In some dark alternate timeline of reality, Tim Floyd coaches the UA men’s basketball team. Thankfully such a nightmare belongs firmly entrenched in the imagination, thanks to Floyd’s fateful decision to turn down the job offered by Jim Livengood. Livengood’s attention turned to young Xavier coach Sean Miller and now three Elite Eights, three Pac-12 championships and five first round NBA draft picks later here we are. Sean Miller is Arizona basketball.
Now in his eighth year at the helm, Miller has elevated the program back up to elite status from the dire circumstances he inherited upon taking the job.
