Because he totally blew up all his recruiting connections on the west coast which is a big part of why UCLA canned him.

I wonder if those boosters will ever pony up a private charter plane for him again.
One of them are solely women’s sports boosters after today.

Can’t say I blame them at all.

I’m being a little nitpicky but Adia was hired by Greg Byrne (and Weaver) a year plus before Robbins was hired. She wasn’t his hire.

Miller will be back in the NCAA Tournament by 2024. As an assistant coach??? Maybe. Choo and Olsondogg are right, Miller is NOT going to be a head coach at a P5 school anytime soon. People on this board also forget that Pitino first had to leave the country and do a coaching gig in Greece before he...

We fired a coach with a .730 win %, 5 Pac titles, 4 Elite Eights and a projected top 15 team in 2021... That is an impressive resume, but that isn't why he was fired. The FBI/NCAA investigations, the allegiance to Book Richardson, and the stink over the program over the past couple of years is why ...

I don’t know why that one makes me so sad. Lots of former and current players have voiced their opinions today but for some reason, Zeke’s statement just makes me feel awful.

I just got mine.

Doesn't say much... thanks Miller blah blah, going in another direction blah blah.

Weird, I haven’t received mine yet. Maybe my email decided anything from him should move to spam.

The Stevens’ family has given a ton of money to Gonzaga, not Lloyd specifically. I think one of their kids went there.

Every time I read Tommy Lloyd my brain says/hears Tim Floyd. I’m not sure I can get over that.

I bet you guys could convince Robbins to actually hire Shay Binion.

I was just thinking about this. Self gets lifetime contract and Miller and his staff and team get blown up before they can win too many games. Makes me so proud.

I really don’t want to lose JET Honestly if you were him, after actually living through all this with your job, future, and the kids you’ve developed relationships with hanging on the whim of Robbins, would you want to stay employed by him? I don’t want to lose him either, but I’d understand if he ...

I'd take Joey Pasternak over Lloyd... If you want a UA Alum, why not just go wild and grab Matt Brase, he'll coach em some fun basketball! 😎 Can’t hire Pasternak because he is knee deep in some of the FBI tapes. The only thing that saved him was he got out of town before any money was actually give...

I'll be interested to see how many guys stay. What happens to JT & the rest of the BB staff? I wouldn't be surprised to see the majority of the team leave. Also, forget the top level transfers showing up now I've gotta be honest, I hope players leave. Part of Robbins stringing out the process seems...

I’ve already voiced how sick I am with all of this, so I’m going to change the tone a little. My favorite Coach Sean Miller moments: The “He touched the ball” press conference, when he looked at Solomon Hill and choked up and said “My man here is Never coming back” Him huggingKevin Parrom after He p...

Ya know...Robbins and Heeke don't actually HAVE to do anything this week...or next week either...there is no looming deadline here...there is no sword of damocles hanging over them other than what the independent counsel comes out with and nothing they do this week or next week will have ANY affect...

I do think it is so ironic. Throughout all the turmoil perhaps self induced, but all the turmoil, the articles, the media commentary, the Twitter insults from all sides, the constant rumor mill, the pressure from inside and from some fans... The dude keeps working, keeps coaching snd has yet to say...

This just makes me so sick. You don’t treat a long time employee this way. And, it doesn’t just affect Sean Miller. There’s a whole bunch of assistant coaches (and families) and other staff, not to mention a bunch of 18-21 year old kids whose lives are being jerked around to stroke Robbins’ ego. Som...

I gotta say, it does make me feel all warm and fuzzy about Lloyd if there’s any truth to any of this and he’s in any kind of discussion with Robbins WHILE WE STILL HAVE A HEAD COACH.

First of all for Robbins to fire Miller BEFORE the IARP has made any kind of ruling would probably violate legal counsels advice and at this point NO ONE KNOWS what the independent committee will do. No.One. It's possible that Robbins might have some inkling, but we also have to remember that he an...

So Miller is getting fired? Strong possibility tomorrow. Lloyd isn't a totally sure thing either. This is so depressing. I'm seriously out if this is true. I think what makes this especially sad -- for me at least -- is seeing how some of my favorite posters here are taking this, even just anticipa...

I don’t think I’ve missed a game since Snowden’s last year. I even suffered through the pain before Lute. If this is true, and this is how the president treats Coach Miller, his staff, and the kids on this team, I’m out too.

I cannot be the only person bothered by the fact that Robbins is out there shopping for an assistant coach to take the job of a coach he hasn’t fired yet, a coach who is still out there repping the university, recruiting, etc. And, why would Tommy Lloyd (sounds too much like Tim Floyd), in the midd...

Did you watch the video of this event? He looked drunk or that he had a stroke while he talked.

I particularly liked his badly he stumbled over the mayor’s name.

University of Arizona was a victim per the FBI. University of Kansas was a victim per the FBI. Yep, we're dead to rights, especially after Quinerly is cleared to play at Villanova.
