Miller has posted a 188-61 record at Arizona (with five NCAA Tournament appearances) after going 120-47 in five seasons at Xavier (four tournament appearances). His Wildcats were eliminated by Wichita State in the first round of this year's tournament.
Pitt is in the market for a replacement for Jamie Dixon, who officially was announced as the new head coach at TCU -- his alma mater -- on Tuesday. Dixon had spent the past 13 seasons at Pittsburgh, guiding the team to 11 NCAA Tournament appearances.
