LSU head coach Will Wade and Arizona’s Sean Miller received notice that they will be subpoenaed for the April 22 federal basketball corruption trial, reports Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports.

Thamel calls it a “potentially dynamic development” in the ongoing corruption case that began almost 18 months ago.

“It creates the potential of two high-profile head coaches testifying in federal court about the granular detail of the recruiting underworld – something that never manifested in the initial federal trial last fall,” Thamel wrote. “It raises thorny questions for the public universities that employ them, as both the optics of potentially testifying in federal court about basketball recruiting and potential answers that could be given under oath will be a likely cause of consternation for Arizona and LSU administrators.”

Wade addressed the report on Monday with reporters in Baton Rouge.

For LSU, Wade’s name initially entered the conversation based on reported interaction with Christian Dawkins, who is charged with fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud against Kansas, Louisville, Miami and North Carolina State.

“I'm very proud of everything I've done as the LSU basketball coach,” Wade said when addressing the subject at SEC media day. “I have never, ever, done any business of any kind with Christian Dawkins."

When meeting with reporters in the main media room, Wade reiterated his statement said on the SEC Network. When pressed to respond to the specific report about the exact words of the conversation, Wade referred to the statement.

“Certainly, it was a little surprising," Wade said. "I or we have never, ever, done business of any kind with Mr. Dawkins. That’s what I’ll say about that.”

For Arizona, Miller briefly was put on leave last year after reports of an FBI wiretap and a $100,000 payment with Dawkins to ensure the signing of star freshman DeAndre Ayton. Miller was reinstated after many holes were poked in the report.

“Sources informed 247Sports that Dawkins and Miller hadn’t even met until late in 2016, when Ayton was already committed to Arizona, and reaffirmed that he had nothing to do with the five-star center signing with UA,” wrote Evan Daniels and Josh Gershon last season. “Further digging revealed, from sources with direct knowledge of the content of the wiretaps between Miller and Dawkins, that the reported conversation never happened and that if the tapes — which are under a protective seal and may never see the light of day — were to be released, that Miller would be exonerated from ESPN’s allegations.”

LSU is on the path to a strong seed in the NCAA Tournament after big February wins over Kentucky and Tennessee. The Tigers remain a Top 15 team in the polls. Arizona is 16-12 this season, ranking eighth in the Pac-12. The Wildcats recently ended a seven-game losing streak with wins over Cal and Stanford.
