Alright, let’s talk about something that popped up on my screen the other day. I saw the phrase ‘sean miller missing’ floating around somewhere, maybe it was a forum thread or just a weird suggested search. It kinda stopped me for a second because, you know, ‘missing’ sounds serious.
My first thought was, wait, the basketball coach? Sean Miller? Is he actually missing? Like, police reports and stuff? Seemed pretty wild if that was the case, figured it would be bigger news.
Digging In A Bit
So, naturally, I did what anyone would do. I opened up a new tab and just typed it in. ‘sean miller missing’. Hit enter and waited to see what came back.
What I got wasn’t exactly what I expected. There wasn’t anything about him being a missing person in the literal sense. No alerts, no family pleas, nothing like that. Thank goodness, honestly.
Instead, the results were all over the place, mostly talking about his career:
- Lots of stuff about his time at Arizona.
- Articles about him leaving Arizona.
- Then chatter about where he’d end up next.
- Eventually, stuff about him landing the job back at Xavier.
Figuring It Out
So, piecing it together, it looked like the ‘missing’ part wasn’t about him vanishing off the face of the earth. It was more like ‘missing from the headlines’ or ‘missing from the sidelines’ during that gap period between his coaching jobs. You know how it is, someone’s really high profile for years, then they’re suddenly not in the news every day after a job change or getting fired.
People probably just used the term loosely, like ‘Where’d he go?’ or ‘He’s missing from the NCAA tournament talk this year’. It makes sense in that context. He wasn’t coaching for a bit there, so he was, in a way, ‘missing’ from the scene people were used to seeing him in.
It was a quick little rabbit hole. Started with a phrase that sounded alarming, ended up just being about sports talk and career moves. Pretty anticlimactic, really, but it satisfied my curiosity. Just goes to show how words can get twisted online. Anyway, that was my little search adventure for the day. Found him, just not in the way I first thought!
