Miller’s Illness Sidelines Him from Arizona State’s NCAA Tournament Run

Tempe, Ariz. — On March 18, 2026, Arizona State women’s basketball coach Molly Miller did not travel to Iowa with the team. School officials cited an illness as the reason for her absence.

Arizona State hopes Miller can rejoin the team in time for its First Four matchup. The Sun Devils face Virginia on Thursday in Iowa City.

Onsite coaching responsibilities

Associate head coach Stephanie Norman will manage most onsite preparations. Norman spent 18 years on the coaching staff at Louisville.

She steps into a larger role while Miller is away. The staff and players will follow the usual game routines.

Tournament context and background

Arizona State is in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2019, Miller’s first season. The program reached the field again under the current staff.

Miller previously led Grand Canyon to its first NCAA appearance in 2025. She then moved across town to Arizona State.

Miller’s illness sidelines her from Arizona State’s NCAA Tournament run for now. The situation is described as temporary by school officials.
