Firecracker Coach Who Captivated Social Media Puts America On Edge With New Job
Molly Miller has had a wild past week.
Miller captivated the sports world last weekend when she led Grand Canyon's women's team to the WAC Tournament title and a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
She has high energy, is a proven winner and could pass as Olivia Dunne's older sister. A lethal combination!

Well, people on social media weren't the only thing paying attention to Miller's incredible run with the Lopes. Grand Canyon lost in the first round to Baylor in the women's NCAA Tournament, and Miller is now on the move.
The Arizona State Sun Devils announced Saturday that she's been tapped as the next leader of the women's basketball program in Tempe.
Something tells me that Miller is going to really elevate her stardom with the Sun Devils. I might not know many things in life, but I know when someone has the "it factor."
Miller has it in an overwhelming amount. She's the real deal after capping off a 32-3 run with Grand Canyon.

Just to recap, this is Molly Miller's March:
- WAC regular season champs
