Jay Balis is wrong for making these statements about Miller & Ayton 🎥 Especially about Ayton. Why would he not play. Just because one unknown source is claiming 2 people talked about him being paid.

This is exactly right. Even if everything turns out to be true and Ayton did take the money...his suggestions are WAY over the line when you consider the source of the information and the lack of context in Miller's & Ayton's situations. If our entire society were based on his brand of justice, we would all be in jail right now, which wouldn't be all bad because he would no longer be paid to spew his ignorance through a medium that no one would pay to watch.
It's all premature hype right now. It's not exactly classy but it's great marketing.
If this is all true, Bilas may be right though. Miller is best known as a recruiter and no kid is going to touch him. No major program will want him. I would find it hard to believe any program would want that spotlight.
It sucks because it's us. But we as fans have to take it on the chin sometimes too.
Only problem with Jay Bilas' statement about Coach Miller's coaching career being over IF he did this is...I didn't hear one single mention of Coach K, Coach Calipari, or any of the other top college coaches who have been doing this for a lot longer than Coach Miller has(if he did), of their coaching career's being over. How is it only Coach Miller is mentioned. Anyone that thinks those other coaches weren't doing what Coach Miller is accused of doing is drinking some PRETTY SERIOUS KOOL AID!!!
And a little P.S., At those other majors that were doing this, if their head coach wasn't directly involved...you can bet they knew. Whether they claim not to have known or not...they are in charge and responsible for what goes on with regards to their teams.

THIS ^^
This whole situation smells like a smear campaign and the only being hurt here is Miller whether he is vindicated or not. All those other coaches who were implicated through proper channels are not even talked about. The only one being dragged through the mud is Miller on the basis of heresay...
