Steele left Miller a veteral team that just won the NIT and Claude as a recruit. Miller is leaving nothing. Those little setbacks just add up.

You mentioned Few and Wright. What did those guys have in common?
They are unicorns, as I said. Those guys are few (no pun intended) and far between. Chances of finding them are less than 1%. If it ever happened, great but at a place like Xavier it’s almost impossible. Who knows maybe pitino ends up being one of those guys, but I’m not going to count on it, or trust a coach’s word that he will.

Also, yeah sometimes there’s a setback in the near term but before Steele and miller 2.0, long term we were having more and more success with each new coach. Hopefully we can get back on that track.
