Sean Miller Trolls Steve Alford with Late Timeout in Arizona's Win Over UCLA.
Sean Miller said he called a timeout with 0.9 seconds remaining in his team's 86-75 win over UCLA in the Pac-12 tournament semifinals to set up a play.
Just like Steve Alford did against his team in Tucson a month earlier.
Miller admitted he mimicked Alford, who called a timeout with less than two seconds remaining in his team's 77-72 win over the Wildcats at the McKale Center on Feb. 25.
"I didn't mean any disrespect either," Miller said. "I think Steve told me he was setting his defense up [in last month's game], and I was setting my inbounds play up. ... We were just trying to play the best we can. When you play UCLA, you're in for a heck of a basketball game. For us, it's a matter of just trying to win the game."
The fact that Miller somehow was able to keep a straight face as he explained his reasoning for calling a timeout with less than a second on the game clock as his team enjoyed a double-digit lead is Awesome!!
Miller is the king of sarcasm, he is always able to say something and you don't know if he is serious, or if he is just being sarcastic about something.
