Dalton26 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 One of my criteria was very simple won a postseason tournament. Miller has not. I've seen your posts and I don't really have anything bad to say about them. You said you'd support him but you weren't excited. I'm 100% cool with that I just have issue with the fans that are throwing a fit saying IU is done blah blah blah and aren't willing to give the guy more than 5 minutes.

HoosierTrav Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 I'll support coach Miller but this confirms our place among "everyone else" in college basketball. Blue bloods don't make hires like this. Kentucky, duke, UNC would not take a chance on someone like this. I hope he succeeds and succeeds at a high level but this is a bit deflating Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appThe only one that wouldn't be taking a risk on was Donovan. Everyone else has risk involved. As for young guys, it's important to get feedback from their peers. Not sure any young coach is a well regarded as Archie Miller. He's proven his chops as a recruiter and he's CONSISTENTLY done more with less, while at Dayton. He has made 4 straight NCAA tournaments (Dayton has only made 1 in the previous 9 seasons), won 2 straight A-10 regular season championships, 2017 A-10 Coach of the Year, made an Elite 8........ this is a homerun hire. Crean's biggest knock was consistency... This won't be an issue with Archie. Both my head and my gut tells me that Archie Miller is going to restore us to elite status within the next 2 seasons.

I think he'll recruit the state well and I think a lot of instate kids in these next couple classes that didn't have much interest in us will be changing their mind now. I'm not going as far as saying he's going to "lock up the state" because I don't really think that's possible these days, but I think we'll be very pleased with what he does on the recruiting front.

LamarCheeks Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 I like this hire. Let's face it: Donovan and Stevens weren't happening. Wanted no part of Alford. I thought Bennett and Miller were the next best "candidates," and I don't think Bennett was gonna happen, either. I think he's still pissed IU fired his sister all those years ago.

ThompsonHoosier Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Why are so many people being so negative right now? Archie hasn't even coached a single minute at IU yet! And let's be honest, even if we would have hired Donovan a lot of people (not most of you in this board) would have been upset that we didn't hire Alford. Were fans excited when IU hired Knight after having a mediocre season at Army? My guess is probably not and we all know how that turned out. Anyways, I wish nothing but the best to Archie and hopefully he can lead us back to greatness! Dizz and Milldawg12 2 Quote

Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Just saw the UK radio stations had all pin pointed Archie as their guy once Cal was done within 5 years. Also said it was him or Marshall but age difference would make Archie the favorite. All we did was get him sooner. He may flame out but I dont believe he will. I am excited to say he is our coach. Like I said yesterday if we were taking a risk. Then Mike White, Archie and maybe Chris Collins were home run hires. If you truly want this guy to fail then your not an IU fan. Sorry but its true. Billy wasnt coming. We all thought maybe but the smoke screens of Billy never had legs sides optimist IU fans.
