slu72 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 just heard rumor of Sean Miller to Arizona from a buddy in AZ.That wouldn't be much of a surprise. Miller's name comes up quite frequently. It's also rumored that it's Mark Few's job to turn down. Few seems pretty content at GZ though and also Oregon is looking for a new coach which is Few's alma mater. X will promote from within and keep right on rolling along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 But not at SLU thankfully. Gillen to Providence. Prosser to Virginia. Matta to Ohio State. Miller to Arizona. No graveyard there. Almost as good as our lineage, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

courtside Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 That wouldn't be much of a surprise. Miller's name comes up quite frequently. It's also rumored that it's Mark Few's job to turn down. Few seems pretty content at GZ though and also Oregon is looking for a new coach which is Few's alma mater. X will promote from within and keep right on rolling along. Few turned down Arizona last week. He was their 2nd choice behind Calipari. He is one of about half a dozen or so people to have turned down the position already. Few also was contacted last fall regarding the AZ position, but his interest hasn't changed, and thus far he's been content staying at Gonzaga. Oregon would have gone to him first, but they decided to give Ernie Kent one more year and let Kent hire Mike Dunlap from AZ as his Associate Head Coach, to help Kent develop players, one of Dunlap's strengths.

STLfan Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Tulsa had a nice run of coaches once upon a time. Tulsa has had some good coaches - Nolan Richardson - Tubby Smith - Buzz Peterson - Bill Self Some pretty good coaches have been assistant coaches there as well - Billy Gillispie - Flip Saunders - Tom Izzo - Mike Anderson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetorch Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/story/11595705 Great news for Xavier and the league as a whole. Very impressed by Xavier. He turned down one the top ten high profile programs in the country along with a contract that would have made him one of the richest college coaches to stay with X.
