One of the more baffling side-stories in the “Pitt Coaching Search 2018 — Men’s Basketball Edition,” was the purported interest from Sean Miller. The former Pitt great, local kid and present Arizona basketball coach.
Two years ago, Sean Miller openly rejected all overtures from Pitt. And there was little reason to think that anything had changed. Well, aside from the whole FBI investigation that led to the indictment of his long-time friend and assistant coach at Arizona and Xavier.
So, many questions as why Miller would suddenly be interested in Pitt. Especially now, when Pitt basketball was arguably in a worse spot then two years ago.
