Arizona State hires Molly Miller

Really similar to our hire last year. I think Miller was smart to take that job versus an SEC job. SEC is a pressure cooker with a lot of really great coaches and teams right now. She’ll have a better chance and fast success in the Big 12.

Seems like you like Molly Miller as a coach.
Don't want here in SEC a sign of approvcable @chuckiepoo
I don't know much about her seen her name on here a time or two

She’s a cutie and did an impressive job at her last stop, Grand Canyon. Would not have been disappoint had AD DW gone with her instead of Kim, but I’m extremely happy with Mrs. Caldwell.

Missouri settle for Kellie on the cheap? Miller is a Missouri girl.

It very well could be that Miller enjoys living in Phoenix and wants to stay in Arizona. And let's be honest. With the wildly successful exception of Kim Mulkey, it seems to me that few coaches who come back "home" to resurrect a program are successful. Maybe there have been lots who have succeeded, but off the top of my head I can't think of any.

I don’t disagree on living in AZ over Missouri. The comment was because the poster stated ASU paid more than Missouri.

Oh, I know. Just thought I'd point out for those who may not have known GCU was in Phoenix that location may have been a factor.

We'll find out when they release her pay info. But, Miller was being considered for both Ark and Missouri and then it suddenly cooled. We know how much Ark is paying their new coach, so pay would definitely be my guess for interest elsewhere.

They’re paying Kellie $300k more than Pingeton, 5 year contract 4.5 million

75 % guaranteed if fired without clause.
Kellie owes Missouri % 50 is leaves for a different school without clause.
Looks like Kellie Harper might be around for five years at least.

There’s a lot of talk in the coaching world that a lot of schools have cooled on Miller after they conducted an interview with her the last two cycles. Tennessee and Kentucky definitely did last year. I know she interviewed with Auburn, Arkansas and Missouri this year and all of them moved on with their searches. Obviously ASU plays in a relatively easier league, will be interesting to see how these hires look in 3-4 years.

Seriously doubt that

Take a few moments to check out videos of her mic'd up during practice. She's one of the most impressive teachers I've ever seen. Really clear with her instructions while personally demonstrating what she wants. Simultaneously encouraging and demanding

Then watch video of her open practices and see the high energy drills (such as the take a charge, pop up and save loose ball by diving in the floor drill). Non-stop encouragement from coaches throughout the drill pushing athletes hard while getting teammates involved.

Then watch her enthusiastic pressers firing up the fan base.

James Harden has already pledged a lot of financial support to her program to close the NIL gap. He seems impressed by her and her multiple coaching awards and 297-55 record.
