A proven and consistent winner with 20 years of experience as a head coach at Xavier University and the University of Arizona, Sean Miller was named the 27th head coach in Men’s Basketball program history at The University of Texas on March 24, 2025.
Miller, 56, has posted a 487-196 (.713) on-court record in 20 seasons as a collegiate head coach and claimed eight regular-season conference titles and four conference tournament championships. He has guided teams to 13 NCAA Tournament appearances, including four trips to the Elite Eight and eight to the Sweet 16. Miller has compiled a 22-13 (.629) on-court record in NCAA Tournament contests, including a 13-7 mark at Arizona and 9-6 at Xavier.
Miller spent the 2022-25 seasons in his second stint as the head coach at Xavier University. He previously served as head coach at Xavier for five years. During his eight total seasons with the Musketeers, Miller compiled an overall record of 185-87 (.680). He led Xavier to six NCAA Tournament appearances, including three trips to the Sweet 16 (2008, 2009 and 2023) and one to the Elite Eight (2008).

Miller’s .713 career winning percentage ranks in a tie for sixth among active head coaches with a minimum of five years as a Division I head coach entering the 2025-26 season. His 22 career NCAA Tournament wins rank 10th among active coaches.
Miller ranks second only to current Arkansas coach John Calipari in the number of NBA players produced over the last 20 seasons. Miller has developed 27 players whom he signed and/or coached that have seen action in the NBA. Of those 27 individuals, 12 were selected in the first round of the NBA Draft, including six lottery picks. Included in the lottery picks are Deandre Ayton (No. 1 overall pick in 2018), Derrick Williams (No. 2 overall pick in 2011) and Aaron Gordon (No. 4 overall pick in 2014).
Miller currently has 10 active players in the NBA including: Deandre Ayton (Los Angeles Lakers), Aaron Gordon (Denver Nuggets), Josh Green (Charlotte Hornets), Colby Jones (Detroit Pistons), Christian Koloko (Los Angeles Lakers), Lauri Markkanen (Utah Jazz), Bennedict Mathurin (Indiana Pacers), T.J. McConnell (Indiana Pacers), Zeke Nnaji (Denver Nuggets) and Dalen Terry (Chicago Bulls). Both Gordon and Nnaji helped the Nuggets win the 2023 NBA Championship.
Miller has had 11 different players named as finalists for one of the five Basketball Hall of Fame’s prestigious positional awards. Arizona’s Stanley Johnson won the inaugural Julius Erving Small Forward of the Year Award in 2015, while Deandre Ayton of Arizona claimed the 2018 Karl Malone Power Forward of the Year Award. Miller has had three players recognized as finalists for the John R. Wooden Award and two players named as finalists for the Naismith Trophy. In addition, he coached four players who garnered Pac-12 Conference Player of the Year honors and five players who were named Pac-12 Conference Freshman of the Year.
Since becoming a collegiate head coach in 2004, every player Miller coached that has exhausted his eligibility has gone on to graduate. Through the completion of the 2024-25 academic calendar year, that number has grown to 59 graduates, including a streak of 27 straight graduates from Xavier and 32 graduates from Arizona. In 2023, Jack Nunge became the first Xavier player to earn BIG EAST Men’s Basketball Student-Athlete of the Year honors. Arizona’s Stone Gettings was named the 2020 Pac-12 Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year, and Xavier’s Brian Thornton was named the Atlantic 10 Conference Student-Athlete of the Year and earned CoSIDA Academic All-America accolades in 2005.
In addition to his success at the collegiate level, Miller has been active with USA Basketball dating back to his playing days. His first gold medal with USA Basketball came as a player in 1991, when he helped lead Team USA to the championship at the World University Games in Sheffield, England. Miller was elevated from assistant coach to head coach of the U.S. Men’s U19 National team in 2015 and guided Team USA to the gold medal at the FIBA U19 World Championship in Crete, Greece. He was named the 2015 USA Basketball National Co-Coach of the Year.
