CINCINNATI (WXIX) – Sean Miller is leaving Xavier Univesity to become the new head men’s basketball coach at Texas, a source confirms to FOX19 Now.
Miller, who led Xavier to an NCAA Tournament First Four victory of Texas on Wednesday, returned to Xavier in 2022 for a second stint as the Musketeer’s head coach after previously leaving XU for Arizona in 2009.
