However, weeks before the season would commence, he announced his retirement, and Russ Pennell was named the interim head coach.The Wildcats started off with a 9-3 mark that included wins overGonzaga and Kansas.

Conference play brought Arizona back to earth, losing five of its first seven Pac-10 games.The stepping on of Chase Budinger's face by Houston's Aubrey Coleman sparked the Wildcats to a seven-game winning streak. Conversely, the team earned a controversial at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament after losing five ofsix contests. The Wildcats responded to the critics by defeatingUtah and Cleveland State before losing to Louisville.After initially turning down the position, Sean Miller decided to become the nexthead coach of the Wildcats.Unlike Budinger and Jordan Hill, Nic Wise decided to say in school for his senior season. Despite getting a late start on the recruiting trail, Miller was able to secure a strong incoming class. Projected Starting LineupPG Nic Wise, 5'10", 180 lbs., Sr. (15.7 PPG, 2.5 RPG, 4.6 APG, 1.5 SPG, 45 FG, 85 FT)There might not be a point guard in the country that is more important to the success of his team than Wise.Not only does Wise probably have to lead the Wildcats in scoring, he also has to keep his teammates involved while logging extensive minutes.

Being the only senior on the team, Wise's leadership skills are invaluable.Wise can carry a team with his ability to drive to the basket and to make the long-range basket. (6.1 PPG, 2.5 RPG, 1.7 APG, 45 FG, 79 FT)Fogg had a solid freshman season but will be looked upon to take a more active role in the offense this time around.Fogg can score effectively in the paint and possesses a smooth release on his jump shot. He is also developing into a devastating defender. SF Solomon Hill, 6'6", 230 lbs., Fr.ESPNU ranked Hill as the 54th best recruit in the nation. He averaged 16.2 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 5.1 assists as a senior at Fairfax High School in Los Angeles, CA.Despite his large frame, Hill has the ability to break down defenders off the dribble. He is a unselfish player that plays the game in asimilar vein as a point guard.Hill is a strong rebounder for his size but needs to work on his jumper. PF Jamelle Horne, 6'7", 215 lbs., Jr. (6.8 PPG, 5.1 RPG, 1.3 APG, 43 FG, 64 FT)Nobody on the roster fits the mode of a typical power forward, so Horne will probably inherit the position by default at thebeginning of the season.Horne is long and athletic but is not much of a perimeter player. He should become a successful scorer with the ability of Wise to push the ball up the court. C Kyryl Natyazhko, 6'10", 255 lbs., Fr.Originally from the Ukraine, Natyazhko averaged 21.0 points and 9.0 rebounds at IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL. Rivals rated him as the ninth best center prospect in the country.Natyazhko is comfortable in both the low and high-post areas.
