Xavier men's basketball coach Sean Miller was not sanctioned by the NCAA's Independent Resolution Panel regarding accusations of misconduct against the Arizona basketball program while Arizona won't receive any further postseason ban or any other major sanctions.
Arizona head coach Sean Miller looks on during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game against Southern California, Saturday, Jan. 9, 2016, in Los Angeles. Xavier men's basketball coach Sean Miller was not sanctioned by the NCAA's Independent Resolution Panelagainst the Arizona basketball program while Arizona won't receive any further postseason ban or any other major sanctions.
"A University of Arizona former assistant men's basketball coach solicited and accepted $20,000 in cash bribes and paid $40,000 for a fraudulent academic transcript, another former assistant men's basketball coach provided an impermissible benefit to a student-athlete and then directed the student-athlete to conceal the violation,"The NCAA inquiry resulted in nine charges overall and led Arizona to self-impose a postseason ban in the 2020-21 season.
Former Arizona assistant Book Richardson was one of the central figures in the federal investigation and was arrested in September of 2017 on bribery charges. A conversation between Miller and former agent Christian Dawkins — another central figure in the corruption trial — about a $100,000 payment for DeAndre Ayton to sign with Arizona was captured on wiretap.
While Miller escaped any personal sanctions from the NCAA, the sanctioning body said that Arizona’s self-imposed postseason ban in 2021 was enough for it to not impose any further postseason bans. It made clear in its statement that the self-imposition of penalties by the school helped it avoid greater punishment.
