It looks like the FBI investigation is about to claim its latest coaching victim.
Thus far, the only coach to be fired as a result of finding in this investigation is Louisville Cardinals coach Rick Pitino. He was fired, among other reasons, for being linked to payments for five-star recruit Brian Bowen.
Now, it appears Arizona Wildcats coach Sean Miller could face a similar fate. According to ESPN, Miller was involved in a payment set up for five-star recruit DeAndre Ayton.
FBI wiretaps intercepted telephone conversations between Arizona coach Sean Miller and Christian Dawkins, a key figure in the FBI’s investigation into college basketball corruption, in which Miller discussed paying $100,000 to ensure star freshman Deandre Ayton signed with the Wildcats, sources familiar with the government’s evidence told ESPN.
