While Sean Miller was being introduced as one of the Big East’s new coaches, Emanuel “Book” Richardson was overseeing a workout in the South Bronx.
While Sean Miller was being introduced Tuesday at Madison Square Garden as one of the Big East’s new men’s basketball coaches, Emanuel “Book” Richardson was overseeing a workout roughly 8 miles north at Gaucho Gym in the South Bronx.
Sean Miller, who was coaching Arizona when the school was embroiled in the 2017 federal investigation into college basketball corruption, has been hired to return as head coach for Big East school Xavier, while his former assistant Book Richardson spent time in prison and still can’t find a new job in college hoops.“Hopefully, someone just understands that I can help them win basketball games on and off the court, I can cultivate talent and I can coach.
Asked if he had to explain to Xavier decision-makers what happened at Arizona, Miller said, “they know who I am.” One Big East assistant coach said Miller’s hiring shows winning trumps all, while another said, “everyone in our office doesn’t understand why this guy deserves a job after what happened.”Big East commissioner Val Ackerman noted that each school has the freedom to hire whatever coaches it deems fit, but the league didn’t object to the move.Richardson, meanwhile, currently serves as the boys basketball director of the Bronx-based Gauchos AAU program.
