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.  

Former IU players react to hiring of Archie Miller

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

Has anyone else noticed the subtle digs the national reporters are sending Crean's way about his coaching and recruiting style?

LOL. I grew up and live in Illinois. That Rivalry is intense, but in Central Illinois there are a lot of "mixed" families. I grew up in one. My mom was a Cubs fan. Her side of family are all Cuba fans. My dad was a Cardinal fan. His side were all Cardinal fans. They had 6 kids. 3became Cuba fans and 3 became Cuba fans. I actually cheered for Cubs in WS in memory of my mom.

Yep I'm way past Donovan. Honestly, the more I think about it, the more that I think Archie is a better get than Donovan. One, Archie is young and has time on his side. Two, being from the Midwest, he gets IU. And three, potential through the roof

I have been reading a lot of coaches and talking head's statements about Archie and one that keeps popping up that I love is that he is "BLUE COLLAR". I always liked the toughness and swag that Knight and Sampson brought to the team as coaches. Of course Sampson fell short in other areas and Archie appears to be the total package with that blue collar edge. We could use a lotta blue collar--small town --work ethic in BTown . I think that will go a long way to getting a team to play D and in getting high school coaches back on board because in many ways--Coach Miller is one of us! The last time we had a blue collar, no-nonsense coach with Ohio roots (Knight) --it worked out pretty well. Let's hope it does again!

Another thing is Billy always would've felt like a hired gun. I think he would've had a lot of success here but he wouldn't have been "ours" in a sense. With Archie it's cool because he has the opportunity to grow with the program. He could be here 25-30 years and become synonymous with Indiana basketball like Bob Knight was back in the day. That's something I really hope to see happen.

I love Archie's Indiana-first recruiting philosophy but he has a lot of other recruiting connections he brings to the table and not just in the Midwest from his Dayton and Ohio State days--but also in the East from his NC State assistant days and in the West from his Arizona assistant days. I can't wait to see who he brings in to help the program as I predict we will continue to recruit nationwide with a special emphasis on Indiana kids.

Yeah Archie is gonna be here for quite some time. He understands IU and what to do to make them successful. That's something IU hasn't had since Knight. Gonna be great

I sound like a broken record with this technology crap, but why doesn't the app show notifications?

If you are on iPhone, it's because the new update hasn't kicked in yet. Should be any day now

Ok see I just kind of assumed this was common sense for a college coach. 

[HoosierTrav 7,635]

Just throwing this out there bc I keep forgetting to mention it.......I'm a Cubs fan and I remember how I felt after they announced Theo Epstein as General Manager. It was a feeling of unwavering and effortless trust...... I have the exact same feeling now that I had then.
