Miller's constant foul problems

[UConn990411]

This issue doesn't get as much attention as it deserves, but Miller consistently being in foul trouble creates so many problems for this team.

It's hard to criticize the guy at all because he's been the team's best player all year. But he really does commit some boneheaded fouls.

His fouls must be obvious to the officials because it happens every game with different crews....clearly he has an issue.

He needs to realize how important he is to our team and be smarter. Some of his fouls are simply from banging down low but then he has the occasional head scratchers that are uncalled for

That being said, our team simply can't continue to suck when he's in foul trouble

Yeah this team is drastically different with him off the floor. Defensive rebounds and toughness go down, and generally the confidence and morale of the team goes down with him on the bench. 5th year senior needs to play smarter. Have to give him credit though most of the time it's him rotating after lackluster defense from other players

He is the only post defender. With Brimah going for the block, EVERY FREAKING TIME, he leaves himself and Miller hung out to pick up fouls.

His first foul, the offensive charge, seemed a bit off. At least no worse than the guy that ran into Brimah when Brimah's feet were outside the circle.

Yeah, it infuriates me and definitely puts on damper on our offense as there was no inside out in the second half from the post.

It's not just AB but this is a big reason, he's constantly making up for crappy defenders, or trying. Best thing for him is to let them go and keep his hand out of the cookie jar.
