2019 Coaching Carousel

Not necessarily. Depending on what's testified to during trial, those purported recordings may never be admitted into evidence. And subpoenaed or not, Miller may not testify. The Firth Amendment remains a viable (if not likely) option.

  An evidence hearing has probably already been heard considering trial month away.  Miller, even if subpoenaed can still sit on the stand and listen, but refuse to testify, which very seldom happens in court.  That would not be a good thing for him and his career would be over, tapes or no tapes. The tapes can be presented without Miller going on the stand and be introduced by either prosecution or defense witnesses.  Either way, the actual tapes have not been made public, everything is speculative, and if they do contain NCAA coaches incriminating themselves, they soon will be public in this trial.  Can't wait to hear the particulars of these case and that is when the walls start coming down.  Actual evidence.

And your basis for saying that is.....

because he isn't going pro because he can't get guaranteed nba $$$. 

[WhiteTrash]

This....I'd bet dollars to donuts he pleads the 5th.

He may very well do that but even the most ardent UofA and Miller fan knows he will be fired for taking the 5th. Could be the right strategy to get a settlement with Arizona though.

[Loose Cannon]

If Nico reopens his recruitment I would expect Stan and Wojo would be pushing hard to land him.

Nico being projected as a 1 and Done and Duke probably losing T Jones to the NBA he's going to where the Bells & Whistles are.

[Jon]

Buzz had friends in the media to speculate on his behalf.

TC had has no friends so he had has to "leak" BS by himself.

no to drone on about legal stuff, but I wouldn't say it's seldom that a person implicated in a criminal conspiracy or portrayed as an unindicted co-conspirator takes the Fifth.
And I don't see how Miller's situation gets worse by invoking his Fifth Amendment right when the alternative is admitting he was paying players or perjuring himself. Of the three options, it's the least likely to not be a career-killer.
As for the tapes, it's worth noting that the government chose not to introduce the texts involving Self, but rather it was the defense, in an effort to downplay their client's involvement. Judging by that, the government may not want to introduce the purported Miller tapes.

I let your opinion be, not sure if you have/had prosecutorial experience.  I am very aware of the entire case and who requested what matters be entered as evidence.

Shaka's 4 years in Texas ...

20-13 NCAA first round loss

11-22

19-15 NCAA first round loss

Tough being a genius nowadays.

Thank god he's married to that uptight snob, Maya.

She musta figured it'll be more fun getting run out of Austin than Milwaukee....

Since Miller has publicly and by all reports privately sworn he has done nothing wrong, pleading the 5th would undermine his credibility. This is not my opinion; UofA reporters have indicated their sources have said taking the 5th would be the end of Miller's tenure. But to your point, taking the 5th can keep him out of jail and leave open the opportunity for a job at another school.

[MU82]

Thank god he's married to that uptight snob, Maya.

66-66 after 4 years at Texas' landmark university. Zero tourney wins. Three straight seasons with losing conference records. Two seasons without winning overall records. 16-16 in Year 4.

A good chunk of Scoop wants Wojo fired; how would they have handled that?

Lost credibility vs federal indictment for perjury or conspiracy.
Which would you choose?

She can change her BBQ order, "Make that to go..."

Lol. Easy choice. Crean to Arizona!

He'd still bring his tanning bed.  The real sun doesn't give provide the right orange-ish glow.

[MUBurrow]

Goodman reported yesterday that Nebraska will be firing Tim Miles and Hoiberg is the frontrunner to replace him. No word on whether Fred Hoiberg is aware that he is the frontrunner at Nebraska.

Per the guy that was the first to report on Scott Frost to Neb, I guess this is a #donedeal. Kinda surprising, I would have thought Hoiberg could do better. It'll be interesting to see the $$

[MuMark]

Hoiberg has ties to Nebraska.

[MUBurrow]

Hoiberg has ties to Nebraska.

Ahh okay that makes more sense then.  And good for Nebraska, that's two home run coaching hires for their programs based on guys with ties.

[The Sultan]

His grandfather was the head coach there in the 50s and his parents are both alumni. He has extended family in the state too.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Nebraska really isn't a bad gig. Sure it's a football school, but great resources, good fan base. You can certainly win there.

I agree. Furthermore pressure won't be huge.

Ex-NBA player Mike Miller could be ideal fit for UNLV

I can't for a second think that would be a good idea.  He's been a college assistant for less than a year, and the idea that recruits would be interested in him because he played with Lebron James?  I don't he has a good understanding of how the recruiting process works.

That being said, Porter Moser would be a terrible choice too.

[VegasWarrior77]

The UNLV fan base is delusional. Six weeks ago the rumor was the athletic department was talking to Pitino. A few weeks later they were supposedly talking to Thad Motta...

He's well connected in the AAU scene. Also, Miller's older brother is the associate HC at TCU under Jamie Dixon. He was on Calipari's staff at Memphis and at New Mexico under Alford. Also was at UNLV recently. They are supposed to be a package deal. So I would imagine Mike Miller knows how the game works. And he has a good X&Os guy and experienced assistant to help.
