Welcome Coach Miller

[AZ Hoosier 6,025]

Interesting hire and here they said they wanted someone with Indiana ties.

 

It truly looks like IU wanted Alford, and when he said no (last night), Glass picked Archie. I don't think that was really what happened, but it's going to be the perception.

 

Looks VERY weak to me.

And now let's hope we get the 2nd coming of the Greek Freak as well!

Let's not let this news distract us from the fact that tracking planes actually worked.

That is subjective at best. There are many, many College coaches that have accomplished much more then Archie. Were they available/interested? No idea, but declaring him the best college coach available just isn't accurate.

Having said that, I do hope he succeeds spectacularly. I'm not excited- but hey it's not Alford, so that's a win.

Funny to call people out for being subjective while making subjective statements.

Not at all. Crean was a big reason Romeo wasn't considering IU too much

$50 he doesn't come to IU

I hope you guys are right that this is a good hire.  Like the fact that he's young, but concerned that it was so easy for me to get on BTB, meaning y'all aren't excited!

Any news on his staff?

It's Ok to be disappointed that the dream died, but come on. Everybody should hop on this wagon and let the man show what he can do at big time school. 

Tired of "giving time". ******* tired of it.

I'm torn between giving him a chance and pulling my hair out. I really had my hopes up for Donovan. Archie had been talked about but never was a reality for me. He's not the worst but imo certainly not the best. I just hope we didn't rush into this decision. Most especially I hope that we didn't miss out on Billy and end up seeing him on the sidelines at UofL. I guess we just have to hope for the best.

Nope. Neither are U.K., PU, Or Illinois fans. I went to RR and there hasn't been one negative thing said. Most just say "great hire" or a swing for the fence hire that makes sense. Lol and, "he isn't weird enough to dislike but now they have to."

How can you track planes of coaches?

I'll support coach Miller but this confirms our place among "everyone else" in college basketball. Blue bloods don't make hires like this. Kentucky, duke, UNC would not take a chance on someone like this. I hope he succeeds and succeeds at a high level but this is a bit deflating

Didn't UK hire billy Gillespie??

[maharkn 1,601]

Don't know much about his style of play. Do his bigs actually know post moves or do they hang around the 3?

Always good to see, especially when Marquette fans weren't  too broken up about Crean leaving when he did. Though other than Alford all the coaches we were speculating about it seemed like their fans would have been mad about their coach leaving

I do not agree with this. We are hiring a rising star coach who is talented and young. Every coach is a risk but he is are best chance we have hired since knight imo.

Well I done blueballed myself in hoping for BD. Now a hire that should get pumped has left me feeling down. My own fault I guess.
