Sean Miller won't coach Arizona's game Saturday vs. Oregon

Sean Miller will not coach Arizona's game Saturday against Oregon in the wake of his reported involvement in a discussion to pay a potential recruit, sources told ESPN's Mark Schlabach and Jeff Goodman.

Miller was not at the Wildcats shootaround earlier Saturday, but the school did not officially reveal his status for Arizona's game in Eugene, Oregon.

Miller told his team that he would not coach in the game after ESPN reported Friday that FBI wiretaps intercepted phone conversations between Miller and Christian Dawkins. According to sources familiar with the government's evidence, Miller and Dawkins discussed paying $100,000 to ensure that star freshman Deandre Ayton would sign with the Wildcats.
