitino doesn't retire in the next few years. Either way, I am very anxious to see how this works. Shaka is my favorite coach besides Miller. I'm not a fan of Texas, I just see a ...

Who replaces Barnes? My early wish list: Shaka Smart Gregg Marshall Jay Wright Larry Krystkowiak Archie Miller No one on this list will even consider the Texas job. http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/64621444/ Texas has resources, but basketball guys don't like to be the afterthought to football....

I feel like a pipe for water from flooded areas would be great.

How many times has the Mississippi flooded and destroyed homes, crops, and created damage?

I agree, this is getting silly. if Sean Miller wanted to leave, then it's like a recruit, why be butt hurt, get outta here. I don't think he does, but if he does, why would you want someone to stay if he didn't want to? So just enjoy today, the present. PS - ya'll in for a shock. Sit the eff down. ...

The expectations was the Final Four this year.

Anyone who thinks Arizona could do better than Miller is on crack.

Happy with what Arizona has

Salty

Isn't this about the ability to compete for championships and not final fours? To me, it has less to do with how many five stars or McD AA we get here vs other schools and more to do with the perception that the talent pool in the west is below the rest of the country. AZ gets the best of the best ...

Dropping the ball against UNLV, ASU, and ntOSU, also likely caused Miller to miss on this years final four, but sure thats ARIZONA's problem...

Some fans ask about Miller's ceiling when we should really be concerned with Miller's perception of Arizona's ceiling. That's an interesting thought. Why would Miller's perception of AZ's ceiling be any different than UNC's? First, we're talking about an Arizona program that Miller couldn't get to ...

The PAC-12 crap is overblown. Miller wouldn't get favorable calls playing at Duke, NC State, or Syracuse either. And there didn't seem to be much of a difference to what Arizona faces in the PAC-12 to what was faced in the tourney. Btw, those who complain about the coach of year or other awards from...

If coaches have such huge egos, wouldn't that make them more motivate to turn their school in a basketball school, or a shared success school?

The whole "football vs basketball school" thing is overblown.

Think Billy Donovan or Thad Matta care that their university has strong support for the football program?

It doesn't have to be mutually exclusive. A school like Texas has the resources to have an elite basketball and football program.
