University of Arizona head coach Sean Miller, who was the head coach at Xavier University from 2004 to 2009, is accused of having phone conversations discussing a $100,000 payment to ensure the commitment of freshman DeAndre Ayton intercepted as part of an FBI investigation, according to a report from ESPN's Mark Schlabach.

Miller had multiple conversations with Christian Dawkins - who worked at ASM Sports for former NBA agent Andy Miller before Dawkins was arrested last fall - about Ayton, according to the report.
