Arizona Basketball: Opposing fans hoping for a Sean Miller fall out
By Jordan Cuda
Opposing fan bases grasp onto the chance of Miller being guilty every chance they get as they continue to wish ill will against our coach.
Outside the McKale Center walls, opposing fan bases are refreshing their social media pages every five seconds as they hope that Sean Miller is found guilty. These fans have fully bought into the FBI report released by ESPN that accused coach Sean Miller of using a pay to play program to take his program to new heights.
It seems as if they want Sean Miller to fail through their endless pursuit of painting a negative picture of a man who has yet to be put on trail.
Arizona Wildcats
Through this whole time opposing fans seem to ignore the fact that ESPN made multiple corrections to their original report. From days and times to who Sean Miller came in contact with changed at an alarming rate as time passed by. If they had any evidence shouldn’t this kind of information be clear?
Not to mention that the same guy who wrote the report went missing for months. At one time was major contributor to college basketball through ESPN went MIA for months some say close to a year after other sources continued to critique his original report that had mis-information.
That all seems to get ignored by opposing fan bases as they continue to put their full faith in the original report by ESPN. As more information comes out, these same fans continue to preach that Sean Miller is guilty and call for him to be fired still turning a cold shoulder to the other side of the story..
Just recently Sean Miller was issued as subpoena which sent these fans into a frenzy. As one can imagine these same fans jump on Miller again saying “He is guilty, He is guilty!” They thought they have finally gotten the news that they have been waiting for all these months. Sean Miller has been issued a subpoena therefore he is guilty and he is as good as gone.
Per usual ignoring the fact that a subpoena just calls for coach Miller to testify in court. Also ignoring the fact that a subpoena in no way means that one party is guilty. Even better yet, Sean Miller in this case is being called to be part of the “Defense”.
Still believe the ESPN report? Still believe Sean Miller is guilty? If that is the case than why didn’t they just put him on trial? They have the evidence right?
Maybe these opposing fans are not rooting for justice in this FBI investigation. Maybe they are rooting for Sean Miller to fail for a different reason because up till this point the evidence is not there to assume Miller is guilty.
Could it be that they know Arizona with Sean Miller is a recruiting power house and they can’t live with the fact that Arizona will be a force to reckon with for years to come. Therefore the only way to stop Miller and the Arizona Basketball program is to cling to the hope that he is guilty.
Now their is evidence to support that theory with recruiting classes ranked in the top ten every year. Not to mention this years class currently ranked, wait for it, number ONE! Also Arizona has dominated the PAC-12 claiming the Championship 8 times in the past twenty years.
Or is it that they are jealous cause Sean Miller and his coaching staff bring in and produce NBA level talent year in and year out. Knowing that their school can not compete on that level with the Wildcats their only hope is Sean Miller is proven guilty. It is than that they will boast because they finally can keep pace with Wildcats. Very similar to what is happening this year with a team that was put together last second. Even with that being said, the Cats are still competitive and have a shot at winning the PAC-12 tournament.
Whatever the case maybe why opposing fans might want Sean Miller to fail it won’t stop Arizona Basketball from being an elite program. These fans can keep grasping at every little detail in hopes of Sean Millers down fall which might be a while but it will keep them entertained. In the end those inside the McKale center walls know that Sean Miller is innocent till proven guilty. So therefore we will support our coach 110% percent and will cheer for his team through thick and thin! As always BearDown and Go Cats!
