In case you missed it, a blog commenter passed along this link in which ESPN’s Andy Katz writes:
A source close to Xavier just told me that one school, either Arizona or Virginia, called XU athletic director Mike Bobinski, but head coach Sean Miller told Bobinski to say thanks but no thanks. He said he’s staying put.
UK message boards had Miller in Lexington interviewing for the job Saturday night. WRONG.
Eyewitness accounts and at least one published report on a recuriting Web site reported that Miller was at Value City arena in Columbus last night watching Musketeer 2010 recruit JD Weatherspoon win a state title. Miller was with his son and father. All were wearing Xavier gear.
We’re slowly working our way down to 2nd tier coaches aren’t we? I’d be curious to see you write which coaches are considered/considering and the pros and cons of each (style of play, recruiting, record, etc).
Not one single coach will commit to UK until Billy Clyde Gillispie is paid his six million dollar buyout. Five ” Home Run Hitters “, as you currently phrase them (Tier One Level), have already spurned UK. Time for another second tier coach for UK. Good luck with a National Championship in the next twenty years.
Xavier beat writer: Kentucky chat boards are lighting up with “information” about Sean Miller interviewing for the post-Billy Gillispie opening. Some even said he was flying from CVG to Lexington for an interview – although Miller is still in town, per a text message. He said nothing was up.
