Sean Miller

I saw 25% of the sweet 16 was first year coaches. I have no idea the roster turnover from those programs, though. IE- Texas Tech? Kentucky was a complete rebuild, but that’s not quite the same.

There has to be some sort of official word today, earlier the better.

My take is he went to the administration asking for more resources, i.e. NIL $$$ and was told he has all he has and the well is dry. That’s when he decided to leave. Otherwise, he’s set up to fail. That’s our new reality.

The team was awful the first 2.5 months and ended up making the tournament still. I’d say far from mailing it in.

The real clowns in today’s college basketball world are the wealthy donors who bankroll this absurd system, throwing money at players and coaches who chase NIL dollars and then betray them anyway. The second-tier clowns are those who still pretend this is anything other than professional mercenary sports.

He knew the situation with Xavier when he took the job, and now he's surprised? Not like Xavier's NIL is poor...everything i have heard is that we are competitive....maybe not Texas' huge pool of money but after football, I'd be surprised if it's really that much of a gap.

Whatever. Its not like hes killed it in his return, I just didn't want to lose conwell/Swain but is what it is.

Probably worth noting too that next year will be the first year schools can directly start paying players without having to rely on NIL funds IIRC.

While it hasn’t been officially announced, Sean Miller is gone. Texas’ lawyers are likely structuring their NIL commitment based on a percentage of what may eventually be allowed for all sports, which could be less than what Sean wants for basketball. But he has little leverage—trying to come back would only make a mockery of his own blatant betrayal.

BYU, UK, and Arkansas all changed coaches (some among each other) and are all better than they were last year.

X has plenty of NIL money to compete within the BE. They don't have Texas NIL money but Sean has known that since before he took the job.

Please stop giving this man cop outs.

How many returning players did they have and how many did they buy for this year?

None of us have any idea how much the NIL landscape might have changed over the last 3 years. Things might have been fine when he got here, but the spending by other schools might have increased more than expected and we can’t compete.
