If they could get him...man, this place would be rocking. I think there is a better chance in 2021 than in 2017.

Some guy in Boston that coached at this small private college in Indianapolis.

Just curious...who is the first call

My thoughts exactly. If he's still the coach this time next week...ugh

I'll make a prediction, come Monday morning Archie is no longer our coach. Wouldn't be shocked if it happens today.

Norman Dale was spotted at Nick's

Chris Beard wouldn't surprise me. I know he took Texas Tech to the championship game but the last two years I don't think he had a championship caliber roster. He did just sign an extension not too long ago. Maybe he thinks he could win at Indiana. That being said I think Billy Donovan took Florida (football school) to the title game in 2000 and 6 years later won a title.

A couple times. I never thought he was a legit 5 star. But I thought by the time he was a sophomore or junior he'd be a really good college player. Not sure about the NBA...

Bingo. I don't like it either but they are probably pissed.

I do too...he has 5 star vision. A good offseason would do wonders for him. I just don't want the family to bring down the culture. As I said above the family is probably frustrated. They were most likely misled by the staff into Khristian leaving Reitz a year early. That's on them too.

I would hate to see him leave too. He's from my hometown and I'd love to see the kid succeed. That being said...mommies don't need to be sending the coaches text messages-assuming this is true. If that's how they are going to be well goodbye. We can blame Archie all we want (he for sure is #1 to blame) but this is part of the problem too. Smith's dad and I think Forrester's dad were running their mouths on Twitter in the past few years. Leal's mom tweeting "play him!!" That just doesn't work at Indiana. I know a lot of you hate Dakich but this is where he is spot on. It might at another program. Purdue had a mom running her mouth online. That kid is gone now and I'm pretty sure he's not having much success at the other school. It just doesn't work. That being said KL should still be in high school. I bet that is why mom used the term "used car salesman" They were probably misled by Archie. I feel bad for the kid. Good chance he would've been Mr. Basketball and could've contended for a state title at Reitz. They won sectionals without him. Imagine if he was on the team still.

I wouldn't fall out of my chair if they announce something tomorrow to be honest. I'm sure dialogue has happened. Some of you have even predicted this might be mutual. I don't see how Archie even wants to come back.

Just clicked over to HSN. Their "Fire Archie Thread" wasn't loading for me because the web activity is so busy.

My thoughts that mean nothing..it's time for a change. I have no doubt Archie Miller is a good man. It just hasn't clicked at Indiana. To me, losing your last six games has to be the final straw. They were in the tournament before this collapse. You just can't keep him around. Scott Dolson makes good money to figure this out. You simply can't keep him for another year. My gut feeling..he is gone and it will be a mutual agreement. I have no clue who the next coach will be. But it needs to be a proven winner at a P5 conference. Archie Miller will be successful at a school like Dayton. I'd love to have him as the UE coach if it comes open. But this can't continue.

Crazy how much you miss if you don't check this in the morning...just to recap @Chris007 Last night (or the final game) will be it for Archie and Dolson is comfortable that there is interest in this job?.

This just hit me...it was a year ago on the Wednesday of the Big Ten tournament when it all hit the fan. Early in the second half the NBA news broke. I knew then and there this would've been the last game of the season. I stopped caring about the game. It was like the Maryland game when the Kobe news broke.

Indiana Basketball should be able to pay a coach in the top ten as far as salary goes. I think Miller was 20. That's unacceptable.

Only thing that would change my perspective on Miller would be a 2011-2012 like season. Indiana went from being in the basement of the Big Ten to a legit National Title contender in one season.

I 100% expect Lander to make a jump. I'm from Evansville so I've seen him play. He doesn't strike me as a 5 star recruit/one and done like the media thought. But he can be an All-Big PG. He totally should be in high school still. In fact his Reitz team would've had a legit shot at State. But that being said had he stayed at Reitz and waited to commit, I think he would've ended up choosing Michigan.

I think I said this last week but I wish Terry Hutchens was still around. He would for sure write a book about this and it would be terrific. I have a few guesses as to why it failed. 1) I think (key word think) Archie was afraid to coach Romeo. I think that ultimately pissed off the team and set the tone for the last few years. Say what we want about Calipari, but I think the reason Romeo didn't consider UK was because Cal wouldn't kiss his a$$. 2) He inherited a terrible roster and for whatever reason kept a lot of these guys here. Now was that Archie's choice, admins? Who knows. He just didn't inherit a big ten roster. 3) That being said, he missed on recruits. Jake Forrester, Damezi Anderson...it's looking like Jerome and Rob were overrated . Archie had to hit on that 2018 class. Imagine if Jake, Damezi, Jerome, and Rob lived up to the expectations of the staff. This team would be pretty good with the addition of Trayce and Armaan. Outside of Romeo that class is almost as bad as the movement. 4) I think he lost the fan base losing 12/13 in the 2018-2019 season. Each of the last three coaches have lost the fan base and it's hard to recover from that..right or wrong... Davis lost it by missing the tournament two years in a row, Sampson by the NCAA Violations (Although those seem minor now), and Crean losing to Syracuse in 2013.

What's crazy..I think under the right circumstance this isn't a bad roster. I just have zero faith in this coaching staff. If Parker Stewart is as good as we think and Armaan improves a little, you have two potential All-Big Ten guards. When was the last time IU had that? Add Brunk coming back if he's healthy and the addition of Duncomb that's not a terrible frontcourt with Race (I expect TJD to leave). Add in improvement from our freshmen and yes Rob playing better this is probably a tournament team. I didn't expect much from the freshman class this year. Leal has been disappointing because I thought he would bring more shooting wise but Trey and Jordan are contributing about what I expected. I really can't judge Lander yet. He should be in high school still. By no means is this an endorsement for Archie Miller. I just don't think the roster is as bad as we think.

If he actually said that, he's coming back.

This 100%. Especially Duke and UNC.

This is well said! I just think if you know your coach isn't the guy, you move on. It's Scott Dolson's job to find the right guy. Even Brad Stevens isn't a sure thing! Nobody is. But that doesn't mean this program should keep Archie. I'm also curious...was Archie really the only person this university interviewed in 2017? That is pathetic if so.

Absolutely not. I just find it hard to believe that right now Indiana can't find a good basketball coach who has won at the P5 level for their program.
