As does the question regarding whether he called out the coach by name or not.

THe ESPN article quotes officials who were in the room who said Rush did in fact specifically mention Miller, and only Miller:

Officials confirmed that Rush made the "joke" twice during the Pac-12 tournament on Thursday in a meeting and then again Friday after the Arizona-UCLA game when Miller was given a technical on a double-dribble call. The technical foul ended up being the difference in the game with UCLA beating Arizona by two. Miller was then fined $25,000 for his behavior, but Pac-12 officials say it had to do with Miller being warned.

"Ed Rush doesn't joke," said one official. "To say it was a joke is absolutely not true. If he meant it in jest, then he had time to correct it the second day and he didn't. And the only coach he mentioned was Sean Miller."

Officials confirmed that Rush went into the meeting before the UCLA-Arizona game and was banging a chair up an down, demanding the officials perform at a higher level. And then, according to the officials, Rush hurled a boxed lunch against the wall after the game, nearly hitting one of the officials in the head.
