Welcome Coach Miller

[bigrod 2,864]

Archie was my favorite choice before the Donovan rumors started. I really like him to be a long term guy that get it done. I'll be happy either way

Same here. He was at the top for me after Donovan. I really think he'll do well at Indiana in a couple years.

This will be a good hire peeps. Give him time. As a recent Dayton resident, people loved him and his family. Very connected in the community and did great things with what they had.  With IU's resources he will have us competing soon. 

Things are looking up!

The search shouldn't have gotten past Stevens, Donovan, Archie or Bennett. If it's true with Archie, he got the best college coach available. Good job

Bennett would be the best college coach available.

If it is A. Miller, he will have everything he needs to prove his worth.

He has done very well with some pretty decimated rosters over the years. I'll be very happy with him.

Bennett wasn't leaving UVA

Anyone not named Stevens or Donovan was going to upset people so I'm not really that worried about most people's reactions. Give it time and then make your assumptions but to say things like "our elite status is gone" or "we'll be mediocre forever" is just flat out stupidity. I'm baffled by a fan base who defended Crean for years but won't even give Archie 1 day? Give me a break.

The Donovan effect. I'm pretty sure Archie was pretty high on many people's list until we started hearing Donovan might actually be plausible, now all of a sudden everyone hates Archie?

Is he a big name with an amazing track record, no. But he is young has shown some success and knowledge of the game. He has had teams where he's had to adapt and change his play, something we never saw in 9 years. I think he has the potential to do great things. Is he risky, most likely given that he's still at Dayton and doesn't have a resume at big time programs, but we've seen a lot of mid major coaches with similar resumes do great things. Yes we've seen them not do so well either. I have to believe Donovan was contacted and we have it our best try, and if we end up with Archie then he just didn't want to leave the NBA. I'll support Archie, and think he could be great given the better resources, better brand name, more financial resources for staff and recruiting budget. I'd rather have someone like Archie that has shown potential over a short time versus an Alford who has a 20 year resume of mediocre.

Archie has been hired!

Hoped for more considering the terms Glass set, but think Archie is going to do an excellent job.

My point is that it's a risk to take a coach from a mid major college, especially if you're fred glass right now. For every coach you just mentioned there's 10 others that turn out to be bad decisions from mid major programs

[Josh 12,604]

Oh crap this looks true. I had him so far near the bottom of my list that Alford was above him.

Hire Billy! That would be outstanding

[drewheck 749]

Were hired him 7 year deal

Believe me, I wanted Donovan. Well Stevens or Donovan. But Archie Miller was 3rd for me. So that obviously means he was the best college coach available. Archie is better than Bennett, Collins, Mack and Marshall. IU got the 3rd best choice on their list and the best choice in terms of getting someone that was already coaching college basketball
