Xavier Coach Sean Miller (official thread)
Cincy
XU aims to keep Miller
School might be competing with power programs
BY DUSTIN DOW
One of the most important aspects of Mike Bobinski's job is playing out this week.
The Xavier athletic director is trying to reward men's basketball coach Sean Miller for his recent success and at the same time persuade Miller to stay at Xavier - persuasion that might be necessary, depending on major-conference schools' interest in hiring Miller.
For Bobinski, it shouldn't be a very hard sell. Miller, 38, enjoys coaching at XU and says he has envisioned himself coaching here long-term, perhaps rearing his three young sons in Cincinnati.

Miller staying, Tubby going
XU coach gets extension while Smith's off to Minnesota
BY DUSTIN DOW | DDOW@ENQUIRER.COM
Sean Miller is staying at Xavier.
And in Lexington, it's bye-bye, Tubby Smith.
Miller, the Musketeers' basketball coach, signed a contract extension Thursday that lasts through the 2015-16 season and makes him the highest-paid coach in the Atlantic 10 Conference.
"It was our intention to have him positioned at the top of the league," Xavier athletic director Mike Bobinski said.
Miller, 38, has won 63 games in three seasons at Xavier and led the Musketeers to back-to-back NCAA Tournaments, almost pulling off an upset Saturday of No. 1 seed Ohio State.

Miller's deal is A-10's richest
BY DUSTIN DOW | DDOW@ENQUIRER.COM
Xavier got the commitment from Sean Miller Thursday that it didn't get from Thad Matta three years ago.
Miller, whose name has been linked in the past week to open coaching jobs at Minnesota, Michigan and South Florida, signed a new contract with Xavier Thursday that lasts through the 2015-16 season.
Xavier did not disclose the terms, but athletic director Mike Bobinski confirmed that the new deal made Miller the highest-paid coach in the Atlantic 10 Conference, which was one of Bobinski's goals when he began working on the deal last month. That would put Miller's annual salary somewhere in the range of $700,000-$900,000, depending on incentives.
