Arizona coach Sean Miller studying FIBA, NBA offenses during quarantine

Rather than bouncing from recruiting event to recruiting event this spring, the coronavirus crisis has allowed Arizona Wildcats head coach Sean Miller to hunker down and re-evaluate other areas of his program.

One of them is fine tuning his offensive schemes, which have often been the subject of criticism over the years for being stagnant and uncreative, even though Miller’s teams have had a top-20 offense in seven of his 11 years as Arizona’s coach.

Miller said on the latest roundtable with UA alums Matt Muehlebach and Steve Kerr that he has been studying NBA and FIBA offenses and how they consistently manufacture quality shots within a 24-second shot clock, six seconds fewer than college teams are allotted.
