Former Arizona HC Sean Miller Reportedly Agrees to 6-Year Contract with Xavier

Sean Miller is at a school.

Jeff Goodman of Stadium said that the former head coach of the Musketeers is returning to the school on a six-year deal.

He chose the Musketeers.

Miller spent five seasons with the Musketeers, leading the team to a 120-47 overall record, three regular-season Atlantic 10 championships, one Atlantic 10 conference tournament championship, four NCAA tournament berths and a run to the Elite Eight in the 2006 campaign.

Breaking—Sean Miller will once again be Xavier’s coach, a source confirms to CBS Sports. Miller also had a standing offer from South Carolina but turned it down. Two big factors in decision: Familiarity w/ Xavier, plus allure of coaching in Big East.

He spent the next 12 seasons at Arizona, where he went 302-109 and won five regular-season Pac-12 titles, three conference tournament titles and seven NCAA tournament berths.

Richardson was arrested and pleaded guilty to a felony count of conspiracy to commit bribery as part of a federal investigation into college basketball corruption.

Richardson told Dawkins that Miller paid Deandre Ayton $10,000 to attend Arizona.

Miller denied paying players. Miller was fired after the school and coach couldn't agree on a contract extension. He was away from basketball for a year.

One factor in the decision: No one knows how severe Sean Miller's punishment will be when it comes down from the IARP later this year, but because Miller has "only" one Level I coach-control charge against him, the suspension isn't expected to be harsh or exceedingly lengthy.

Steele went 70-50 in four seasons and failed to reach the NCAA tournament. He will return to a school in the Big East, where it has played since the 2013-14 season. Since moving to the Big East, the Musketeers have not won a conference tournament title.
