Texas fires coach Rodney Terry, targets Xavier's Sean Miller as replacement

The University of Texas has fired head men's basketball coach Rodney Terry following a disappointing season that ended with a loss to Xavier in the First Four of the NCAA Tournament. Terry's tenure included a promising start with a 22-8 record and an Elite Eight appearance in his first season, but the team struggled with a 19-16 finish this year. Reports indicate that Xavier's Sean Miller, who recently eliminated Texas from the tournament, is expected to be named the new head coach. Miller has a strong coaching record, including multiple NCAA Tournament appearances and notable success at both Xavier and Arizona. This decision marks a continued search for stability in Texas basketball, as Terry became the latest in a series of coaching changes since Rick Barnes was let go in 2015. The Longhorns are now seeking to establish a new direction for the program under Miller's leadership.
