Xavier basketball parts ways with coach Travis Steele, Sean Miller reported as potential candidate to watch
"BREAKING: Xavier and head coach Travis Steele have mutually agreed to part ways effective immediately," Broering tweeted. "Xavier will start a national coaching search immediately."
Jeff Borzello reported Wednesday that Sean Miller, a former Xavier head coach in his own right, will be a “name to watch” moving forward.
Miller most recently coached at Arizona for 12 seasons before he and the university parted ways ahead of the 2021-22 campaign. The last three years of his tenure with the Wildcats were mired by allegations of recruiting violations and they even served a postseason ban in 2020-21 despite finishing the year 17-9.
Arizona last made the NCAA Tournament under Miller during the 2017-18 season after going 27-8 and winning both of the Pac-12 regular-season and tournament championships. Arizona went under investigation after a federal probe regarding corruption among NCAA schools. The situation stems from former Wildcats staffer Emanuel “Book” Richardson who pleaded guilty to accepting bribes to steer Arizona players to sports agent Christian Dawkins.
According to multiple reports, Richardson spent three months in prison for accepting bribes. Miller has been on record stating that he has not paid any prospects to attend his program. He maintained that he never will engage in that activity.
“I have never paid a recruit or prospect or their family or representative to come to Arizona,” Miller has said previously. “I never have and never will.”
