Sean Miller's Future Subject Of Board Of Regents Meeting

TUCSON, AZ – The end may be near for Sean Miller's tenure at the University of Arizona. The Arizona Board of Regents will meet Thursday afternoon to discuss the coach's contract.

The board will likely go into executive session soon after convening at 2 p.m.. That part of the meeting is closed to the public.

Board members are expected to receive legal advice about Miller's contract.

He's been thrust into the spotlight since last Friday when ESPN reported that he was caught on an FBI wiretap discussing a possible $100,000 payment to a top recruit.

It's not known if a payment was ever made but a lawyer hired by the university to probe the situation defended the player and his family over the weekend.

He was benched from coaching last Saturday's game against the Oregon Ducks

The controversy has already cost the school one top recruit.

Shareef O'Neal, son of Shaquille, had committed to Arizona. He backed away from that over the weekend and on Tuesday announced his intention to attend UCLA.
