Texas Longhorns Hire Sean Miller as New Head Basketball Coach

The University of Texas at Austin has officially appointed Sean Miller as the new head coach for the Longhorns men's basketball team, following the dismissal of Rodney Terry after three seasons.

Sean Miller, previously known for his tenure at the University of Arizona, brings a wealth of experience and a successful track record to Austin. His hiring comes after Texas fired Rodney Terry, a move that was speculated upon after the Longhorns' inconsistent performance during recent seasons.

The announcement was made by the university's athletic director, Chris Del Conte, who expressed confidence in Miller's ability to lead the team to new heights.
