The Sean Miller Saga

[aTotal360]

Did ESPN totally botch this or is Sean Miller 'all in' or both?

 

[FlotownDawg]

ESPN is the only one reporting the Miller phone call. In fact, SI came out with a story that refuted the ESPN story and said their source said Miller never had a phone convo about paying Ayten. Wouldn’t be the first time ESPN got a story wrong. Bernie Fine anyone?

We’ll see the tapes in 2 weeks. /endtroll

Somebody is going to look really bad when this resolves itself, right?

Either ESPN botched the reporting.
Or the FBI botched the investigation and what was on the tapes.
Or Sean Miller is lying through his teeth.

I'm still waiting on Danny Sheridan to weigh in.

I have no idea who is right or wrong. But miller has nothing to lose by lying. Because his career is done either way if he had the convo. Might as well go all in

Per the story I heard yesterday, the alleged convo happened in 2016, and the FBI didn't have wiretaps till 2017. I think the SI article is the one that pointed this out. Also ESPN released that story without hearing the tape. I think ESPN and Schlabach 17'd this up.

They will get together and end this so that nobody looks bad. Beat goes on.

This is the correct answer. If they really have him on tape, it will come out.

Miller is doing what he has to do, but if he is truly innocent, he should have come right out and said it instead of waiting a week and sitting out a game.

My belief is that he's guilty as hell but he doesn't believe a tape exists, or that it can't be proven that it's him. And just like 8dog said, he has nothing to lose at this point.

If all they have is him TALKING about cash but there is no proof that any actually changed hands, can they really say a rule was broken?

I get the whole morality argument and anybody knows lying to your boss is not a good thing, but at the end of the day even if he’s done at Arizona, I’m not so sure that he is unhireable.

ESPN said they standby the original story yesterday. Guess we’ll see.
