Arizona basketball: Sean Miller named as a semifinalist for Naismith Coach of the Year Award

Has anybody done a better job coaching their team than Sean Miller this season?

Perhaps not.

The Arizona Wildcats’ head coach is one of 10 semifinalists for the Naismith Coach of the Year award, it was announced Friday.

Here is the full list:

Miller’s case for the award is simple: despite losing Ray Smith and Terrance Ferguson before the season began and having leading returning scorer Allonzo Trier miss the first 19 games with a suspension, Arizona sits at 26-4 and 15-2 in the Pac-12, with a chance to win a share of the Pac-12 title, should they beat ASU on Saturday.
