Sean Miller Shoots Down Report, Looks Ahead to Pac-12 Tournament
Arizona coach Sean Miller vehemently shot down a report claiming he discussed a six-figure payment to a top recruit and said he looks forward to continuing to coach the team.
ESPN reported last Friday, using anonymous sources, that the FBI had Miller on a wiretap discussing a $100,000 payment to Wildcats freshman Deandre Ayton to attend the school.
In a news conference Thursday, Miller said he has never knowingly violated NCAA rules nor paid a player. He also called the report "inaccurate and completely false."
Miller has not coached the Wildcats since the report, but said he will lead the team in next week's Pac-12 Tournament.
The Arizona Board of Regents was set to meet later Thursday to get legal advice and discuss Miller's contract.
