I'm getting excited guys.

Archie knows BB. Really hoping we can retain most of our team.

I bet we see better team defense and smarter play day1.

I think that there are some reasons to be positive. Having Knight pretty much ruined our fan base. He is the greatest college coach ever, and because of his character flaws there was never a shot at a smooth transition. Now many of us are left with expectations that no one could meet. If Miller can hold kids accountable for their mistakes on the floor, instill a tough defense and emphasize decision making on offense he will do fine. He is not what glass advertised, but he deserves a fair chance.

Agreed 1000%. Archie may not be that "home run" that we were all looking for but he is damn close. At first I was apprehensive of this hire (mostly because my head had been filled with illusions of grandeur thinking that we would get Billy) however most of the mainstream media, commentators and above all Dayton fans have helped me change my opinion. The numbers don't lie, if anything they tell me that he is a good coach. Im willing to give the man a chance, at the very least he is twice if not 3x better than Crean which is good enough for me.

Anyone else surprised Crean hasn't landed anywhere yet? Barely in the gossip mill. Wonder if he can pull off the Georgetown job.

He'd take Chuck with him right in his recruiting backyard. Could be a solid match.

Really curious to see how Crean's career unfolds.

What jobs are still open out there for him? I haven't been following all of that so I'm curious as to where he could land?

Yes. Improving them as a team (defense in particular) would be the biggest and easiest net gain. We pissed away so many close games this season.

i personally hope any that wants to leave go ahead and leave only four or five in that roster that are worth keeping, to many bad memories associated let them go and build back. We need to be rid of Crean in every way. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,501]

Dayton, Duquesne, UMass, Georgetown.

That's about it.

I think while the national media hyped him up, people who are in charge of basketball decisions to make aren't really all that high on him. They've seen what he's done at a place like IU and there's not a ton to be excited about. I don't see him at a "basketball school" for a long time. I've thought for a while that he should try to get a spot in the league as an assistant in a player development role. That seems to be the area where he excels the most.

I liked that video! I keep hearing Archie is a great X and Os coach and better than his brother. It sounds good and all but what are the facts that back this up? Also I am glad Calipari thinks he is a great hire but knowing that he is family, I wouldn't expect him to say anything less. I am causiously optimistic here.

Wouldn't that be a hoot if Crean took the Dayton opening?   LOL    Don't know if anyone wants to follow the Thompson family at G'town but then again, Crean was willing to step in on the heels of Sampson so who knows.  Of the 4 you mentioned G'town is the only one I think he'd truly be interested in because he at least stays in the 'major leagues' but from what I've read it also seems to be the least likely landing spot for him.   Is an NBA asst. position possible?  D-League?

Glad you're finally coming around man!

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,501]

I'm just like most others. During the season id have been stoked for this change but after that presser the bar was set so high.

I'm still worried if he can get the recruits we need. That's my only real worry.


I think I read that 10/10 starters in last year NCAA title game were top100 kids.

I think we'll be fine in the recruiting department. He did really well as an assistant at Arizona and Ohio state. I really do hope he looks at getting an assistant who knows the state well though. I think that could only help in our recruiting efforts. 

Another thing is that Archie has done more with less and that's really encouraging. Imagine when he starts pulling 5 stars

[johnsoniu 6,509]

I think Tom takes a year off. He should. He tried hard, I'll give him that. He can get a part-time gig as a studio analyst and look at the landscape next March. He'll land on his feet somewhere. Worse coaches than him have resurfaced. Hope he finds a good fit at a place where hoops isn't a religion. Fisher is retiring soon, San Diego St would be a great gig for him.
