Miller actually took as much responsibility in the press conference for it as was reasonable for him to take, I thought.
He said he should not have done anything to even make it possible to get a T, but that he didn't really understand what it was that justified it.
He wasn't saying "Hey, I didn't curse, so you should not T me!" He was saying (and I paraphrase) "I don't know what I did - I wasn't out of the box, I didn't curse, I didn't attack him verbally, I just said 'HE TOUCHED THE BALL!'"
Then he went into the famous "HE TOUCHED THE BALL" rant.
And he was right, btw - the UCLA player DID touch the ball.
Now, it turns out that it may be the case that Miller had heard about the comment made by Rush before the game, and hence before the press conference. Which would make it all a bit more interesting, and in which case I actually am pretty surprised Miller didn't flip out even more than he did in that press conference.
Great press conference...
