P10 Media Day: Arizona's Sean Miller

On coming to Arizona:
"I'm excited to be here. People have asked me time and time again about leaving Xavier to come to Arizona, and one of the reasons I did it was to coach in a conference of this factor. The incredible success that teams have had in the NCAA tournament. The great coaches, the great cities. I'm excited to be the coach in a conference of this stature and in particular. It's reality here at Arizona. We have five freshmen and four sophomores. Nine scholarships are in the first two years."

On changing things at Arizona:
"To me the most important thing to do is to establish a way of doing things. How we play, how we practice, how we're aggressive in our non-conference scheduling. We've gotten a lot better in the first 10 days, but we're clearly a lot further behind in the learning curve for many reasons."

On Arizona's freshmen:
I really like our freshman class. They're a diverse group, a couple of players with great size, a couple of wing players and a combination guard.

On Nic Wise:
"Nic Wise has been terrific. He came back to college for all the right reasons. He'll be one of our conference's most experienced players, and I believe one of the best point guard in college basketball. Our style of play is really a good fit for how he plays, as well."

On Derrick Williams
"He's been one of the highlights of our preseason. One of the things that's so exciting is his body. Physically, he's much bigger than you think he is. He's not that rail-thin freshman who takes a year or two to develop physically. Very hard worker, easy to coach, bright kid. As bright of a future as anybody in our program."

On 25 straight NCAA tournament appearances:
"To me, it's the greatest positive we have. Our program takes a back seat to no other when it comes to tradition. Players who have won a national championship, been in the final four, won 10 pac-10 championships. You think about making the tournament and advancing. We've never been more vulnerable. Can that streak break this year under my watch? Absolutely. But the biggest thing for me as a new coach is to run a complete program."
