Welcome Coach Miller

[Walking Boot of Doom]

Him and his brother are very similar. Both took over mid majors and made them strong programs. Sean then went to Arizona and has done a pretty good job. Archie will do the same for IU

Damn you're great at switching teams. Billy Donovan who? Had the Archie pump up posts ready to roll!

Hopefully I see Archie down here in New Albany Monday afternoon following the press conference, heck he could take a slight detour and drive through on his way to B-town instead of flying.

Last I checked, that it not on the way from Dayton.

So we won't have any "Millerisms" during press conferences? Already warming up to the hire.

Calipari on the hire: "If I were hiring a coach or to replace me it would be Archie."

In that case, we should fire him before he moves to Bloomington!  :)

What's our timetable for staff being announced.

He was below Stevens, Donovan, and Bennett for me. Those were the proven guys who I believe cashed the check Fred wrote when he fired Crean. Out of the group of young guns that have a lot of potential, I actually preferred Mike White over Archie.

Things I like about Archie:
1) AdjD increased every year since he arrived in Dayton, till this year it regressed slightly from 9 to I believe 41
2) Young and exciting with potential. Unlike Crean, I don't think we've seen his ceiling, and he has time to learn.
3) Comes from a basketball coaching family and played PG at the collegiate level, so he has a strong background and lifetime of exposure.

Things I don't like:
1) Worried by the AdjO regression while at Dayton. Inconsistent at best, and never put together an elite offense.
2) Potential also equals risk, and nothing he's done before promises any kind of future results. Would have preferred one of the sure fire guys listed above.

Overall, I'm excited. This is a positive step forward from a toxic situation with Crean. With Deron and Devonte hopefully back next year, plus any combination of the rest of the team returning, I believe we have a talented team that will do what their new coach has always done: exceed expectations.

Dana O'Neil is actually really good. One of ESPN's best in covering CBB imo.

I would have thought that Albers would have made his first comment one of apology for spreading the Donovan stuff yesterday!

I am going to tell you right now Albers was fed this information by someone well respected in the Kentuckiana sports media. Maybe we should back off a bit, eh?

Thank you. I appreciate the post.

 

I'm also worried about the offense. The recruiting concerns me as well. His classes don't look that impressive..

Ok, the hire is growing on me every minute, especially after this-

 

'But as far as dealing with the stuff that comes with the Indiana job, he’s going to take the approach of `You can take your Internet and all your whatever and you can shove it up you’re a** and I’m going to do my job. I’m here to win games.’’’

Link doesn't work. I need all the literature I can get to be excited about this hire.

I see no reason to back off at all. He reported this as truth, and true Trumpian fashion doubled down and tripled down multiple times.  He didn't report this as a maybe, he reported it as a fact.  

A journalist that doesn't admit the mistake loses all credibility.
