Deandre Ayton, the player at the center of a firestorm that appears as if it may cost Arizona coach
Sean Miller his job, has denied any wrongdoing or illegal activity.
An ESPN story released Friday says the FBI has
wiretapped conversations of Miller discussing a $100,000 payment to Ayton, the 7-foot-1 Bahamian native who is in the mix for the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft.
Miller won’t coach Saturday night against Oregon and assistant coach
Lorenzo Romar, the former head man at Washington, will take over head coaching duties for the game. Ayton is eligible to play in the game.
