I'll second this wariness towards players reputed as "great shooters." This was Barcello. Pitts. Lavender. Come to think of it: who is the most lights-out shooter of the Miller era? I can think of streaky guys (York, Trier), but Miller hasn't had a Salim-type player yet. Markaanen was probably as g...

There will come a day(and by the numbers it is not very far off) when Miller breaks through the FF hymen...it might even be the day when he takes home a national title...on THAT day there will be a reckoning... People like Zagoria and Hansen, Pascoe and Schlabach will STILL try to hawk their wares ...

Devils advocate...if true, is the $10K from Nike? Sounds like Miller didn't want Book handling any of this. Pasternack though? From USATODAY Dawkins:"We'll see how Sean plays it out." Richardson: "You know what he bought per month ?" Dawkins: "What he do?" Richardson:"I told you -- 10 (thousand)." ...

Captain Obvious

Didn't even know there was a women's NIT. So does this mean they finish the year ranked #65?

Congrats nonetheless.

That’s what is going to keep him from being where we all want him to be.

That and the very real possibility he won't be a head coach again after the trial.

Captain Obvious

Another thing about Miller. In the last 24 months, he's not only had the FBI/ESPN cloud, he has lost his 3 best recruiting assistant coaches. That can have a tremendous impact alone, and he not only integrated basically an entirely new recruiting staff, he did it and pulled a #1 class. That isn't j...

I've never rooted for St. Johns........until now. Maybe someday ASSu will overachieve and actually get a real invitation. Lol.

Captain Obvious

One thing that doesn't help Miller: his brand of basketball is boring. Well, some of it may be attributable to his offensive philosophy, but some of it has to be the fact that during his tenure because he has only had one decent point guard. One suspects next year's offense will not be limited. If ...

Captain Obvious

Frankly I don’t see Miller as the golden goose. What golden eggs has he brought up the last 5 years? Poor recruiting and mgmt at PG Stifling talent and athleticism in a cutely branded “player program” running an inflexible system? Have multiple assistant coaches under ncaa suspicion? Keeping book a...

Captain Obvious

No chance we win this game. Just thankful this dumpster fire of a season is finally ending. What a nightmare.

Captain Obvious

Never thought I'd be so excited about a basketball season ending.

Captain Obvious

I am listening to a radio show right now with someone who says they talked to Steve Haney (Dawkins' lawyer) many times and how Haney will bring down the dirty coaches and will prove how Dawkins is innocent. Reminder this is the bribery trial not the fraud one earlier. If Dawkins is trying to prove ...

The real question may be whether they reach 40 points combined.

Battle of the bottom feeders. Attendance could be a record low for the Miller era.

PieceOfMeat wrote:Hope his recovery is as swift as possible and as full as possible

His recovery will undoubtedly be expedited by not watching any more games. It has to be hard for him to watch Miller run the program he worked so hard to build into the ground.

The top 16 teams in NCAA basketball were released today. Arizona didn't make the top 16 in their own conference.

Captain Obvious

0 chance. UA is paying RichRod $3M this year (and $3M last year) and they will need to come up with $7M to fire Miller, who makes 85% even if he gets fired with cause. This season is over. https://twitter.com/JasonScheer/status/1094422072179060736 I was actually curious about Miller's contract. Tha...

just got home, turn on the game, down 52-38 with 9:22 left in the game? what the fuck At halftime I went outside to make dinner, some chicken tacos on the griddle.

I'm wondering the same thing. Who would be our coach? Unreal.

I've felt for a long time Miller wouldn't make it through this season without resigning or being fired. At this point it's really looking to me like Sean Miller will not be our HC in the very near future. Brace for impact.

Help me out here. I'm not as educated as I should be. If Miller ends up resigning or is fired what will happen to our recruits that have already committed? Have all of them signed LOI's? Are they still able to de-commit? My fear is we could lose all or most of our recruits for next year if the shit ...

This season is eerily starting to feel like 1983-84. We lost to UCLA by 50 plus in Pauley that year.

Lack of rescent blowout wins is also alarming (not including our piss poor OOC schedule) This. Our cupcake OOC schedule has IMO left us unprepared for the rigors of the NCAA tournament. Couple that with an overall weak Pac 12 schedule most years and any team is vulnerable. I'd rather see an overall...

To be clear, I'd say the bar for next season is as follows: -Pac champs -Pac tourney (reach the final game) -E8 or better I get that people are going to say it has to be "F4 or better," but I think that's unfair.

There have been situations where well regarded coaches have either left to go to a school where there's lesser pressure or the school itself with the high amount of pressure decides it's time to move on from the rightfully successful coach because the relationship had just ran its course.

This is now a must win game It's early in the conference schedule but you are probably correct. Oregon State is coming off a loss where they should have won so they will give us everything we can handle. Will probably be another low scoring snooze fest. I think we play hard but fall short.

Most of this comes off as entitled petulance, not the savvy, cynical take people think they are making.

And the board is starting to turn against Miller. Keep in mind, guys, that we were supposed to have Quinerly, Little and O'Neal. Count me among those who think we're going to bounce back in a huge way next season. Even with those three we wouldn't be much better IMHO. By bounce back in a huge way I...

Was someone calling for Miller to be fired? Don't recall seeing that post. We can all be disappointed in how this season is turning out, but I still a huge fan of Miller.

It’s amazing how Miller fools all these top flight point guards and their parents’ and handlers to come to Arizona when we all know he’s just going to put the clamps on them and not let them play when they get here.

Did Miller lose the team after Alabama with his 20-min postgame locker room tirade? To enjoy a full week solid of practice and then lay an egg like that is remarkable. Players notice what coaches say to the media after losses. You can’t continually blame lack of “effort” and “toughness” (Player’s f...
