Heiler says Sean Miller case near resolution
By Anne Ryman | The Republic
A member of the Arizona Board of Regents is calling the ESPN report on wiretaps involving head basketball coach Sean Miller “frankly unacceptable” when it comes to journalistic standards.
Regent Jay Heiler said his instincts from the start were that the story was “less than solid journalism.”
He told The Arizona Republic on Wednesday he has become more convinced of this as additional criticisms about the story have emerged during the week.
“I found the complete lack of context around the reported content to be frankly unacceptable when measured against journalistic standards that I’ve always believed in,” said Heiler, an attorney who majored in journalism at Arizona State University.
