LAS VEGAS — The first time Arizona met up with UCLA at the Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas 10 years ago, UA point guard Mark Lyons was called for a double-dribble in the second half of the Wildcats’ 66-64 loss…
However, UCLA’s Jordan Adams knocked the ball away from Lyons’ hands, which shouldn’t result in a double-dribble.As a result of the clearly incorrect call, then Arizona head coach Sean Miller repeatedly said, “He touched the ball,” in a postgame rant about his technical foul subsequent to Lyons’ double-dribble call. A decade later, Lyons still isn’t blaming the officials or Miller’s technical foul.
“Life is more precious to me now. Embracing people, everyone is different,” Lyons said. “Growing up, I always felt like I had to do so much to make it and push myself extra. But honestly, everything is already written. You just have to take things one day at a time and stop worrying about things that are so far ahead. I just take things one day at a time and follow the script.”
A: “Honestly, I was either heading to Kentucky or Kansas, which I would’ve did, because Arizona had Josiah Turner . When I got the call from Coach Miller, I was shocked. He was like, ‘Yeah, I need you to come play for me.’ I’m like, ‘You got a point guard, coach. I’m trying to playing point guard in my last year.’ Next thing you know, he was telling me that Josiah was no longer on the team anymore, and we wanted to rekindle that flame since I didn’t get to play for him.
Did the Arizona players ever bring up Miller’s ‘he touched the ball’ moment from the Pac-12 Tournament?
