Xavier University is expected to appoint Richard Pitino, the former New Mexico head coach, as its new basketball coach. This move comes after Pitino's standout season leading the Lobos to a 27-8 record and a second-round NCAA tournament appearance. He replaces Sean Miller, recently announced as Texas' new head coach. Pitino, who has had a successful coaching tenure, is recognized for his ability to bring teams to the NCAA tournament, highlighting his strength as a candidate amid interest from other programs.
Pitino's recent success with New Mexico, taking them to the NCAA tournament twice and securing a Mountain West title, solidifies his reputation as a top coaching candidate.
Replacing Sean Miller, Pitino brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record, having previously led Minnesota to NCAA tournament appearances.
