Welcome Coach Miller

[cappymo14]

According to this guy from ESPN analytics , the Greek Frank's little brother may follow Miller to IU and elgible for the 2nd semester. Kostas was a 4 star a couple years ago.

I hope he brings someone. I've been worried for a while as to what kind of team would be here to coach. I think things could get worse before they get better (record wise). Assuming we lost the big 3 and the 2017 recruits don't re-sign. Anybody else have thoughts on this?

I don't ever recall Rick saying that. This is odd.

Sarcasm. It's all good. Today was a good day my friend.

Mile got the email yesterday. He has been close to Rick for years. Not once did Mile take a hard stance on Donovan coming to IU just said it was a name he heard. There was no agenda for him to push. 

So let me get this straight. Mile got an email from Rick Bozich saying Donovan was in Bloomington. Alex his son was calling out people for this exact rumor. Rick who contacted his buddy in Colorado never contacts his own son who covers this team to let him in on this secret? Come on man... I was a mod with him for a few years. People tell him things on the boards but I never once heard him say Rick Bozich and him ever spoke. I am sorry but he lied on this one.

For anyone questioning the state of the IU job because of us hiring Miller and not a bigger name, I have to ask if any of the other top college jobs opened up right now (UNC, KU, UK, Louisville, UCLA) and none of them could pull Donovan or Stevens, what would their coaching candidates look like? (save Duke because of Collins). I don't see Few ever leaving Gonzaga, and going forward I don't see that much of a dropoff between Archie and Marshall or S. Miller. 

Agree. Archie was going to the next big job.

CCG can vouch for what I said. Mile looked for information all around on recruiting. He contacted a lot of various fan boards for info. I have no doubt he knows people as he is an alum. This whole sourced thing is way overblown.

Yea, if you would have  told the board in January Crean is gone and we hired Archie people would have been ecstatic 

[mdn82]

Ok

Honestly he is a good dude. I think he got caught up in this one though. In the 10 years I have known him (mostly from Scout and then HSN as a fellow mod) people would send him messages. He got a chub once from DD calling him out on the radio. That isn't a guy that knows all of these people. Osterman was on that board for a bit. Hutch did a couple of things. But not Bozich. Ken wasn't even a fan of Alex and never spoke of Rick. Plus wouldn't Rick be covering U.K. in the Tournament much like Hutch was covering Butler?

Not this guy. I would be sitting in the same spot. Hopeful, but not all that excited

Who knows. You got me. Apparently I was fleeced by him. 

[mdn82]

Okay then. 

Trust me this isn't for you. This is for him. He reads this board and has an account here. Right Mr. Hadley?

Notified 41 about it. Pretty sure he was checking into it.

What are the images supposed to be of?

Is it twisted to hope Dayton hires Crean?

[Trish]

I think Archie needs to keep Crean on staff for his public speaking. Archie not very good, Crean can develop him!

For their sake, I hope they set the bar a little higher than that.

The problem though if you look at Mike White's whole career on Wikipedia , he is a southern boy and seems to enjoy staying down there

Listen everyone on here knows I really like Mike White and I follow UF basketball almost half as much as IU and that is saying a lot. Mike White is NOT leaving UF for anything other than the NBA or Duke. When he started out his dad had big time college teams ready to offer him an assistant spot because of daddy. Mike turned them down and wanted his own path. Even went as far as saying I will make it and once I do I dont want my daddy helping me being a barrier for people to use. He loves Florida and looks at it in the same light as pretty much any program because of the success Billy D was able to have there. It was a stretch to think he would have came here seriously. I listened to quite a few podcast once the SEC tourney started and once the tourney got underway. Guys down there expect Florida to give him an extension after this year and it is looking like it will be very big numbers. Guys said he was even willing to put a clause in the contract that he didnt leave unless it was Duke or NBA to make his buyout higher if they do go the extension route which looks 100% likely. I have no doubt in 5 years he will be one of the best coaches and people are gonna say we should have gotten him but I dont believe he was going anywhere. We could have thrown 5 mill at him and got him probably but that is taking a huge risk. Even I know he could flame out. Doubt it happens but he doesnt have the track record yet to know for a fact he wont.

Though I will support and give Miller a chance, this hire seems like a major let down after that sunshine pumping 2 sided lawyer speech that we got the other day. Miller has potential but that's not exactly what FC said they were looking for! Let's refrain judgement of our new coach and give him some time to show us this was a good decision.
