What does that emoji even mean. I'm clueless on the context it is supposed to be used in

I think the better question is, who cares?

[Hoosier Guy]

I think what it means is that Blackmon is gonna consider coming back for his senior year. Archie could actually draw up plays with screens for him

[Old Friend]

This is a hire that says Fred Glass made a decision based on what he thinks Miller WILL do, not what he has done.   Our timing just hasn't been right to get a "home run."  For example, Brad Stevens was never available when we were.   Glass is betting on the come.   Which he said he would do.  Archie Miller at Indiana will be a different coach than Archie Miller at Dayton.  Time will tell; and while I think everyone needs to support the man, I get some of the disappointment in the hire.  

I wonder if guys like me who grew up on 1976 Indiana Basketball, 1981 Indiana Basketball, etc....might need to make a harsh realization that this job just isn't what I thought it was....but then again, the University made that decision long ago.  There just were not many "huge names" or home run hires available.  Is this the best young guy?  He's certainly a good young guy.  He has won two A10 titles in a row,  That's about it.  He's someone I'm sure Glass thinks will be here for a long time; and I suppose time will tell.  I'm not blown away, but not disappointed.

I'm disappointed to be honest, still watch every game and be supportive of the program, but I'm underwhelmed.

Yep, sure do. Guess it depends on how you feel about Archie. I love the hire, think he is easily going to take us to deeper than the Sweet Sixteen.

 

Also, my comment was more a jab at the low expectations that Purdue fans accpet

We should probably advance beyond that round first

[Dizz]

Archie is definitely the best option.

 

Donovan - Can't win with a triple double machine

Mack - No eyebrows

Marshall - Looks just like Crean; wife

Bennett - Too handsome, would distract our players

White - Just graduate high school

We would've lost at least 3 or 4 more games without Blackmon this season. 

Might have won 5 or 6 more without him for all we know. 

[Bowhunter]

He's gonna start by getting Romeo

Unreal

Have you given any thought to the idea that he was NOT in Bloomington?

Uhhh, yeah. Hence the "just entertain the thought please" part of my post. Still seemed it was 50/50

[HoosiersLoveBanners]

This move has a lateral floor, but a very high ceiling.

 

It's the best move we could've made other than hiring Stevens or Donovan. Which ended up being unrealistic, and that's ok.

It's time to get behind the coach and program again!

Does anyone have kenpom offense/defense stats for Dayton the past few years handy?

It'd be nice to see his strength of schedule too, I really hope our RPI improves in the non-conference now.

2016-2017: Offense - 57 Defense - 41

2015-2016: Offense - 146 Defense - 15

2014-2015: Offense - 74 Defense - 34

who would've replaced him? Green or Curtis Jones. haha.

Very pleased. Terrific young coach. Midwest recruiting roots. Everything out there about him as a person is highly positive. 

What I really like, and this is the one issue I had with Donovan, is that if Archie goes on a long successful run as an elite Coach, he will be identified and remembered as our guy. Love that. We would have always had to share Donovan's success with Florida. 

Welcome Coach.

So nobody on the roster? At least consistently.

I think he'd lead the conference in scoring if this happened.

Donovan, Marshall, SMiller were the big ones to me.
