Clearly Archie Miller was the wrong guy to coach Indiana at that time.  But I do believe that he was hampered by the IU administration in a lot he could do.

  First, IU made it clear that the PG he had recruited for Dayton could not be given a scholarship at IU. 

Second, he must recruit inside of Indiana, so he did.  Does anyone think that recruiting outside of the state suffered?  Maybe this was because the IU Administration wanted more control over recruiting.  Remember Crean would extend an offer to any potential recruit that made eye contact.

Third, he could not remove players that caused problems because of the NCAA grade issue that he inherited.  Remember the locker room stuff? And the players that stopped moving on court? And the other issues about well, never mind.

Fourth, take a second and reflect on the difference in support that Woody has.  Matta as IU Assistant AD for Administration. Recruiting expertise both inside and outside of the state...check the assistants.  Woody can use the transfer portal because it didn't exist for Archie.    And Woody's ability to let a player go may be more flexible now...we just have not had time to gain that perspective.

Fifth, the cupboard was not in as bad a shape when Woody came in as it was for Archie.  Archie never really got the right players for his scheme.  At Dayton they were smart, shared the ball, did what was necessary to get the loose ball, they knew how to win.  At IU it was the opposite.  Why?  Well, could it be because of the culture, the players, the IU administration, and the coach couldn't break through all of that?

I'm really glad that Archie Miller is gone from IU.  I wish him the best.  I do believe that he got the short end of the draw from IU.

I'm really glad that the administration is seeming to support coach Woody.  Good for them.

Maybe there is some light at the end of the tunnel for the IU basketball future.  BDT     (aBout Darn Time)

Then again….Archie went 12-15 with as much talent as Woodson went to the tourney with.

Usps is AD.

Demo is recruiting director.

Josh is head coach, in a crazy but effective Bruce Pearl style.

Old Fart is emeritus bench coach ala Phil Martelli.

Hova is hype man.

Good for Bacot, and a really nice video. If I were Coach Davis or a UNC fan? That video would cement him as an all-timer.

Also, he's TJD's buddy. Hopefully Trayce is inspired by Bacot's example.

This post is about Ohio State women's basketball and its problems with the NCAA.  Problems that also extended into its fencing and women's golf programs.

Yep.  I was talking with somebody today and they pointed out that if TJD comes back next year and once again doesn’t have a perimeter shot. Why wouldn’t some donor want to make it worth his while to stick around a 5th year. Probably not realistic but imagine if we got Evans

JHS, Bates, Evans, Reneau, TJD 

^ Once again not realistic. Not a prediction. But damn that would be sweet

Yea I don't see why in the world he would leave. 1. He's not on the NBAs radar. 2. NBA really doesn't like slow big dudes who aren't shot blocking machines or that can't take over offensively (which correlates with 1). 3. He's got the footwork of a newborn deer(which correlates with 1 and 2).

Cody Zeller and Victor both did it I believe. Or at least announced their press conference to do so.
