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

I trust Archie completely, but idk if I like the Cromer hiring if it happens. DOB isn't a HUGE spot, but it is used for younger guys or ones with connections a lot to help draw in talent. I didn't necessarily want an Indiana guy for the spot, but it would have been nice to get someone with some high school powers connections. Dayton wasn't killing it on the recruiting trail. Changing your shirt only does so much when it comes to assistants. Need to be proven. We will see how it works out though.

I put my trust in the fact that Archie knows what he's doing.

I think he does. The best guy for the job isn't always the one with the most impressive resume. He seems to be filling his staff with quality coaches that he has prior relationships with. I think his staff will work well together.

Comar is Archie's right hand man. Comar might be the only person more detailed then Archie. Comar has always done all of the scheduling along with Archie, and their already working on IU's. He is very good at what he does.

 

^^^THIS^^^ 

Don't want to recognize this? Then you should not be a fan of the Archie hire, because Comar is what it's all about for CAM.

I will give Archie some leash here---he is coming into a situation from the outside and I would expect him to want to have a couple guys on the staff that he knows are good, proven and loyal. Let him bring a couple of buddies from Dayton---who have helped him win in the past. I have no problem with it as long as we get at least one IU or Indiana high school guy on the staff too. Sorry-- but I do expect that and will be disappointed if it does not occur....Go Archie!

Elston is already on staff and I'm starting to doubt we get another IU guy unless Archie has offered a pay raise and an associate head coach title to either Lewis or Fife and they are trying to decide whether or not to accept the offer. Truthfully I think Archie wanted Groce and now he is trying to find the best fit possible in his opinion to fill out the staff.

Ed Schiling will be the last assistant coach coming over from UCLA. What a staff with Olstrom, Flint, and Schilling with Elston & Comar. Good things in our future. I have no sources just things I'm hearing

Why would Schilling leave Alford's staff, and why would IU want him?

He's been wanting to get back to the midwest for a while. He knows Indiana well with being the coach at both Park Tudor & Western Boone. Knows the Millers well. Also coached at UMASS with Bruiser Flint so he knows him. Was also an assistant with New Jersey Nets.

Wow - didn't realize he knew the Millers or worked with Flint. Sounds very plausible.

Apparently worked with Calipari too after doing some Google research.

I believe he & Sean are very close. Was in Sean's wedding or something like that.
