So Dana Altman is a “Final 4 caliber coach”. Technically, yes. Mike Davis is a “National Semi-Final” caliber coach. And Kevin Ollie is a “National Champion” caliber coach. Either of the final 2 would definitely be available, so that is who we should go for. Neither can win conference championships, ...

Who the fuck started this dumbshit thread? Bingo. Newport bares his soul, Harvey surfaces to congratulate him. Everyone get in a circle and reach to the guy on your right. Total horseshit. Leaving brilliant takes like your “Miller jumping off a sinking ship for Pitt” weren’t exactly hard to give up...

We're not spoiled, Chi. It's been 14 years. Need I list the schools that have been to multiple FFs during that period? Then, list the other Pac schools that have been to multiple Elite Eights in that period. F*ck Elite Eights Who seriously gives a F*ck about making Elite Eights. We made an Elite Ei...

Has anyone heard the rumor that Amy Miller moved back to Pittsburgh recently? I had heard a rumor that Sean and his wife were separating but that was about 1.5 months ago....which funny enough feels like 10 years ago. But then she was at the pac 12 tournament and hugging him after the game so thoug...

I think Miller is a heck of a coach during the season. I do not think Miller will ever make it to a final four. His teams are too tight. Am I happy with 20 wins, a conference championship, and March madness disappointment? Not sure, but probably not. Next year is going to freak many out, and the fi...

Name one blue blood who has retained a coach for a decade with no FF appearances. Name one top 20 school. Top 30? All I've got is Wisconsin and Notre Dame (football schools), Gonzaga (18 years for Few but Zaga had no previous FFs) and Georgetown (JTIII fired after a 10 year drought). So there is pr...

People want to fire Miller, and these are the names people come up with? Pitino would be a great choice. Tubby, too. And virtually every other joke that people names without intending to be funny. Shaka? Yeah, he has really transitioned well to P5. Hoiberg sound interesting if he would come. Otherwi...

Ohio State fired Matta and is back in the tournament the next season with Holtmann. We could turn around pretty fast even with a postseason ban and scholarship restrictions for a couple years. And for the record, I don't expect Miller to be fired but he could resign. My pick would be Matt Brase or ...

I was more positive than not on Byrne (and I will happily own that) but I remember when ANY of us who said anything short of "Greg Byrne is the greatest AD in our school's history" were met with ridicule and scoffed at. I overestimated him... but I never worshipped the guy. He could not have held ac...

Harvey Specter

Wrong. Miller stated that the first time he ever talked with Dawkins was after Ayton had already committed. And Miller NEVER said he had multiple conversations with Dawkins. He said he had one. And, as far as we know, that ESPN report is complete bullshit. To be completely accurate I don't think Mi...

Emotional reactions from fans that were rallying around the same guy 24 hours prior that were “ride or die” are hilariously hypocritical. “Fire miller and get a winner”. Lol KO. Russ Pennnel. Mike Dunlap. Tim Floyd. Reggie Theus. That’s where we were at the last time. Spare me the “we are Arizona” ...

Harvey Specter

Miller shouldn't go anywhere. Every true Cat fan should want him in Tucson forever. He just needs to have the character to overhaul his system, like Lute did. Agree with this sentiment... if I set aside the disappointment and embarrassment of tonight's loss, I think it is more of a tweak than an ov...

Chuck put us in the Final 4 which is no surprise.

Kenny the Jet did, too... which is.

Dude seriously presses in the form of ballhogging at the worst possible times. Rawle wasn't much better tonight under pressure, but seriously: Neither of our starting wings have exactly stepped up and shown leadership in the clutch this season. And that's dangerous, especially if their petty little...

Harvey Specter

Not sure if this was brought up, but based on Miller's statement I think the following happened (This by the way is just my opinion) It is clear Miller has met and/or talked with Christian Dawkins - Said this My best guess is it was for the first time last summer after Book met him - Has to be as h...

I love you Sean. I mean that. I hope you are our coach for a long time. Sometimes it takes losing or almost losing things go change your perspective and mine certainly did this last week. Bear Down coach and thanks for representing UA well this week. Mad Props to you. Seriously. You have been a Cat...

He was a disaster as an assistant when he was here. DISASTER.

And now he is an assistant in his 1st year on a dogshit Lakers team.

Question: if Miller is clean, how come former players and associates aren’t coming out publicly to support him, maybe just via Twitter? His current and former players absolutely know if the program is dirty. So it would be nice to hear from TJ or AG or SJ or anyone who’s had a fruitful relationship...

"Everyone wants a peek inside the sausage factory, but nobody is happy to find out how the sausage is made..." This is all I can think about over the past week.

It has probably been said before. I don't lurk or participate like I used to. What if Miller is involved in the FBI investigation? He may not be able to say anything right now. That's my best guess amongst all this, especially Miller's "vindication" statement. He may not be ABLE to say anything rig...

Yes Hank, but I don't get pleasure out seeing a man's career destroyed to save a freaking malignant disgusting criminal enterprise ran for profit under the facade of amateurism.

Why keep him out tonight if he's confident he'll be vindicated? Maybe he just means okay, you got me, but this is widespread in college hoops.

You are all in or out. Make your choice fellas. Bring me a final 4. Fuck it, a natty. All in... I believe Miller.

The more I think about this, the more this does not make sense… Any phone call involving Miller discussing cash payments to ensure Ayton’s enrollment at Arizona would certainly pre-date Book’s arrest. So if the FBI had those tapes at the time that Book & the others were brought into custody, why wou...

Harvey Specter

Assuming this has not already been done: 1. Have Miller Certified and sign a document stating that nothing that has been reported is true, and that he has been involved in no way and steering players to Arizona with cash payments. And go public with that story. 2. If he refuses to sign, suspend him ...

Why would the top 20 teams be out? Why would Arizona be out? The NCAA isn't supposed to act until the FBI investigation is over. These are leaks.

Every coach at every major program has played the same game for years. It's naive to believe otherwise.

My understanding is that the fbi told the ncaa to stand down until this was over. So ncaa won't do much for some time. Agents are paying or "loaning" money to players.
