I get it, 97. That all makes sense. Thanks.

I just hate to see Miller get this treatment. Doesn't seem right.

This is the only thing that is truly frustrating about this. Arizona is pushed as the face of this, but the reality isn't that players are choosing between Arizona money and a free scholarship with no outside benefits at Duke, UNC, KY, KU, etc.

Heck, Josh Jackson's mom got paid by two shoe companies and an agent, and that's only based on ASM's records. Did he get more from the agent he signed with or KU? Billy Preston got quietly ushered aside after the free car, and that's just the last two years of KU ball. Add guys with "interesting" recruitments like Malik Newman, and tell me what it is.

This is endemic. I can take being a major player. I can't deal with a whitewashing to allege we're the only player.

Seriously, 97? You're ready to close the book on the Miller era?
ive thought this was the last season for Miller since September - what i didnt know what was the perception of him among many folks that fly at a different altitude than me.

a cocktail party here an xmas party there and its easy for me to understand why Bilas and Greenberg jumped on his ass prematurely, the narrative inside college sports is that Miller is dirty, he just cheats better than anyone else.

is this true? i dont know about to that extent, but as soon as people smelled one drop of blood it was pile on time, and i tell you that because off the record thats the reputation he has inside and around college basketball.

so, am i ready to close the book (no pun intended)? im not sure.

but i can tell you i could care far less about him leaving now than i did any year before this season - i just dont want him to leave like Todd Bozemon with shit stain trail.

thats why im praying he gets through these next few days and finds his way back onto the court...thats what all AZ fans should be hoping for.
Sounds like people became jealous of Sean, he was the golden boy, cool, got the best recruits, always played it off casual. Funny, before Arizona at a small school, he was considered clean. So he played hardball against K, Self, etc. I can see those "execs" planting the seed against Miller. Waiting for this moment.

Funny, how many have come to his defense in the coaching elite? When you know damn well they pay for recruits.
Right now, I don't know if any coach will stick his neck out. Miller's friends in the pros have supported more, but in college, the underlying scandal is wide enough that no one wants to be sucked into it.
Naa, even Calipari hasn't offered a word like "let's see the facts before deciding." Didn't the royal coaches all cut Boheim slack when his pedophile coach was busted?

Fuck, Bernie Fine pedo and the same calls for him to resign..

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/9666 ... l-explodes" target="_blank

Didn't Boheim get busted after too?

Yet, that fuck bag is still coaching.

Miller needs to keep coaching because fuck you (not you personally), that's why.

Bosy, the difference with Boeheim's pedo scandal is that no one else was concerned they'd be complicit. This time, the first guy to speak up invites scrutiny on his own program.

I think ESPN ran with it early without vetting properly to get there first. Not sure if it to help the NCAA, but I dont dismiss it. Interesting idea, thanks for sharing

Next thought; does Sean Miller have a dead man switch; if he gets canned does he have the reach, resources, and evidence to take as many down with him as he can?

Is he weaponized against the current system? (I need to take a break from all of this)

ESPN is in a position of need as well, they're bleeding subscribers and viewers.

It's just notable that this seems like an active effort to reshape the narrative from overall corruption to one where Miller is the rogue actor.

Re: Sean Miller

I have little doubt in my mind that Sean Miller has cheated numerous times. I frankly don't care.

Saying that, Sean Miller has not been sloppy and this would be incredibly sloppy considering Dawkins is a nobody. The only connections that he truly has/had is in the Michigan basketball scene bc of who his dad is, and the few Andy Miller guys he could have helped with. Outside of that, you have some asst NCAA coaches, AAU coaches, and other guys that are trying to make it like him. Most of them are just low level coaches in small schools or the AAU program. I don't believe he succeeded much outside of the Michigan scene. Even his lawyer is a "shady" Michigan guy who has long been connected to the scene. He just doesn't have the resources to go much outside of that scene and he became the fall guy because of how sloppy he is.

This is a kid who couldn't even google Marty Blazer, of course his digital footprint is damning. I don't want to get into too many specifics of the players he tried to get to know bc he might have failed, and never even talked to them. I will say that I have failed to find ONE connection to Ayton.

From what I've found, he has definite connections to the following UofA guys or guys that have worked under Miller in the past:

Kaleb Tarczewski (Was at one time an Andy Miller client. I assume he knows Dawkins at least a little bc Dawkins def knows Andy Miller's clients from the same draft class)

Members of the Wise family (Not surprising that he would know some of them considering AAU)

Laval Lucas Perry (Mich guy, not surprising)

Book Richardson (FBI)


The following is a list of people he MIGHT know that are UofA guys or guys that have worked under Miller in the past.

1 current Xavier asst coach
2 or 3 former or current UofA asst coaches (this does not include Book)


The assistant coach possible connections are troubling but he knows a lot of asst coaches. The good part is that any of the players/coaches he has REAL connections to have not sniffed Arizona. That's not to say that he even paid some of those guys as he was a guy struggling for money, and could have easily told someone at ASM he paid a player or a family member and never did.


So after going through some stuff online, it is my assumption that he likely never talked to Miller or any head coaches on the phone. They are just too big time for him. It is also my assumption that the probability that he has been around an Arizona practice once or twice, is very high.

It is definitely possible that the "leak" could have been put out by his lawyer who has constantly brought up the fact that there are big fish the FBI needs to go after. I'm not so sure though. It seems like the 2 Adidas executives that were indicted would benefit more and/or have possible grudges.

Don't see how this turns out well for us. Miller should go balls to the wall on this season if we can get trier back. Then we start 2 or 3 year rebuild. This sucks.

If Miller is fired, he'll probably take some much needed time off. I definitely don't think his coaching career is over, especially if he's vindicated, as he expects to be. Give it a year or two, he'll re-surface somewhere.

Doesn't strike me as the Judas type.

More like a "Never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut" guy.

Seriously doubt he goes out in a blaze of glory when he can just go get a gig in the pros.

I'd be shocked if it's an attorney. In addition to legal consequences for leaking wiretaps, it really doesn't help a case.

If anything, it strengthens the conspiracy, which makes it so odd that it isn't in the FBI complaint.

About time someone grew some balls! Matt DuCourcy or Doug Gottlieb should be spearheading this, but they don't want to make enemies for future career prospects. Cowards.

1. The leak was timed to deflect from Yahoo
2. Known it's poorly sourced, lacks credibility, designed amd worded to not just deflect, but take down Miller's career.
3. The coordinated attacks by the talking heads are nothing but talking points given to them to inflict maximum damage.
4. The geriatric monarchs want Miller gone.
5. No unaffiliated but credible journalist will pursue this for fear of ruining future career prospects.
6. Camp Miller and Arizona know this and are treading carefully to respond, like WUSSIES, rather than hit them back harder with truth bombs about the industry.
7. Bonus: ESPN sat on this story for months waiting for the perfect time to deflect and/or destroy Miller

Assistant? Not hard to imagine him being an NBA head coach. Quin Snyder? That guy was an awful college coach, got busted for cheating, and now he's thriving in the pros.

My concern is that ABOR and UA decide it is all just too much. The implication of what Miller is being accused of itself may be something that the Arizona "powers that be” just say, "we are sorry and don't disbelieve you, but under the circumstances, we feel it is best if we part ways..."

I sure hope not.

Why do I feel like Sean Miller is bout to come back and coach Thursday. Trier gets re-instated and we get to the first final four in 15 years because of a pissed Trier, Miller, and Ayton. Just a weird feeling I've been getting god I hope it's right because if Sean does come back he has his work cut out for him for awhile to get back to the top of college ball.

I don't know what to think. I am a huge supporter of Miller. I have always viewed him as a smart and calculated individual. So personally speaking to Dawkins would paint a totally opposite picture of Miller than I had painted.

Ayton's family lawyer stated ayton spoke to the FBI more than 6 months ago. There is no way Miller, nor the university, Didn't know of that interview(s). Wouldn't he be sweating through his shirt again? That interview must taken place before Book gets arrested. Then, Book gets busted and Miller doubled down and the university backs him. Then, the alleged wiretap breaks and Miller tripled down.

Either Miller and the University know more than what's out or Miller's balls are much bigger than his brain.

However, this silence is becoming deafening. It has been more than 48 hours since the university comment.

You may very well be right. Follow the money, both get tons of money from the status quo and both would lose tons and possibly fail to exist if things get cleaned up.

Good always wins in the end. Trust in that.

I know its stupid, it I’m still holding out hope that Miller is working with the feds. That is the only reason why having a conversation with Dawkins about a player already on campus makes sense.

No way miller is so greedy (100k is chump change for him) that he’d risk his career to deliver ayton to ASM.

A boy can hope.

The University can't just up and say anything even in defense of Miller. There are so many legal hurdles and what not, I wouldn't be shocked if its operation shutdown until 5 minutes before tip-off if not longer.


Anyways, to the doom and gloomers who think we're about to be Chernobyl... It's all good, we'll be back to paying top notch recruits before you know it and ESPN will get to make its dough on the redemption in the desert.

1. The leak was timed to deflect from Yahoo - i dont think so, but it was rushed to keep up with the Jones's, and resulted in inaccuracies.
2. Known it's poorly sourced, lacks credibility, designed amd worded to not just deflect, but take down Miller's career. i dont think so
3. The coordinated attacks by the talking heads are nothing but talking points given to them to inflict maximum damage. maybe, i cant say
4. The geriatric monarchs want Miller gone. who is this exactly??
5. No unaffiliated but credible journalist will pursue this for fear of ruining future career prospects. not sure but the initial reporting was beyond irresponsible
6. Camp Miller and Arizona know this and are treading carefully to respond, like WUSSIES, rather than hit them back harder with truth bombs about the industry. dont know
7. Bonus: ESPN sat on this story for months waiting for the perfect time to deflect and/or destroy Miller dont know but the sloppy and inaccurate reporting leads me to think otherwise and hence the knee-jerk reaction.

I still remember Roy Williams making a totally unsubstantiated claim that Billy Donovan must've cheated to land Mike Miller because why would a Dakota kid spurn Kansas for Florida. That's kinda how I feel Miller is looked at.
