Sean Miller

Odogg never misses a moment to point out an autocorrect error.

I love that CSM is putting the success of this team on Ayton's back. I know it's stating the obvious but the fact he recognizes how special a player he has and the fact he could carry this team to a Final Four is a smart move on his part.

He's probably come to a conclusion it's this teams best chance for success and even though he's a freshman he has seen enough to realize Ayton can handle it now.

We bash Miller all the time for his stubbornness on things like not using a zone defense but he deserves credit for going all in with DA carrying the load for this team this year.

I think some of it is designed to pull the best out of Ayton. Ayton's best games have been in big ones where we needed him to bring it. Putting him in the mindset of a catalyst (hopefully) brings out that competitive response all the time.

Fully agree. For Ayton, the game can be too easy and a little meaningless when compared to the NBA life shortly ahead of him. Miller keeping Ayton challenged and engaged by putting the wins and losses on Ayton... that's good motivation, good coaching.

In a perfect world, all players should come in with a mindset that "it's on me to spark the team." When you're as good as Ayton, that attitude has even more power. You can demand Ayton deliver wins because he can meet that demand.

I also think Deandre has the right make-up to handle that kind of leadership pressure, especially in big games. Nothing seems to phase him which is unusual to say about a freshman (and probably harder for CSM to swallow).

Trier, Rawle, Dusan and PJC...not so much. Let them do the things they do best under the enormous wingspan of Mr. Ayton.

When everyone just plays their role this team can play like we saw last night in the first 10 minutes.

on another note, the Sean Miller Curtain of Distraction ploy was one of the most hilarious things ive ever seen - i rewound it ten times and laughed till i cried...especially when Fran Frachilla said, "hey, come on, come back out" for the second free throw.

I didn't see it, anyone have a clip of this?

And Rawle wasn't even playing well. If he's hitting, the lead probably swells to 25 in those first 10 minutes.

Here here (or dilly dilly as the kids say these days)

We looked goooood. Just let the game come to them and let it revolve around Ayton....watch out.

Yes, that one was pretty good. I think the kid even had soaked his shirt, right? Even looked like Sean a bit. Best thing they've rolled out of there for sure.

[Jefe]

Dark slacks, red tie and a soaking wet shirt. He wasn't even focused on the FT shooter. He was jumping up and down looking towards our bench.

Mimicking Sean Miller ranting.

[UAEebs86]

Gotta give the Scummies credit for that one. My son and I were cracking up. Sean would probably even laugh at that.

Funny! Would have been fun to see Sean's face when he saw the guy. Would also be a fun question for Sean at press interview or conference.

Well, to be fair, they gotta be good at somethin'.

Watch the name calling.

Also, to the snitch who ratted out the name calling, grow the fuck up. This is a message board for adults, sports fans, and, occasionally angry know it all fanatics.

Want a safe space, find a corner and repeat “Sticks and stones”

Is this about the comparison of Miller to Kevin Ollie? That's the biggest insult I've seen so far.

The snitch knows. I made the post mostly for his sake. He wasn’t even the poster called a “fucking moron”...


Don’t report because you’re offended for others.

Save reporting for honest issues, please.

Stream of conscious, real time debates that get heated will happen and sometimes names will get called.



This is the GOAT message board community.

[PennZona20]

This is all amazing. I'd be willing to bet my life machina is the rat. He would get insulted by something like that. Hence, his little feud with Miller

If Hank reported it, he would have reported ahead of time and requested admins shut the entire site down pronto to make sure we got out ahead of the insults.

I repeat .... the GOAT message board community.

[Chicat]

You know it’s a big game when Sean sweats through his shirt AND his suit coat.

Ventana Dry Cleaners, you the real MVP.....

[Longhorned]

This is even better than John Thompson’s towel over the shoulder. I bet someday he’ll get caught smearing Vasoline on his suits to augment the effect as he gets more and more famous.

Not as easy to find as you make it seem.

It’s cool, PHX. Someone will post it eventually.

I scoured Twitter and couldn’t find it. Sorry folks.

Had to go to Frankie Vision's excellent highlight videos because I knew Ayton was shooting free throws. Unfortunately cuts out the Frachilla line.

starts at 3:05 if it doesn't link to the time automatically

OMG! Amazing.

You’d think that clip would be all over the @911Crew or @0-6Crew (or whatever they’re called) twitter. What else do they have this season besides that and their non-conference championship banner?

The "942 Crew" told Paola Boivin they had it on their twitter feed. I looked through it and saw nothing. They were real proud of the naked MMA guy with the Shake Weight nobody knows who apparently went to ASU though.

I feel dirty now.

The 0-6 crew, hilarious Chi.

My apologies (to everyone but the morons) for being a fucking asshole... there are only 3-4 posters that awaken my inner evil twin, but still not cool.

The World Wide Web can be cathartic because u can turn off the filter u employ in real life.

That said, I’d prefer a direct insult to a passive aggressive purse swat.

i said earlier in September that I didn’t think Sean Miller would survive the scandal and everything that comes/came with that over the long term, and I still feel that way today.

plus when I hear the phrase(s) “fresh start” and “fatigued” and “stress”, etc. over and over and over again I perk up.

Is there new info or is your current inclination an accumulation of the conditions surrounding things this year?

all the circumstances that you know of are the heaviest, the scandal took a ton of wind from the sails.

I have been told coach Miller on several occasions has alluded to a fresh start being a good thing...all this weighs heavily on it all, including family.

where there is smoke there is usually fire, he won’t leave just to leave, but I get the feeling (as do others I chat with) that this is the last run.
