YouTubed some clinic videos of Archie.  Seems like he will "fit" here much more than his predecessor.

Excellent thank you very much sir. Those extra wins puts us in the dance but keeps us Crean. A top performing coach stats should be much higher.

For comparison sake, Archie's Dayton tenure. Separated 2014-17 from the 1st 2 years he used to rid the funk.

Why is Jessie Eisenburg always around? I see stuff about him being in the area a lot of the time but I'm in the dark about the connection there.

That would make me extremely thrilled

[Hoosierfan2017 24,834]

Yeah he was getting 18-20 minutes and was not a starting guard. I think he felt he needed a bigger role and he Didn't like their style either.

Ahh okay gotcha. Well, a new coach is in town so if he wants to stay the starting pg it's there for the taking. I'm sure Archie will be able to help him improve as one.

After reading reactions from around the college basketball landscape, the only people I see that don't think this is a very good to great hire are those IU fans who were so sure it was going to be Donavon or those that wanted Alford because he is an IU guy.

Donovan was a pipe dream at best.

Yes he does and since IU has a coach now, IU will compete for the B1G championship next season

Ehhhh may want to push those expectations back a year or two. Lol.

His ex's mother is the founder of the middle way project here in Bloomington. Jesse loved the idea and has stuck around ever since.

He's also a Pacers fan.

Just watching some of his mix tapes, I can't imagine what he could be with high level facilities and training..

We need some really good assistant coaching to speed up this transition.

I really want John Groce. I think he's a solid coach, just got dealt a short hand with all those injuries and mishaps off the court.

His name actually has been thrown out there as a possible replacement for Archie at UD. 

[Me So Hornsby 2,747]

Not to keep going with the Antetokounmpo talk, but Arch clearly has a relationship with the family. Could put the younger brother(Alex) in a position to end up in Bloomington. Hype on him is unreal right now.

Donovan is a him. Late 1960's singer-songwriter. Very flower power sort.

[AZ Hoosier 10,833]

Best way to view BTB imo.

I prefer to say long shot.  He may have listened, but it would have been a huge accomplishment to get him or Stevens.

There really is a pool of about 6 guys (the ones we debated about endlessly) that are currently the best options for anyone looking to hire a coach.  Each in that group has pro's and con's but all are very good coaches and we got one of them (perhaps the one with the greatest upside).  It would be practically impossible for ANY program to pry Calipari or Self away.  All the other top tier coaches (perhaps except Few) are approaching the finish line and will be retiring soon.  Between now and when that happens there could be a coach that rises to the top, but right now there's no guarantee that UNC, Duke, Louisville, or MSU will have a better pool to choose from than we did.

From what I've seen of him, Archie Miller looks to have the demeanor, pedigree, and basketball smarts to develop into one hell of a coach for us.
