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

This is simply awesome. IU is about to be elite once again. The only thing missing was a coach and IU sure as hell has that now. All hail Archie Miller!

Alford is screwed. Lol UCLA fans are going to be so salty

And stuck with the Ball family.  If I had to deal with that family I'd want out of there ASAP.

I like the Schilling hire, at least he has ties to the state.  Ostrom, I know nothing about.  Flint, I have clue why anyone is excited over that other than he was a bad head coach for a long time; that's not a 'top staff' type hire to me.

What? There is virtually zero buzz around IU and their assistant picks. Not saying they won't be great but I don't get the sense from any of my U.K. or Duke friends that they are aware for one of who we are adding and two that they are nervous.

This is 100% wait and see/they will need to prove they can get it done

Who cares what UK and Duke fans say? Honestly, U of L is UK's biggest rival right now so their fans arent as focused on us and Duke will always care about UNC and have no clue why they would have interest in what were doing.

Ed Schilling is known on the recruiting trail and that is all that matters to me. He has 2 5 stars this year along w Riley who is top 50, he helped get 3 potential 1st round picks last year and a lot more. He coached Yogi Ferrell who you should know as well as Trevon Bluiett. Him alone honestly is better than whole staffs Crean had put together. Kenny Johnson was the only assistant and maybe McClain that was known here.

If Clif Marshall comes here full time he gives us the best S/C coach in the country.

Tom Ostrom and Bill Cromer are Archie's guys who he trust, which is vital for any staff.

Bruiser Flint knows the game and is a tough guy from Philly.

We have a truly amazing staff and I truly wouldn't pay attention to any staffs UK or Duke put together today and it surely wouldn't be something I immediately reacted to either.

A poster on here and Marshall and Archie started following each other I believe.

Rabjohns mentioned it in an article on the pay board. Marshall also follows Indiana basketball on twitter

How did the Marshall rumor start? I haven't heard anything on him coming to IU?

IMO the Flint hire is primarily to keep us with a recruiting contact to the east coast AAU circuit.

I live in NC and the vast majority of the UNC and Duke fans don't even know who THEIR asst coaches are.

I would guess that official coaching confirmations aren't coming until tomorrow.

Hopefully hes low key and chills at the end of the bench with GT Garl and isn't taking up half the bench with his histrionics.

[Hoosierfan2017 20,931]

Sorry Coach Allen, but we're a basketball school again.

[Dhop 380]

All sounds good to me! Been a while since I was excited.

[Capt. Crimson 3,415]

Accidentally posted first in the player retention thread but meant to post it here so sorry for the double post but...

Can anyone comment on how someone like Schilling would affect our chances with Romeo?

Flint is the one that I know the least about, but from what others on here have said he was a good hire. I really don't see a weak link on our staff.

Anyone know if Elston is for sure staying?

 

Hopefully Flint and all the coaches have some good connections outside of Indiana when needed.
