Sean Miller clearly didn’t agree with the officiating.
In a tight game with the Oregon Ducks Saturday, Miller was visibly upset following an offensive foul called on Allonzo Trier.

“The play before halftime I almost had an out of body experience, I couldn’t remember where I was,” Miller said after the game. “I thought I was having a stroke in the locker room because I thought I saw the ball go off of them.
“No official is perfect, but that is one they probably missed.”
Miller’s near “out of body experience” included a stare down with officials before he headed into the locker room.

In the second half, Miller continued his tirade when he responded to Deandre Ayton’s technical with a — subtle — head-to-scoring-table move.

He eventually turned on himself.

Miller didn’t get a technical for his antics, but he did get a big response from social media.

I'm convinced that Sean Miller isn't actually a human being. He's a cartoon coach from Looney Tunes.

But even through all the madness, Arizona was able to hold on at home, winning 90-83.
