Coach Miller’s New View on College Basketball

Sean Miller, once a prominent coach at Arizona, recently spoke to reporters before Texas faced Purdue. He talked about how the game has changed since he left, especially with transfers and new rules that let players earn money from endorsements. He said building a team is different now because many athletes can move between schools quickly and earn big sums. “You used to have to be careful with transfers, ” he explained, “but now you can bring in several players in a single year. ” Miller also reflected on his time at Arizona, noting that the school’s new coach, Tommy Lloyd, is doing a great job. He praised Arizona for treating him and his family well during his tenure.When asked if fans would cheer for Texas, Miller laughed and said he hoped they would support the team. He added that his relationship with Arizona remains positive, citing long‑lasting friendships and family ties to the university. The coach emphasized that he loves developing players over time, something that is harder now with the new rules. He mentioned former teammates like Dusan Ristic and Parker Jackson‑Cartwright, who stayed with the team for four years. Overall, Miller’s comments show he sees the sport evolving but still values strong coaching and player development. He remains optimistic about Arizona’s future under Lloyd.
