Arizona State Coaches Who Will Shape Future

3. Molly Miller

Arizona State women's basketball became one of the most relevant teams in the old PAC-12 under former head coach Charli Turner-Thorne before running into a rough patch over the course of the 2020's decade.

The hiring of Miller as head coach of the program revitalized interest virtually instantaneously, with the former Grand Canyon head coach overhauling the culture from very early on in the tenure. The Sun Devils returned to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the 2018-19 season in March and are now regrouping with an elite transfer portal class.

The Sun Devils are now positioned to compete in the Big 12 for years to come, with Miller playing an integral role.

2. Randy Bennett

Bennett, 63, has already reshaped Arizona State men's basketball in the manner that he wishes over the last four weeks - overhauling the previous philosophy that was held by Bobby Hurley.

Arizona State has a very real chance to go from being projected to finish dead last in the Big 12 last season to a possible top-half projection in the season ahead - in large part due to the addition of high-level players such as Paulius Murauskas, as well as the hiring of an all-star coaching staff.

Bennett is now set to lead Arizona State into a new era, amid an arena renovation and the program's further entrenchment in the Big 12. There is a real opportunity for the Hall-of-Fame-level coach to take the program to heights rarely seen before.

1. Kenny Dillingham

Dillingham is perhaps the coach that will eventually go down as the most consequential in the history of Sun Devil athletics at-large.

The 36-year-old rebuilt Arizona State in less than two full years, has played a role in putting a new state-of-the-art indoor practice facility into motion, and has now led a booster to place a record donation into a football coaching endowment.

This is just the beginning for Sun Devil football - Dillingham's leadership isn't only driving football forward as the years go on, he's also setting the template for how other programs should operate over the next several years.
