Wonder if the ACC power (i.e., K, Roy) will allow him in. That's probably the question.

We should start a new HC thread because I can definitely seeing them land Miller as early as tomorrow.

Lute went with a three guard lineup. The same issues prevalent in '92 with Rooks & Stokes were still there in '93. And if Stokes had another year of eligibility in '94, does Lute go small?

The opportunity for a more athletic team is there for Miller with Ristic gone & a better point guard next season.

Pitt offered Dan Hurley more money than UConn but he spurned them. It will be interesting to see what they do now. I don't think they pursue Miller for the same reasons many here want him gone. The best case scenario is still Sean stepping down to take care of his health. The cough is worse and we all see he has gained weight. There's no way he's going to coach his best basketball next season. Too much stress for anyone to be effective at his job.

The weight, he's back to his normal stuff. The cough though, is that a condition or a tick? He had that with TJMC, no way that's a barometer of his health lol

Can’t see it. Ayton to the Suns, yes. If the Suns are able to draft Ayton and bring in Aaron Gordon in the offseason as rumored, I may have to start watching them again.

Ayton
Gordon
Booker
Jackson

Just need a point guard and that's scary.

Golden State isn't scared, neither are the 76'ers with that...

That meeting is just a "we missed on Hurley" meeting.

Don't think so, the boosters and fans want Miller to revive that program. It's a perfect scenario worth the risk. And he only has a 500k Buyout? WTF!

That is the biggest malpractice committed in contract writing ever. Seriously, 500k?

Well, for the folks on here who don't want him to stay, maybe it's a blessing.

Is there actual confirmation, because I have not seen any of that. Any time Pitt has an open job, Miller's name comes up, but there's a difference between Schlabach sources and real info.

This smells real. You have to do the independent math on your own, but look at the scenario: Miller actively courted Pitt. Pitt went after Hurley but got embarrassed. They are in dire straights, coming off an 0'fer. Miller does not want to rebuild again at Arizona but he would do it with a fresh start at his old school in the east to rehab his rep. Miller's statement was not an endorsement of Arizona. There is no buyout issue. The boosters and fans want Miller back. Pitt has no one even close to his caliber and will bend to believe his FBI clearance and justify it by saying Arizona backed him, so we will too. It all makes sense. The smoke is there. It's going down tomorrow on a Friday IMO. I'd put 4 digits on it.

I mean that doesn't show any growth though does it? So ultimately our great answer to our current failures on the court is to recruit less talented players to play Miller ball as opposed to recruiting the most talented players and adapting to their strengths/weaknesses? Good christ I wish I could get $3.5 million per to just run a written out system.

This isn't planned change either, it's forced upon us change. There's a huge difference between doing some self reflection and changing course willingly and merely waking up one and and saying well shit we're stuck doing it this way now so let's roll with it I guess. One you genuinely want to do and the other you're stuck doing. The psychology of that certainly matters.

Bear Down with Miller Ball and Ehhhhh players though!

You can get $3.5M. Just win your conference, the tourney and average 30 wins per year over the last 5 years and you will have NO PROBLEM getting that money. This place is incredible. Win your conference by two full games (extremely rare) and you get this. We had a disappointing tournament after a year of turmoil. Nut up and get back to work.

Where did Lute Olson finish in conference the year his team lost to Santa Clara? A game which gave him a huge moment of clarity, where he reflected and decided to change his approach completely on his own free will that eventually led to a national title? Remind me. Did we win the conference by 6 games that year or was it only 5?

Stop being reasonable. There’s no room for that at a time like this.

Well it wasn't 6 or 5. Maybe this is the year Sean gets his moment of clarity and makes the subtle changes that will help. But lets be clear....he wins more than any coach in Arizona's history (although a easier schedule makes that easier) and he works as hard as any coach in the country. Last night he had home visits with two recruits.

I still think you call few and throw crazy money at him and then if that doesn’t work get musselman

I personally think this would be best outcome given circumstances for everyone

Would be happy for Miller to get back east to his alma mater to a lower pressure job and for us to move on from the shit storm of Book.

I don't see what choice we have other than to leap to conclusions. Miller is gone, and we are replacing him with whoever is in the front of my mind at this moment.
