The program does still have a lot of tradition, it's in a major TV market, and it is in a historically premier basketball conference. I do think that with the right approach the Athletic Department could have lured a top candidate like Miller, but I think they are screwing it up. So who knows what will happen.

Rumor is that Miller only entertained Maryland's interest to squeeze more money out of Arizona. He's got 4 of 5 players coming back from a team that went to the Elite 8.

Mike Brey didn't even want to talk to Maryland, which is pretty telling. Plus the Big East is a better conference than the ACC and has been for a few years now. Why would any of those guys want to leave?
