Arizona Assistant Coaches Took the Fall For Sean Miller

A recent IARP decision is just the latest in an inefficient crime-and-punishment process that allows coaches to avoid accountability.

On page 48 of the NCAA’s Independent Review Panel report that set Sean Miller free, it is noted that the former Arizona and current Xavier men’s basketball coach keeps a “Book of Truth.” It’s described as a journal in which he “documented many compliance-related events and actions.” This is noted as one of many examples of how Miller promoted an atmosphere of NCAA rules compliance and properly monitored his program.

Forgive the play on words, but it is the alleged Book (Richardson) of Untruth that allowed Miller to escape sanctions despite a panoply of major violations committed on his watch at Arizona.
