Miller chooses practice over days off 

Within the UA athletic department, Sean Miller is known as much for his work ethic as his recruiting and coaching skills. No wonder. Rather than take the last weekend of August off, Miller worked out on Saturday afternoon with guards Parker Jackson-Cartwright and Justin Simon and did the same on Sunday with Dusan Ristic and Ryan Anderson. Miller then engineered a 6 a.m. practice on Wednesday. Can’t imagine all the Pac-12 coaches doing the same.
