This is a good article concerning the hiring of Archie. It kind of makes the flight aware stuff look silly. He met with IU officials in Atlanta and San Jose.

Awesome story. I am glad Archie told them before Alford said no to shut people up. The job was spoken for probably before then but I am glad we didnt just jump into it. We took our time made sure no one like Donovan would change his mind and got our guy. Woot woot

Gonna have to compete with the big dogs with recruiting. Izzo still carries more weight than Archie Miller. Crean thought Indiana would land him the 5 stars. It didn't quite work out like that.

The last couple of years our guys would work hard to get a guy and it would come down to us and a place like Michigan State, and (Tom) Izzo would end up getting them,” John Miller said. “And it wasn’t because the kid didn’t want to go to UD. It was like, ‘Hey, it’s Michigan State! It’s Izzo!’ And boom, we’d lose him because it was a bigger place.”

This is a GREAT article!
A must read for all that want to know how the real story of the Archie hire went down.

Annnd... this cements that Billy D was never in Bloomington.

Did anyone mention its FCTC's bday today?

There no way they risk being exposed bringing a coach into Bloomington like that.

Yet another reason not to like this hire. The article in the Dayton paper quotes Archie's dad saying "Cal is a good family friend"

Since Cal is a good family friend, maybe Archie could talk him into resuming our rivalry game.  Worth a shot.

So...we have to give this guy 2, 3, 4, or 5 years to see the payoff with this hire (per Rabjohns)?  Great.

This is where we are at as a basketball school.

If we're not in the elite 8 by year 6 , Glass and Miller can get Crean'd.

We should send him a card telling him we've been thinking of him a lot. A whole lot.

[cljones1979 740]

I think after 2 yrs we will see if it's going anywhere. As long as he doesn't have to rebuild if a bunch of players leave. He will be good. I didn't think so at first but after watching video and doing a little research I have came around

Lol or before he took down his twitter account sent him a link to the Fire Crean thread saying the same.

That sounds fair to me. Crean got 9, but had to take 2-3 just to clean the program up and get it back on its feet.

My first instinct, however, tells me the guy that coached Dayton to the elite 8, then to two tourney wins with no player over 6'6" (after he had a player die, two dismissed and a 4-star freshman miss 21 games) won't have that much trouble getting there.

[TheWatShot 14,103]

Sampson and Davis both won 21 games with their first teams. I think Miller is definitely capable of that.
