Pac-12 referee boss offered incentives one day before Wildcats' Miller received technical
One day before Sean Miller received a technical foul in the Pac-12 tournament semifinals,
director of officials Ed Rush offered referees cash or a vacation if they either issued Miller
a foul or ejected him.
The conference confirmed today in a statement that Rush “offered game officials
inappropriate incentives for being stricter with Pac-12 coaches.”
Rush, the league’s officiating coordinator for 11 months, told the league it was a joke.
CBSSports.com reported Miller was the target of the offer. The web site reported earlier
today Rush offered officials $5,000 or a trip to Cancun if they gave Miller a technical or ejection.
