Get ready, hoops fans, this week on The Starting Lineup, we’re sitting down with one of the brightest rising stars in college basketball: Molly Miller, Arizona State’s first-year head coach, fresh off her 300th career win and an impressive 4–0 start with the Sun Devils.

Miller opens up about the real reasons she chose ASU, from planting deep family roots in Phoenix to taking on a program poised to make noise in a wide-open Big 12. With her trademark intensity, humor, and humility, she breaks down her defensive-first identity, the early “buy-in” from her squad, and what it truly means to rebuild the right way.
She also brings us back to iconic moments like the legendary “Molly Miracle,” shares how her high school coach shaped her entire philosophy, and reflects on why she picked the sidelines over the corporate world. It’s candid, inspiring, and a clear window into the mind of a coach who’s not just chasing wins, she’s building a legacy.
