Scoop: ASU set to extend women's hoops coach Molly Miller

• A spokesperson for ASU's athletic department declined to comment on the proposed contract.

Catch up quick: After five straight seasons without a winning record, ASU hired Miller away from Grand Canyon University before the 2025-26 season.

• Miller initially signed for a five-year contract worth a little more than $4 million (excluding bonuses) that expires in April 2030.

The latest: An item up for action in the next meeting of the Arizona Board of Regents, which oversees the state's public universities, shows that ASU is seeking to extend Miller's contract by an extra year and bump her salary and performance bonuses.

• Miller was set to make $3.3 million over the next four seasons under her current contract.
• The proposed extension would raise her salary in several seasons and add an extra year worth $1 million, paying her a total of $4.45 million over the next five years.

What's inside: The agenda item for Miller's proposed extension includes several points in favor of the deal:

• Miller "implemented her recruiting and development model leading to a 75% change" to the team's roster, resulting in a tournament berth.
• The ASU women's team set single-game and season attendance records last season.
• The number of season ticket holders increase by more than 100% year over year, and broadcast viewership increased 53%.

What's next: The Board of Regents is set to vote to approve or deny the extension on Thursday.
