Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Just saw on twitter-from Rick Broering
BREAKING: Xavier and head coach Travis Steele have mutually agreed to part ways effective immediately. Xavier will start a national coaching search immediately.

I think that is good for Xavier.

Do they go after Matta? Miller? Mac? 2/3 are dirty as hell but seem to be what their message board is praying for

Guy loses his job because they most experienced player on his team doesn't know the score of a game and fouls Butler when up 2 instead of 3.

Dash, XUP and other X fans.... looks like this was in the works for a bit and frankly it needed to be. He lost the team a while ago. Countless BB IQ bad plays and the unwillingness/ inability to adapt and adjust are evidence. X seemed to do great out of conference, but in conference, well they saw that movie before. Travis just never had the chops to change game plans and clearly couldn't adjust in game. Honestly, surprising. I thought he was a good hire when Mack left, but his sweet spot was recruiting and that is where he should have stayed.

So, seems to be a big push for Miller. Do you think the admin will go for that considering the cloud / baggage around him? Heck, if they are willing to bite the bullet on Miller, they ought to make a play for Pitino too!

Which Miller?

Sean

It's kinda funny that there are so many former successful Xavier coaches available. Xavier fans, I hope you guys get your man Sean Miller.

Wow. I can't blame X for choosing to make a change. That is a proud and relatively successful program that was falling into obscurity.


(Meanwhile... Georgetown decides to give Patrick another chance. WTF)

i didnt realize that he hadnt made the NCAA's in his 4 years at X.

Sean Miller would be great for the Big East. We don't have enough coaches who (1) sweat profusely while (2) also keeping their shirts cuffs buttoned at the wrist... so he'll be a grand slam in that regard
