Miller probably wants to sue the shit out of ESPN, but the University is too much of a bunch of pansies and doesn't want to get on board.

Below is reply of letter I sent to ABOR.

Dear Mr. Brooke:

Thank you for contacting the Arizona Board of Regents to express your concerns about media coverage surrounding the investigation of the University of Arizona men’s basketball program.

Arizona Board of Regents Chair Bill Ridenour released a statement this past weekend regarding UA basketball, in which he states that “We must do everything we can to ensure that our programs are of the highest caliber as we must also protect the rights of all involved and respect due process for employees.”

The board appreciates the feedback it receives from the public.

Your message will be shared with the board.

Best,

He's done.

"...discussion regarding University of Arizona men’s basketball and the multiple-year employment contract for head men’s basketball coach."

They are probably looking to see the financial ramifications of terminating his contract
A.R.S 38-431.03(a)(1): "Discussion or consideration of employment, assignment, appointment, promotion, demotion, dismissal, salaries, disciplining or resignation of a public officer, appointee or employee of any public body....."

(a)(4): Discussion or consultation with the public body in order to consider its position and instruct its attorneys regarding the public body's position regarding contracts that are the subject of negotiations, in pending or contemplated litigation or in settlement discussions conducted in order to avoid or resolve litigation."

Both good and bad options covered in all that.
Funny, I posted that link right above.

If they put in the cite to a4 for a reason, that worries me. If it's just an all options list, the rest is pretty blah. Just about authority for a meeting.
Just tells me theres gonna be a lot of lawyers involved in order to cross their Ts and dot their Is for whatever decision that will be made.

That citation was not by mistake. The executive session discussion will be to consider a proposed agreement between the University and its employee to terminate the contract. I would expect a press release later today.

Is it possible the lawyers are discussing a restructuring of the language in the contract? Something that would cover the U of A and allow for less to be paid to Miller is they were to fire him for cause? Perhaps the University knows the ESPN report is BS but does want to protect itself in case anything legit does come out from all of the ongoing investigations. So discussions like "we want you to stay and coach right now, but we also want to reword some of that contract due to the book incident, BS espn reports, and ongoing investigations in the NCAA?

From 247 article:
"Sources with knowledge of the conversations that took place on the wiretaps have maintained to 247Sports that the actual content of the tapes would exonerate Arizona's embattled coach from ESPN's report. Those tapes may never be released as they are under a federal seal."

Whatever their sources are, if they say these tapes supposedly exonerate Miller, then let the man coach out the year, and go after ESPN and all those that are trying to take him down.

There is a big difference between negotiating the contract, and negotiating his return. If it’s the former, like the release suggests, it’s a harbinger of what is to come.

Could be possible...and possibly the reason why they are "negotiating" in order to settle on a figure?

The ABOR meeting agenda certainly sounds like the hammer dropping, but I suppose it could still go either way. They're simply documenting that the powers that be have undertaken all proper due diligence regardless of the decision . . .

Yes, negotiating a clause in the contract essentially.

there is one concern right now, and its legitimate -- if Arizona lets Sean Miller coach the rest of the season and into the NCAA Tournament, if there are other grenades, as many have said there are, they will surely be deployed during this period, especially if AZ makes a deep run in the NCAA's or dare i even say make the Final Four.

the fall-out from that may be too large to ever come back from, even if the contract were re-written, its future land mines that are becoming the issue.

Arizona has wanted Miller to finish the season, separate amicably, and hire a new coach and vision with as little fanfare as possible.

obvviouslt that plan and/or hope has changed and new directives have been given.

So I spoke with a former UA coach lets call him "Moe Flasternack" who is still close to Miller and familiar with the talks - he tells me the delay is Miller is refusing to step aside because he wants a chance to finish the season out on HIS TERMS - with a loss to a double digit seed in the Elite Eight. :idea:

So get rid of Miller and self-sanction this year?
Would we basically lose all of our players next year and face a complete rebuild? Or would Romar stay on and be able to keep some guys around with us being somewhat competitive for a few years?

Honestly, what potential grenade is wose than what has already been alleged? Maybe just a loss of deniability/hard evidence, but I think the nature of CBB is that all teams have that risk right now.

Sadly, as evident by Friday’s fictional story, those grenades could be blanks and will do just as much damage.

Yes, reading what is being dropped the choice appears to be Miller or the program regarding what potential land mines are out there...or if you litigate, what parts of the well oiled marchine could be revealed thus crippling our program well into the future.

Jeez if those are the stakes I have to begrudgingly go with saving the program.

Glad I don’t have to make this decision.

If there are grenades, I can't imagine they're not thrown regardless of our tourney coach. The higher our profile, the more impact allegations can have.

We'll see what emerges tomorrow. If Miller's ready to be done, I don't see why you can't just drop a release where he consents to paid leave to "avoid distraction to the team" as it enters the tourney. This keeps him out of the media eye and you work on the final parting.

the fall-out from that may be too large to ever come back from, even if the contract were re-written, its future land mines that are becoming the issue.

Arizona has wanted Miller to finish the season, separate amicably, and hire a new coach and vision with as little fanfare as possible.

obvviouslt that plan and/or hope has changed and new directives have been given.
If there are grenades, I can't imagine they're not thrown regardless of our tourney coach. The higher our profile, the more impact allegations can have.

We'll see what emerges tomorrow. If Miller's ready to be done, I don't see why you can't just drop a release where he consents to paid leave to "avoid distraction to the team" as it enters the tourney. This keeps him out of the media eye and you work on the final parting.
Probably just afraid of the optics if more came out and we allowed him to continue coaching.

Makes me feel like Miller is the biggest name thats going to come out of this whole thing if we can expect more tactical releasing of info during the tournament. Why not leak info on a bigger name if there is one?

ESPN: Miller cheated

FANS: Holy shit, we're fucked

UA: We have to do something

Ayton Camp: We didn't do shit and no one can prove we did

SM: I didn't do what ESPN says

ESPN: We made a bunch of mistakes but not taking it back

FANS: F**K ESPN, Keep Miller

UA: You totally innocent SM?

SM: I didn't do what ESPN says

UA: If we gonna keep you, we need to be protected

SM: I got nothing for you, but if you fire me, you'll be hearing from my lawyers

UA: What if we keep you, but edit the contract so UA is made whole if something does come out

SM: I can do that

UA: ABOR...Can we do that?

ABOR: I'll get back to you.

Serious question:

Can ABOR formally impose firing on the institution? I know they can probably do that in a de facto matter, but if Arizona dug their heels in, who wins?

I don't know much about ABOR proceedings vs the institution, but I've wondered about this.
