Arizona's Sean Miller will not be required to testify in NCAA bribery trial, judge rules

NEW YORK — Arizona coach Sean Miller will not have to testify in the upcoming federal trial related to corruption in college basketball, a judge ruled Friday.

U.S. District Court judge Edgardo Ramos sided with the prosecution’s motion that argued Miller and LSU’s Will Wade were irrelevant to the upcoming bribery trial.

Would-be agent Christian Dawkins and Adidas rep Merl Code are facing four federal bribery and conspiracy charges. Federal prosecutors say the two men paid college assistant coaches, including Arizona's Book Richardson; the assistants then promised to steer their players to Dawkins and Code for professional representation.
