Reports: Xavier's Sean Miller to be named Texas coach
Miller, 56, was in his second stint at Xavier and took the Musketeers to the NCAA Tournament this season. After winning its First Four game against the Longhorns, 86-80, 11th-seeded Xavier seed lost 86-73 to No. 6 Illinois in the first round.
Over his eight seasons at Xavier (2004-09, 2002-23) and 12 seasons at Arizona (2009-21), Miller has a 487-196 career record.
His teams have made 13 NCAA Tournament appearances with a 22-13 record.
He would replace Rodney Terry, who was fired Sunday after a 62-37 record and three NCAA tourneys in three seasons since taking over from Chris Beard on an interim basis in 2022. He led the Longhorns to the Elite Eight in 2023, but they could not duplicate the success.
Texas finished the season 19-16 overall, 6-12 and in 13th place in its first season in the Southeastern Conference.
The Musketeers were 22-12 (13-7 Big East).
Miller was fired from Arizona after the Wildcats missed the NCAA Tournament in 2021 and amid an investigation into the program. Arizona was accused of five Level I rules violations.
As an assistant coach, Miler worked at Miami (Ohio), Pitt, North Carolina State and Xavier before being named to coach the Musketeers following the departure of Thad Matta.

Frustrations abound as Guardians visit Diamondbacks
August 18 - Two teams with separate hills to climb in their pursuit of the postseason will open a three-game series on Monday night when the Cleveland Guardians visit the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix. Arizona's Zac Gallen (9-12, 5.31 ERA) is expected to oppose Cleveland's Gavin Williams (7-4, 3.38) in a battle of right-handers on Monday. The Guardians have been among the hottest teams in the American League since July 7, going 23-12, but they were swept over the weekend at home by Atlanta. Cleveland resides 3 1/2 games behind the New York Yankees in the race for the final wild-card spot in the American League. "Go get 'em tomorrow," Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said. "It was a frustrating weekend for all of us. We know we need to play better. We know we need to continue to work and continue to fight. So let's get right back out there and let's get back in the win column and get on another run." The Diamondbacks had won six of seven games before losing the final three contests of a four-game set in Colorado. They trail the New York Mets by 6 1/2 games for the final wild-card spot in the National League. "We're frustrated," Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. "Nobody's happy with what happened out there. We have to figure it out. As fast as you get into things, you get out of it. We can reverse it and get back in it. "We're not going to climb back into this race in one series at Coors Field. We know that. But I want us to play good baseball." Gallen has been appreciably better since the July 31 trade deadline, going 2-0 with a 3.18 ERA in 17 innings. After leading the league in walks in the first half of the season, he has given up only 10 in his last eight starts. "You talk about determination and maybe like a little chip on his shoulder," Lovullo said. "He doesn't want to have the type of year that is going to be anything close to average. "He's got a championship mentality, and I think he just grew tired of pitching the way that he was. He drew a line in the sand and said, 'This is my time and I'm going to go out there and start to pitch more like myself.' And it's translated." Gallen is 2-0 with a 4.12 ERA in three career starts against Cleveland. Jose Ramirez is 5-for-9 with a homer and three RBIs against him, and Steven Kwan is 4-for-9 with a double and a triple. Williams took a no-hitter into the ninth inning of the Guardians' 4-1 victory over the New York Mets on Aug. 6 before Juan Soto homered. Williams left with two outs in the inning after throwing a career-high 126 pitches. His streak of four quality starts ended in his most recent outing, when he lasted three innings in a 13-4 home loss to Miami on Wednesday. Williams gave up four runs on five hits, including two homers. "The whole body was a little fatigued," he said. "But it's still no excuse. No matter what, I should have done better than what I did." Williams, who leads the majors with 67 walks, has yet to face the Diamondbacks in his career. --Field Level Media

Four-run seventh propels Rockies past Diamondbacks
August 17 - Mickey Moniak capped a four-run seventh inning with a two-run single, Ezequiel Tovar and Ryan Ritter had two hits each, and the Colorado Rockies rallied to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-5 in Denver on Sunday. Warming Bernabel also had two hits, Anthony Molina (1-1) tossed an inning of relief and Juan Mejia picked up his first career save after making a leaping catch of Ketel Marte's popup to end the game. The Rockies rallied in the seventh inning against reliever Jake Woodford (0-3). Bernabel singled, Woodford hit Braxton Fulford and Hunter Goodman to load the bases with one out. Ritter singled home the first two and after a groundout advanced Goodman and Ritter, Moniak gave Colorado a 5-4 lead with a two-run single. Fulford added an RBI double in the eighth. Corbin Carroll homered among his two hits, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. also went deep and Jake McCarthy had and Alek Thomas had three hits each for Arizona, which didn't reward journeyman Nabil Crismatt's spot start. The D-backs loaded the bases with one out in the ninth and got a run on James McCann's sacrifice fly. With runners on second and third, Ketel Marte hit a popup in the infield that Mejia held onto despite colliding with first baseman Bernabel. Crismatt didn't allow a baserunner until Tovar's two-out single in the fourth and Colorado got to him in the fifth inning on Orlando Arcia's two-out RBI single to right. He allowed one run on three hits and struck out five in five innings. Rockies starter Antonio Senzatela, who was activated from the 15-day injured list, left after five shutout innings but was denied the win when Carroll led off the sixth with a 474-foot homer off of Luis Peralta, his 27th of the season. Gurriel followed with his 16th home run of the season and McCarthy singled to end Peralta's day after three batters. Dugan Darnell gave up a single to Tyler Locklear, McCarthy stole third and scored when Arcia misplayed the throw from Fulford. Locklear scored on a single by Thomas to cap the rally and give Arizona a 4-1 lead. --Field Level Media

'Not normal for a young guy' - Inside Lennon Miller's rise to Serie A amid comparisons to €28m man
The Scotland international has left boyhood club Motherwell for Italian top flight stalwarts Udinese Sign up to our Football newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

Some might say the only surprise over Lennon Miller's transfer to Serie A outfit Udinese is that it took so long for him to get there. Speak to anybody who's been around, played with or coached the latest Scottish export to Italy, and the timing is just like his style on the pitch. Calculated, precise and mapped out within an inch of its life. That is how the teenager dictated play in the Motherwell midfield, a club that has just sold him for a record-breaking fee, a place he's called home since the age of seven and that has helped him deal with plenty that few his age have. He lost his mum, Donna, who passed in 2012 after having cancer. At five years old, Miller sought an escape in football and built a mentality that matured him beyond his formative years. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad "That's probably one of the biggest aspects of his development, his mental side of it," said Fir Park academy director David Clarkson, who came across Miller at under-13 level. 'His approach to his journey, his approach to progressing, how mature he's been from a young age. Even back then and that young, he had a level head on him. He's dealt with a lot through his life, and he was just so down to earth and so willing to learn and helpful. Probably mature beyond his years.' How Lennon Miller made himself a top talent It was clear before his Motherwell debut at the age of 16 against Inverness Caledonian Thistle in August 2022 that this was to be arguably the Steelmen's hottest academy product. No mean feat from a system that's produced fellow Scotland internationalists James McFadden, David Turnbull, Max Johnston and many others. So when did the wider football audience get a whiff of what those in ML1 had sensed for years? It wasn't a debut where he became the youngest-ever player in Motherwell's 139-year history, not his senior Scotland bow, neither turning Celtic captain Callum McGregor inside-out with a roulette spin at the age of 17 or skippering Motherwell at Hampden against Rangers, but on a summer's day away at Elgin City. It had come about thanks to a Jamie Murphy summer. Never heard of that phenomenon? Allow this scribe to explain. The ex-Brighton, Rangers and Hibs attacker plus current Ayr United veteran was an emerging Motherwell talent and netted his first goal during a 2-0 win away at Hibs in 2008. There was some doubt over his ability to handle the physical side of the game until he beefed up over that summer and went on to make 213 Motherwell appearances, becoming the club's record European goalscorer before moving to Sheffield United. So as Miller came back from his debut season with a demeanour that looked 26 and not 16, it set the scene for a breakout campaign two years ago, starting with a well-taken strike in victory at Borough Briggs. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad "I think his face had even changed," former teammate Dan Casey recalled. 'He just looked a bit older. I'm sure he put in a lot of work that off-season, because it definitely showed.' "That kind of moment for me just stood out," Clarkson said of his goal on League Cup duty. 'I think that moment for me was 'that's the boy.' Everything was there, and we'd seen it for years and just hoped he got the opportunity and hoped he did progress.' Every press conference, every time a pundit discussed Motherwell, every time the club was brought up in passing conversation, Miller was the centre of it all. For Michael Wimmer arriving as Motherwell manager with zero Scottish football experience last February, he got very accustomed to the teenager before his hasty exit in May amid personal circumstances. Enzo Millot comparison Having managed at Austria Wien and coached in the Bundesliga with Augsburg then Stuttgart, he's used to working alongside elite talent. Miller ranks in his five-man VIP club of players that includes Enzo Millot, Tottenham defender Kevin Danso, Juventus' Argentine international Nico Gonzalez and Wolves forward Sasa Kalajdzic. If you're not acquainted with French midfielder Millot, Stuttgart sold him days before Miller's Udinese move at a cool price of €28 million to Saudi side Al-Ahli. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Lennon is in the top five talents I've worked with,' said Wimmer, who now manages German third-tier side Jahn Regensburg. 'In the six position to compare it with Lennon, it's perhaps Enzo who is similar to him. Lennon played without mistakes. If he had 100 passes, he completed 99 passes to the teammate. This is not normal for a young guy.' Wycombe Wanderers defender Casey had a front-row seat to striker Evan Ferguson's rise at Irish side Bohemians before switching to Brighton, now with Roma. He'll be a keen observer of Udinese's battles versus I Giallorossi this season in Italy's top flight, but Miller's emergence brought flashbacks while the Irishman was in Lanarkshire. The only thing Miller seemingly didn't do at Motherwell was pull his weight in car schooling alongside Stephen O'Donnell and Calum Butcher. Given he was 16 when Casey shared one with him, it wasn't too shocking. 'I think he actually got away with murder,' Casey joked. 'Time went on, and I ended up not being in his car school, so he probably didn't have to drive much for me. I'll get some petrol money off him in the future! I've been around players that have been in high demand. With Lennon, it was sort of every transfer window that there were new names coming into the pot. I was with Evan Ferguson and he was breaking into the first team at 14 or 15. He was generational. He was so big at that age that he could actually break in at such a young age, which is crazy to think. 'He started coming up and training with us towards the end of my time there. I was only there for the last couple of months when he'd made his debut and stuff. I've obviously been with Lennon the last few years and I was even younger when I was with Evan. I was thinking to myself, these lads are breaking in at this age, they're going to go on to have serious careers. Both of them, I've no doubt, will do." Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad How will Lennon Miller fare in Serie A? So what's next for Scotland's latest import to Italy after the likes of Billy Gilmour, Scott McTominay, Lewis Ferguson and an ever-expanding list of Scots making their name abroad? Away from the bright lights of Milan, Rome and Turin with Udinese, who have been in the top flight since the 1995/1996 season, there will be an opportunity to grow into the superstar many hope he can be. Wimmer's knowledge of new manager Kosta Runjaic from his time in Germany gives him confidence that Miller's short time working under his high-tempo tactics can prove beneficial to adapting abroad. Scottish football will hope he is correct.
