Archie Miller's staff at Indiana will be Bruiser Flint, Tom Ostrom (Dayton) and Ed Schilling (UCLA),

[Stuhoo]

Is there somebody we can hire to help get Romeo?

 

Birdman. See above.

 

[Stuhoo]

What is the connection?

Indiana Elite.

That makes sense. If we could get an assistant with Indiana Elite or Spiece that could be very beneficial.

If Ostrom is coming on as an assistant I don't think you can have Hawkins. You can only afford to dedicate one of those assistant positions to a pure recruiter. Need the other 2 to be actual coaches I imagine.

I really don't know if I believe that.  Archie is the head coach, we live or die with him now.

It seems like assistants are there to help with day-to-day team drills and recruit.  

Chris Hawkins would be a heck of a hire for the IU bench.  I think someone in the B1G or nearby will give him a chance, and we should beat them to the punch.  People love him, and he just won a state title.  He's really well respected.

Why is it that everyone assumes that because someone is a good recruiter means they don't know anything about development or x's and o's? Just doesn't seem like that makes a whole lot of sense.

I'm all for getting as many coaches that are great recruiters as possible. Crean wasn't the best X's and O's guy out there but we saw what he could do when he had great talent on his teams. The most talented teams are usually the ones going deep in the tournament. I think we'll be fine when it comes to X's and O's. Get guys that can bring Archie great recruiting classes and we'll be in business.

We are not going to have open roster spots you can play the hypothetical game all you want

no offense but isn't your statement purely hypothetical???? Unless you know much more than I do...

I think it is very possible we have 1... I wouldn't at all be surprised if we don't but wouldn't be surprised with 1 either

I agree with you, but considering the last 9 years, this is a rhetorical question.  =)    (For what it's worth, I don't think Crean was good at either)

[WayneFleekHoosier]

So.....

 

Ostrom, Flint and one other.

 

Is this our consensus?

Catching up on todays news....on Groce to Akron--I have to say that surprised me. Being on the IU staff would have more prestige and more of a future than that....but maybe less of a paycheck. He would have been good but his loss is our gain as that leaves a spot open for an IU guy or an Indiana high school guy. I liked the discussions above and whether it is someone like Lewis or Hawkins --they both bring recruiting connections and coaching experience. I don't know much about Drew Adams (but I am a Robert Phinisee fan)....Keep the info coming!

They just posted a video of Hartman working out and Elston is in that video as well. I think he'll be back. If he was trusted enough to be kept as part of the transition team I honk he'll be back

2016-17 Men's Basketball Coaching Staff

 COACHES 

EXPAND

 

Bill Comar
Director of Basketball Operations


Bill Comar, a former assistant coach at Loyola University, was one of the first hires by coach Archie Miller to be the director of basketball operations when Miller was named coach at the University of Dayton.

Comar is returning to the Hilltop for the second time.  He worked on Oliver Purnell’s staff at UD from 1997-2001, two years as an assistant and two as director of operations.

He then was director of operations for seven years at Xavier under Thad Matta and Sean Miller, Archie’s older brother.

Comar worked one season in 2008-09 at Loyola before becoming the director of strategic development for Pro Camps Worldwide, an international event management company which assists professional athletes with the development of their personal sports camps and related events.
Prior to his first stint at Dayton, the Wilmette, Ill. native was on staff at Miami (Oh.) for four years as basketball administrative assistant and academic advisor.

In 18 years at the college level, Comar’s teams have reached the postseason 14 times.

Before attending Kenyon College, he played on the New Trier High School team that advanced to the Elite Eight in the Illinois State tournament.  He played three seasons at Kenyon and graduated magna cum laude in 1993 with a B.A. in Psychology and a minor in Sociology.  He received his M.S. in Sport Studies from Miami in 1995.

No this is right but Crean wasn't good at either and Archie isn't Crean.
