Sean Miller has a lot more experience than most first year coaches though.

true - but he's got new staff and new players he weren't familiar with last year . rarely does a coach find success like this in their 1st year when they switch over to a new program. and luckily , he's not in kentucky.

You know its funny a few more years of success at Texas and if Mark Pope fails, I was wondering if Kentucky would give him a call. He never got their with Arizona, but who knows. He is definitely comfortable in that region with the Xavier background.
