Now that I think about it, his teams were ALWAYS on the bubble. I just cannot believe how off the national media is about the hire. Heard Gotlieb ramble on Dan Patrick about how he was told it was Alford. 

Only ESPN. I haven't read any other outlets that thought the way Greenberg or Gottlieb does

I thought all around this presser was about as good as I could have imagined. The part I enjoyed the most was his plan to get IU basketball more involved at all levels of Indiana basketball, from high school to the grass routes level. I think the AAU and high school coaches get so sick of the lip service and what-can-you-do-for-me-now attitude that I feel like Crean had. If he builds genuine relationships I think this will go a long way in helping him build his reputation around the state and with landing the elite talent around the state. 

Not sure if it's NCAA legal, but an interesting move he could make is do satellite camps around the state on Indiana much like Harbaugh does around the country. Could be a great way to accelerate recruiting and unite the state. 

As each day passes, I get more and more excited at the thought of Coach Archie Miller at IU.

I apologize in advance if this article from Terry Hutchens has already been posted on btb.  Admittedly a small sample and he could pick which players to quote but I think it does demonstrate that not every former player was hung up on it being Alford or an IU guy.

Love it. Pat Graham, AJ Guyton and Steve Risley know what's up. All of them explaining Archie's attributes and what he brings to the game of basketball. And as AJ said, IU now has a coach that played PG on the collegiate level and knows what to expect. That's gonna be one of the biggest (and best) differences with Archie
