Xavier head coach Sean Miller will not face any sanctions while two of his former assistants will serve lengthy show-cause penalties in the Arizona infractions case that was adjudicated by the Independent Accountability Resolution Process panel

In a decision that was announced on Wednesday, the panel said the university itself received lesser sanctions in part because of its decision to self-impose a postseason ban for the 2021 NCAA tournament. The school, however, must vacate all wins in which two athletes identified as "student-athlete No. 1" and "student-athlete No. 3" participated. Per the panel ruling, the games impacted by "student-athlete No. 1" occurred from 2016-2018.

Arizona had been charged with five Level I violations from incidents that allegedly took place during Miller's tenure there. Miller was facing a Level I charge that he "did not demonstrate that he promoted an atmosphere for compliance and monitored his staff within the basketball program."

Former assistants Book Richardson and Mark Phelps were hit with 10-year and two-year show-cause penalties, respectively, for NCAA violations that occurred at Arizona. The panel also ruled that Arizona had "failed to monitor" both its men's basketball and swimming and diving programs, which also committed NCAA violations.

"The hearing panel found no violation for the former head men's basketball coach because the hearing panel determined that the former head men's basketball coach demonstrated that he promoted an atmosphere of compliance and monitored two of his assistant coaches regarding the academic eligibility of men's basketball prospective student-athletes, rebutting the presumption of head coach responsibility," the panel's ruling stated.

Miller said the IARP ruling allows him to move forward.

"This has been a long journey and I am glad everything is finally finished," he said in a statement on Wednesday. "I am excited to move forward. I'd like to thank my wife Amy and my entire family, President [Colleen Hanycz] and [athletic director] Greg Christopher for their support through the completion of this process."

The panel said Arizona's decision to self-impose a postseason ban for the 2020-21 season shaped the sanctions against the program for failure to monitor. The school will pay a $5,000 fine and lose one scholarship for its incoming recruiting class, along with the vacated wins.

"The Independent Resolution Panel was intentional in not prescribing penalties that would have a negative impact on current student-athletes," the panel said.
