According to an article released Monday, sources tell Yahoo Sports that Arizona is one of the schools tied to the federal basketball scandal where a formal NCAA inquiry has begun.

That same article states that "there’s a strong expectation that Miller will be subpoenaed to appear at the trial, potentially within the next month. He could be one of many coaches, as all the coaches who were captured on wiretap with Dawkins are at risk of a subpoena."

Part of the defense’s theory is expected to be based on showing Dawkins wasn’t bribing coaches. “My obligation here is to defend my client,” Dawkins' lawyer Steve Haney tells Yahoo, “not protect coaches who violated NCAA rules.”

The Yahoo article paints a pictures that Sean Miller and Book Richardson have both had contact with Dawkins, which could come into play when Dawkins goes to trial in the next few months.

"There’s a likelihood that wiretaps of conversations between them could be played at the trial," the article states. "Dawkins famously once boasted he attended Arizona practices “like I’m on the team.”

"In documents viewed by Yahoo Sports in February 2018, Dawkins was also in frequent contact with then-Arizona assistant Joe Pasternack, who is now the head coach at UC Santa Barbara, to broker deals to recruit players from Arizona to his agency. Dawkins wrote at one point to a colleague: “Joe told me verbatim he will help us get all the Arizona players, so put his feet to the fire.”

Should Sean Miller be asked to testify, it would be another unique step in the trial and one that would be something that could said shockwaves through college basketball, as other coaches would likely be asked to testify as well.

“Sean Miller is really in a box,” a person familiar with the details of the case tells Yahoo. “I don’t see how he can testify and it would stay consistent with his past statements. And I don’t see how he can keep the University of Arizona without exposure."

Sean Miller has gone on record saying that he has no paid any prospects, but this would be a different scenario because he would likely he asked the same question under oath.

“I have never paid a recruit or prospect or their family or representative to come to Arizona," Miller has said previously. "I never have and never will.”

In addition the Yahoo articles states that Arizona could currently be weighing the future of the program, although that part seems to be speculative more than anything at this time.

"The decision they might be weighing is attempting to balance the risk/reward of keeping Miller versus parting ways and attempting to preserve the impressive recruiting haul," the report states.

"The most prominent name of a potential replacement would be Los Angeles Lakers coach Luke Walton, who has reportedly fallen out of favor of LeBron James and is dealing with reported friction in the Lakers locker room. Walton would be a prime candidate for both the open UCLA job and potentially the Arizona job. Arizona’s edge would be Walton graduated from the school and starred there for four seasons under Lute Olson. (There’s been no indication Walton desires to coach in college, as his only coaching experience came at the University of Memphis during the 2011 NBA lockout.)"
