Arizona athletic director Dave Heeke voiced strong support for coach Sean Miller and his men’s basketball program Saturday night in the wake of the school’s move earlier in the week to fire assistant coach Mark Phelps.
Heeke, speaking to reporters at halftime of the Wildcats’ 69-55 loss to visiting Washington State, wouldn’t talk about the Phelps case or any other issues related to a possible NCAA investigation.
“We’re fully supportive of the coaching staff, the leadership of the basketball program,” Heeke said. “We’re supporting, as I have said before, we support Coach Miller. Those things that have been said to the contrary to that are not true.”
