Oh the joy to be had at watching PUke fans in "udder" melt down if this were to happen!

Rough last month for the Miller family.

Sean definitely under-performed with all the talent he had at 'Zona.....hmmm.

I think Massholes retire to Arizona. Only makes sense.

To be honest, this would be good for us. It would naturally re-open the Kauffman decision...

He can stay at Purdue. I wasn't impressed with the State Championship game and the Leo kid looked taller and is listed at 6'7 by his schools roster.

Archie to Arizona since Sean just got canned? That could be a solid option. 

Sean fired? Did I miss it?

I thought it was Mizzou last time?

Reading this story on ESPN, it appears that the AZ athletic department wanted to extend Sean Miller but the board of regents would not approve the extension due to the FBI investigation.

I'm just gonna say it - the way he has his program running at Purdue, it's a better job than Arizona. Maybe he gets a raise/extension out of the rumor mill.

Did you read the part about NO recruiting experience?

You think Lewis couldn't recruit to IU? Have you EVER heard him talk? Dude is on fire about IU and what it ought to be. 

I am not a "sky is falling" kind of guy, but the freaking sky is falling in Bloomington.

Curious, do you still feel this way?

He was doubled and tripled the whole game.

Of course there is a reason, Painter wants a raise. He probably has his people starting those rumors.

Since the Brad Steven thread is locked, I'm going to leave this here.  I think we may now have a better understanding of what may have led to Steven's apparent "decision change" during the negotiations when he supposedly when back to the Celtics to "tell them he was leaving".

EDIT:  Sorry, I didn't think to look in the College basketball thread for this.

I will thoroughly enjoy watching that program fall off when he leaves.  His protection from the media for the stuff that has gone on over there is second to only Wooden.

Yep. Wouldn’t be surprised if he went to them to say he was unhappy and going to IU. They probably entered into negotiations and settled on this role. 
 

Amazing.
