When Billy Donovan accepted Sam Presti’s offer to become the Oklahoma City Thunder’s head coach, two coaching positions opened up: at Florida and at USA basketball.

The former is expected to be filled sometime this summer. The latter has reportedly been filled.

According to Adam Zagoria, Arizona’s Sean Miller will take over for Donovan as the head coach of USA basketball’s U19 team, which is set to compete in the U19 World Championship in late June.

"Arizona’s Sean Miller will take over as coach of the @usabasketball U19s for the Worlds this summer, source tells @SNYtv. Ed Cooley one asst," SNY's Adam Zagoria reported on Twitter. "Billy Donovan had been the @usabasketball U19 coach and Miller had been an assistant."

This is a pretty nice recruiting advantage for Miller, who will get to coach some of the top young basketball talent in the world.

The FIBA U19 World Championship is set to take place June 27-July 5 in Greece.
