Try implementing control over that. I'm venturing Murphy wouldn't let that happen, being oil to Love's water. They wouldn't mix, cuz subordinate Murphy wouldn't subordinate, evidently. The whistle-blower is a true blue, hard core MVP Sundevil himself that Murphy previously said if he wants anybody in the baseball fox hole with him, it's Mikel Moreno (the whistle-blower, former player/team leader, turned employee of the program). Murphy dumps him, kinda pisses on him as well by the sounds of it... and then get hit with Moreno's truck... every secret of Murphy's is revealed via two years of dotting i's and crossing t's. Murphy pissed on the wrong Hombre... or two. Ego trumped smarts by the looks of it as well. Obviously Murphy's leaving wasn't tied to the investigation! My guess is it was tied directly to insubordination. ;-) Just a guess. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=3287039 ASU AD Lisa Love comes from USC to ASU in 2005 and “inherits” the legendary hurricane in the form of the intimidating Pat Murphy, the winningest coach in the 2000′s in the Pac 10, not to mention having the second highest 10 yr ISR in the nation for the 2000′s.

Maybe she didn't want to pour salt in Murphy's wounds... so she lied about it not directly related to the investigation; "the" being the key word now, not so much "directly". But the NCAA is in essence charging AD Lisa Love and ASU president Micheal Crow with "failure to maintain control of its (seemingly out of control) baseball program". Lisa Love hit the roof, fired Murphy instead of herself... and issued her cryptic press release saying it was Murphy's call and it was amicable parting. Ha. If ASU sins are piling up now, it isn't all that fair to put it all on the baseball program via baseball sanctions. http://www.azcentral.com/sports/asu/articles/2009/12/17/20091217ncaa-asu-murphy.html Lisa Love is a real piece of work.
