Here's a really good story on Wes Miller and his coaching philosophy that was published yesterday (March 13). Color me impressed, as he reminds me of Coach Smart. While name recognition has its merits, having the energy, ambition and vision to build a great basketball program is the most important quality we need in our next coach.

And, here's one of Miller's quotes I really liked:
“The last thing we’re trying to find, and it’s the most important if we can check those first two boxes, is we want tough, competitive dudes,” Miller says. “You have to have a DNA of winning when I watch you play. And if I don’t see that, we go in another direction. Sometimes we miss because of that. Sometimes a kid doesn’t show me he cares about winning the next possession and we misevaluate. Maybe he does have those characteristics, and he goes on to be a great player for someone else.”
