A week after Arizona Wildcats assistant coach Book Richardson was arrested in a bribery and corruption scandal, head coach Sean Miller finally broken his silence on the matter, issuing this statement Tuesday:
“I was devastated to learn last week of the allegations made against Emanuel Richardson. I have expressed to both Dr. Robbins and our Athletic Director Dave Heeke that I fully support the University’s efforts to fully investigate these allegations.
“As the head basketball coach at the University of Arizona, I recognize my responsibility to not only establish a culture of success on the basketball court and in the classroom, but as important, to promote and reinforce a culture of compliance.
