The latest chapter in what’s been a long and turbulent 12 months for Arizona basketball coach Sean Miller took another turn on Monday.
Miller will reportedly be subpoenaed to testify in a federal trial, according to Yahoo! Sports. Miller will be joined by current LSU coach Will Wade at the trial, which will be held on April 22.
The development comes less than a month after longtime Miller assistant coach Mark Phelps was suspended by the University because of an undisclosed academic manner. Former assistant Emanuel ‘Book’ Richardson has pled guilty to federal bribery charges as well.
According to Yahoo! Sports, Joe Pasternack, who served as an assistant coach under Sean Miller before taking the head coaching role at California-Santa Barbara, is also alleged to have been a middleman between former sports agent Christian Dawkins, who is facing federal charges, and Miller.

The Athletic Program at the UofA has become a “Feeder Program” for Professional Sports. The corruption within the Athletic Program is symptomatic of this focus with the complete disregard of the Main Mission of the University…Student Academic Career Preparedness!
This is not at all surprising, since the University has became a “For Profit Business” Financially Scamming Students with the Support of a Corrupt Athletic Program that brings Millions to the University.
The Arizona Board of Regents are, in fact, complicit in the Corruption within the UofA Athletic Program for allowing/supporting the Arizona University System transformation into a Corrupt “For Profit Business”!
Dave Heeke $575,000/yr; Rich Rodriguez $2.5 million/year, Kevin Sumlin $3.5 million/yr, Sean Miller $2.6 million/yr….while UofA Students are skipping Meals because of On Campus Food costs Provided by “For Profit’ Venders.
Outrageous!!!. The Athletic Program at the UofA Must be Dismantled; and, Arizona Resident Access/Matriculation to the Arizona University System provided at NO Cost!!
