Welcome Coach Miller

Might not be a "grand slam" today, but I don't see people struggling to back Archie like they would Alford.

Considering Archie was one of my favorites at the start of the search, I'm pumped for what he can bring to IU basketball!

Let's get #6!

I don't know how some of you can't be stoked. Only Stevens or Donovan would've been better hires

I agree. I believe that if the Donovan name was never even in existence to happening and Archie was announced, everyone would be like "YES!!!"...now it seems like a letdown to people just because we got our hopes up about Donovan. The way we need to truly look at it is this: Crean is the coach we fired, so is Archie an upgrade to Crean? IMO, I give a resounding YES.

No we don't. Marshall was never gonna leave Wichita State. He's like Mark Few at Gonzaga. This was the best hire outside of Stevens or Donovan. And those guys are in the NBA

That is subjective at best. There are many, many College coaches that have accomplished much more then Archie. Were they available/interested? No idea, but declaring him the best college coach available just isn't accurate.

Having said that, I do hope he succeeds spectacularly. I'm not excited- but hey it's not Alford, so that's a win.

I truly believe once you get past the NBA guys this is who we needed out of college basketball. I know some will say Bennett and I can completely respect that but this is a guy under 40 who has been to an elite 8 and shows nothing but Elite level potential. I know he might flame out but I just can't see it.
