Sean Miller sweating memes: Revisiting Texas coach's soaked sideline photos before dress code change originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
It's no secret that everyone sweats, especially when playing sports. But while coaching? That's a different story.
Current Texas Longhorns coach Sean Miller went viral 10 years ago while on the sidelines coaching the Arizona Wildcats. Miller's team was in the first round of the 2016 NCAA Tournament when the camera panned to him, which was so soaked that it was virtually see-through. Miller has since not worn many button-up shirts or worn that "breathable" one without an undershirt, and hasn't had another major incident.
Let's take a walk down memory lane and revisit the photo that gave Miller the reputation as one of the NCAA's sweatiest athletic members.

While it's normal to sweat a lot on a basketball court, Miller was soaked, and he wasn't even playing. His appearance during this game made its rounds across social media and gave Miller a reputation that he still hasn't been able to live down.

Sean Miller sweating memes
Along with sharing the still photo of Miller perspiring profusely, many college basketball fans delivered their own commentary on the former Arizona and current Texas coach. Here are some of the best.
One Texas fan credited the Longhorns' merchandise for appearing dry during Miller's coaching performances.
Another fan chimed in, saying "Sean Miller sweat so much they changed the dress code cause they got tired of seeing him look like he just got off a water slide by halftime."
Here is a comedic play of words on Texas' appearance in the Sweet 16.
Another fan was looking out for Miller, as he opted to wear a sweater while coaching an Xavier game.

Why does Sean Miller sweat so much?
While coaching is far from a stress-free job, Miller did have a reason for why his 2016 NCAA Tournament game displayed him as a human slip-and-slide.
In an interview with The Arizona Daily Star, the former Wildcats coach mentioned that he was wearing a shirt that was said to be more "breathable." Therefore, the shirt was intended to make him sweat less, but it appeared to have the adverse effect.
“It seemed like something happened to me, like I was sick or I was a raving lunatic on the sideline, that I sweated at a level that’s never been seen before,” Miller said. “But the truth be told, I tried a new shirt that was positioned to me as being more breathable and they were right, which means less material."
Miller continued, "I want to clarify one thing: I didn’t sweat on that day any more (than usual). It’s that I didn’t try out the shirt that I wore. Clearly made an error not having an undershirt and no question I had a bad night, coupled with the fact that we lost."
Now with the Texas Longhorns, Miller usually dons a Longhorns quarterzip, which has not shown a multitude of perspiration during their tournament run.
