Offensively, he’s a lefty so he’s really comfortable using that left hand around the rim but I think he’s a guy over time that’s going to become very effective as he gets bigger and stronger. He can really run and is very mobile for a kid his size. He’s another guy that can hedge a ball screen, which is really important in today’s game. Most importantly, he just knows how to play. He has a natural feel for the game and is skilled, whether it’s in the low post or shooting 3-pointers.” I ndividual Career History SPAIN RECAP Averaged 6.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in 13.0 minutes per gMILES,ame during Dieonte Xavier’s three-game exhibition tour in Spain in the summer of 2019.

None of this is a surprise since Steele was named one of the top two recruiters Wife: Amanda in the BIG EAST Conference by Sporting News bas- Children: Winston (7) and Anderson Michael (1) ketball magazine in each of his final two seasons as a Xavier assistant.
A LOOK BACK AT THE LAST TWO YEARS Steele, 39, led XU to a 19-13 record in his second year as head coach. The year was cut short prior to post- season play by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In his debut season, Steele led XU to the second round of the 2019 National Invitation Tournament where it lost in overtime at Texas, the eventual NIT Champion. Steele, who took over a team with no returning double-figure scorers, was picked to finish sixth in the BIG EAST Conference preseason coaches poll. The Musketeers won six of their last seven regular season BIG EAST games to finish tied for third in the league standings at 9-9, a league that sent all 10 teams to postseason play.
Steele was a finalist for the Joe B. Hall National Coach of the Year Award, which is given annually to the nation’s top first-year head coach in Division I. Steele, who finished 19-16 in his first season as the Xavier head coach, led XU to eight wins in its last 11 games. All of the opponents for those 11 games were in either the NCAA Tournament or NIT fields, including seven road and neutral site games.

Steele has been a part of nine NCAA Tournament teams at Xavier, including five teams that reached at least the Sweet 16. The 2017-18 team won XU’s first BIG EAST Regular Season Championship, a school-record final AP ranking of No. 3 and the first NCAA Tournament No. 1 seed in school history.
Former Xavier head coach Sean Miller hired Steele prior to the 2008-09 season as Xavier’s Director of Basketball Operations.
