Sean Miller re-explains why Max Hazzard was benched in Arizona’s loss at ASU

It turns out it wasn’t one play that got Max Hazzard benched in the second half of Saturday’s loss at ASU, it was several.

After the game, Arizona coach Sean Miller had said it was poor clock management that put Hazzard on the pine. Arizona called a timeout with 17 seconds left in the first half, hoping to draw up a play so that it could build on its 15-point lead or, at the very least, maintain it.

But Hazzard, a little too overzealous, drove to the cup with eight seconds left, forcing up an errant shot.
