Message: [QUOTE="BillSU, post: 4574794, member: 6809"] SEAN MILLER Edited for length – but after reading, this guy has it together and is a great coach. Back at Xavier this year with a 20 – 7 record. I just hope he is not involved in paying players to play for him and have to vacate wins again. Why would he want to leave Xavier?

It reduced Arizona’s record from 32-5 to 0-5 in 2016-17 and from 27-8 to 9-8 in 2017-18, when former guard Rawle Alkins played in 18 games. Miller would vacate 50 wins in his coaching record wherever he coaches collegiately.
