What They’re Saying about Sean Miller …
“Sean Miller’s passion, mind for the game and ability to develop players into winners is at a level that makes him one of the best coaches in the country. That’s seen in two primary ways in my opinion; he has won over 71-percent of the games he’s coached in, and he’s produced the second-most NBA players of any coach in the sport in the last 20 years with 27. Sean only knows one speed and it’s seen with the intensity that his teams play with. Defense and rebounding are not optional – they are required under Coach Miller. I believe he will restore the toughness to Texas Men’s Basketball that sends the program into a special era as consistently one of the best programs in the incredibly deep Southeastern Conference. Beyond the coach that Sean is, he takes pride in being active in the community with the fanbase because he has an extraordinary love for the game himself. Sean is a hoops junkie, something I saw in my year with him in the media world on The Field of 68, and his energy will be felt throughout all of the Austin community and beyond. This is a program-changing hire by the Longhorns, one that sets them up for deep runs in March for years to come because the track record of Sean is in a special class and he has an unrelenting work ethic.”
John Fanta, FOX Sports national college basketball broadcaster and writer
“I’ve known Sean Miller since he was 18 years old. He’s always been dedicated to the sport in a way few are. As much time as he spent mastering his skills as a boy and a teen, it would have been easy to fall out of love with basketball. He keeps putting more and more into it, benefiting his players and teams – and the fans who watch.”
Mike DeCourcy, The Sporting News college basketball columnist
“Sean Miller is a respected, winning basketball coach. He has built a sustainable culture with a championship vision wherever he has been, and he is a very skilled teacher and tactician. Sean is a basketball lifer that brings high level, winning experience to the Forty Acres.”
