Richard Pitino is taking the head coaching position at Xavier, leaving New Mexico after four seasons. An agreement was finalized and officially announced on Tuesday night.
Pitino, 42, will replace Sean Miller, who left the Musketeers to become the head coach at Texas. Miller went 65-40 in his second stint at Xavier with two NCAA tournament bids. The Musketeers lost their first-round game versus Illinois in this year's tourney.
At New Mexico, Pitino compiled an 88-49 record in Albuquerque with two NCAA tournament berths, a regular season Mountain West championship and conference tournament title.
