Sean Miller Wows Johnny Carson

University of Arizona head basketball coach Sean Miller was a basketball wizard long before he took either the Wildcats or the Xavier Musketeers to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. Flash back to 1983 when Johnny Carson was the undisputed king of late night television and a fresh-faced, 14-year old Miller appeared on The Tonight Show and yukked it up on the couch with Johnny and Ed McMahon before dazzling the audience with a pretty sick handle.

Kyle Fogg and Lamont Jones may want to make sure Miller's out of eligibility. Just sayin'.

Wife of USC Basketball Coach Slaps Arizona Fan

Just in case USC or Arizona fans needed another reason to be fired up about Friday night's Pac-10 tournament semifinal matchup, Trojans head coach Kevin O'Neill may have just given it to them.

According to PointGuardU.com, an apparently drunken O'Neill and his wife got into it with an Arizona fan at a LA hotel.

O'Neill reportedly threatened the fan that USC was going to “beat the hell out of Arizona.” Words were exchanged and our sources say that O'Neill's wife struck one of the Arizona fans. O'Neill and his wife were escorted out of the hotel, and Arizona fans were left wondering what just happened.

Since the alleged altercation, USC athletic director Pat Haden released a statement saying the school is looking into the incident.

It's unknown what might have started the fracas, but O'Neill and Wildcat fans don't have the greatest relationship. O'Neill was Arizona's head coach in 2007-08 in place of Lute Olson, who took a leave of absence. At the time, the university had announced that O'Neill would become the head coach when Olson retired and it appeared as though that moment had arrived. However Olson said he would return for the '08-09 season and reports began to surface of acrimony between the two coaches.

Eventually, O'Neill was let go, Olson abruptly retired and Russ Pennell was left to run the team on an interim basis. What exactly happened between Olson and O'Neill isn't fully known, but usually when you run up against a legend, you're going to lose in the court of public opinion. O'Neill is known to be a pretty fiery guy and if you add in a little liquor and some trash talking, it's easy to see how things can escalate.
