Archie Miller's staff at Indiana will be Bruiser Flint, Tom Ostrom (Dayton) and Ed Schilling (UCLA),

[AKHoosier 6,528]

A name like "Bruiser Flint" makes him sound like a bad guy in an Adam Sandler movie.

He seems like a good candidate though.

I remember seeing FCTC's contract (pdf version) online a few years back... anyone found Archie's IU contract? Certainly a FOIA request would produce it...

Saw Crean's contract still on ITH; the original contract wasn't put together until early August so don't expect any details for awhile.

Indiana's Archie Miller will hire Bruiser Flint as an assistant, per a source. Former head coach at both UMass and Drexel. #iubb

Throw 1 million aT Groce and call it a staff

[HoosierTrav 7,609]

Why do folks think we have to have assistants that were successful head coaches? Show me the precedent set forth, that proves your point. Bruiser Flint is a proven recruiter and has worked on great staffs. Sign me up.

Not bad. Knows basketball. Seems authoritative. Will need to see how he recruits.

This.
One if the game's great personalities. With us for recruiting.
Archie is the floor coach and deal closer.
A functional, sensible methodology!

Now get Groce and Cheaney and call it a day!

 

Edit - Any Chance Keith Smart leaves the NBA?

Incredibly personable guy who recruits will love.
