rest - https://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...ng/3641576002/Former Arizona assistant Emanuel "Book" Richardson was heard on a recording telling agent Christian Dawkins that coach Sean Miller was paying eventual No. 1 NBA draft pick Deandre Ayton $10,000 a month to play for the Wildcats.
Federal prosecutors played the taped phone call, intercepted by wiretaps, before a jury on Wednesday as part of the ongoing trial into college basketball corruption.
The call between Richardson and Dawkins was focused on how Ayton could be recruited to Dawkins' sports management company, and Dawkins offered to pay Richardson each month under his agency.
Phone messages left by USA TODAY Sports with Miller and the Arizona athletics department were not immediately returned Wednesday afternoon.
