Welcome Coach Miller

[GloryDays]

What I like in this hire the most is the youth.Give him some time and he will get us where we need to be.I really think he's a better coach then his brother.Let him prove themself and not go crazy with extensions until your sure Fred.Welcome aboard Archie!

[rebelhoosier848891]

After the initial shock and honestly some disappointment--I have dug into some info on Miller and I am warming up to the hire. High offensive output like Crean but much more emphasis on defense. I think Alber and others had us believing it was Donovan and it takes a while for that to wear off. We almost all agreed it was time to give someone new a chance after Crean and a Miller hire would have been much more popular before all the Donavan hysteria started. Let's give Miller a chance Hoosier Nation. Miller's a good coach and a Hoosier now and will have my support to get us back to greatness. Let's get to work...

Link doesn't work. I need all the literature I can get to be excited about this hire.

I see no reason to back off at all. He reported this as truth, and true Trumpian fashion doubled down and tripled down multiple times.  He didn't report this as a maybe, he reported it as a fact.  

A journalist that doesn't admit the mistake loses all credibility.

This is probably the biggest fail for him, but he's also just known for being a complete hack when it comes to reporting things

Evan Daniels said the deal is supposed to be around 3 mill not 4 mill.

And perhaps he firmly believes the guy was on campus. I am telling you I know where the source of the intel comes from. I'd believe it too.

Dana O'Neil is actually really good. One of ESPN's best in covering CBB imo.

I respect your opinion.  Reporters have a conflict of interest.  Their primary job is to write stories to sell adds and get clicks, period.  In order to write the story, you have to have access.  AN honest opinion which isn't favorable to the subject the story is about, seriously reduces access, reduced access, very limited stories.  This IU hire is a BIG STORY, everybody wants access, therefore, I would imagine every story will be positive. In today's age, the story will, in most instances, be written in a way which doesn't jeopardize the reporters ability to earn a living.  My .02

I couldn't get Donovan. I couldn't get Stevens. Didn't want anything to do with Alford. I was lukewarm about Bennett. Guess I'm gonna have to take a Flyer on this one.

Then if he wants to gain any credibility back, he needs to name his source, and make an apology.  In IU circles, he stepped all over himself in a big way.  He probably should have double and triple checked the source, before making the type of claim he made, and then when the info started coming out about Donovan being at practice, should have either gone silent, or given up some kind of proof.  

I've never met Justin, and he could be a really good guy, but as a reporter........

I stopped reading pretty early on. But yes IU can outbid the thunder. UK is paying Cal more than the thunder will pay Donovan.

This was about 2,000 words of nonsense and conjecture.  Donovan to IU is highly probable at this point.  BD will make far more over a 7-10 year span at IU and also have job security that will not exist in OKC, especially when Westbrook opts out next season.

Ok, the hire is growing on me every minute, especially after this-

 

'But as far as dealing with the stuff that comes with the Indiana job, he’s going to take the approach of `You can take your Internet and all your whatever and you can shove it up you’re a** and I’m going to do my job. I’m here to win games.’’’

I'm warming up to the hire, slightly, but too bar fair the national media thought Crean was a home run too.

[Trish]

I'll give him a few months to sale me a product. I know it would be smart to give him a couple seasons, but this isn't a complete rebuild. 

He needs to win me over in recruiting, coaching clinics, and community awareness this summer. 

His offense concerns me, it seems a little Creany to me. His defense shouldn't be an issue. HIs recruiting also seems a little concerning.

I'll take Archie over Sean all day. We know what Sean can do with tons of talent.

Sean just can't do it in the dance. Hope Lil Bro fares better.

[Stuhoo]

For me, my BtownBanners published preference list was:
1) DonovanStevens 2) Sean Miller 3) someone under 45 years old.
Based on those criteria, Fred Glass likely went and got me the #1 guy nationally who was interested in the job.
