Bob Knight endorsed Archie as well.  What’s your point 

My point is what do you expect the Indiana writer to say? Archie was a great hire. Woody was a great hire. Crean was a great hire. Linking rabjohns kissing @$$ moves that needle none.

I’m very excited for this hire. I think he has a chance to be really good. He lives, breaths and sleeps basketball. Plays an exciting style and will be able to recruit elite players. He seems like a dude. I think he’ll be known as D square to me. Go Hoosiers.

How much more do you like this hire compared to Ben McCollum. I know you previously said he is not a dude lol

[JustWinBaby]

Not gonna lie, this fooled me till I checked the handle lmao.

If we’re going off kenpom he’s shown the ability to coach championship level defense his first year at WVU. Top 15 defense is very impressive to me. He had two top 40 offenses at Drake his last 3 years. The shot profile looks really nice with a high percentage of 3s. Obviously you can’t pick and choose but the fact he’s shown that ability on both offense and defense makes me optimistic. If West Virginia hadn’t lost Tucker Devries and they were ranked in the 20s this year would that change anyone’s opinion? It’s really hard to win after losing your best player lol

Tom Ostrom?

[Stuhoo]

First reaction to this WVU practice video? Why are they only shooting threes and at the rim?

Writer didn’t say it the source did.

I just wanna know what all the Chris Beard haters are saying now…

I hope this works out but good lord

Archie miller had a more impressive resume when he was hired

I think he’s had more than 2 good seasons and he doesn’t get drunk and beat women so I’m good man.  How bout you?

Sisley is on board 

If the kid going to UConn backs out and signs with IU we’ll have something.

I heard he won't be coming.

Edit: I actually don't know.

We all thought Jeff Goodman was a d-bag and full of it, but hey he got it right this time. 

Time to get behind the new coach and cheer for him and his team like crazy. That's what fanatics are.

I grew up in Indiana.  I went to sectionals and regionals with my dad every year from the time I was about 5 years old till I was in high school. He was a high school coach, then AD (in fact, his school's very first AD).

Love Indiana basketball and IU basketball. My mom went to IU and though I was just a young lad, I remember her crying tears of joy when the 1976 team finished its unbeaten season by beating Michigan.

Got my degree from IU in 1991. I'll love IU basketball (and all IU sports) till they put me in the grave. I don't understand these people who say "I'm out" or "I'm done" just because we hired a coach and they don't agree with it. 

If you wanna be out or done -- see ya. Hit the bricks. 

Coach DeVries wasn't necessarily my first choice, but I'm all on board. Can't wait till next season. 

GO HOOSIERS!

A lot. I’m really excited. With our resources he should be elite.

Lots of people didn't think Woody was a great hire. LOL

He had ZERO college coaching experience. Come on now...

That’s a quick way to win over a fan base. Rabby said at very minimum he will be reaching out.

Drok or D-squared?

Based on this board's track record in the last 48 hours that means he is coming lol
