Turns out, you can go home again.
Lots of outlets, including CBS Sports, ESPN in the Stadiumreport that former Arizona coach Sean Miller is employed by Xavier, the school that the Wildcats occupied 13 years ago.
The school confirmed it later Saturday afternoon:
Miller, 53, went 120-47 in five seasons with the 2004-09 Musketeers, making four NCAA tournament appearances with two Sweet 16s and an Elite Eight. With Arizona, he went 302-109 from 2009-21, with five Pac-12 titles, four Sweet 16s and two Elite Eights, before leaving school last April.
Xavier separated with the coach Travis Steele earlier this week, one day after his team beat Cleveland State in the first round of the NIT. The Musketeers (19-13) host Florida on Sunday with the Interim coach Jonas Hayes in charge.
Miller, who, like Arizona, was serving his sentence for the alleged NCAA violation of the program under his supervision, will likely retain at least one Xavier staff coach: Danny Peterswho was on his last staff with the Wildcats.
brother Archie Miller recently was employed by Rhode Island after the couple made podcasts together this past season. Sean Miller the UA voted to win the national titlealthough he beat the Wildcats in the final Kentucky.
Xavier finished eighth in the 11-team Big East this season. When Miller was in charge, the Musketeers were still in Atlantic 10.
