However I will chime in later. Stay safe KDB ! Diversity on the staff is extremely important and at this position a stong recruiter. Like the idea of a IU player from the past, but someone with strong midwest ties is important as well. It would be nice to start recruiting Chicago hard again. Chicago/Illinois ties has brought IU championships in the past. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobSaccamanno 2,742 Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 I'd love to know if Mike Miller is plausible. I remember reading that he was huge part of Memphis' recruiting. According to this article about his departure, he's apparently really good with X's and O's. https://dailymemphian.com/section/sports/article/14596/geoff-calkins-mike-miller-tigers 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
btownqb 4,697 Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 Miller would be fine. I would love AJ Guyton. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hoosierhoopster 5,043 Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 Some other guys out there who might become available, Jordan Mincy or Darris Nichols (Fla), Wes Miller (UNC Greensboro) Shantay Legans, U Maligi, 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IU Scott 6,227 Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 (edited) Someone that is a good offensive coach would be the first place I look. As for names it is hard to know who most of the assistant coaches except for the ones with IU ties. Edited August 11 by IU Scott Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In the next year or so he will be given a chance to be HC at a power 5 conference team. I also see him as the next coach at UNC once Williams leave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He probably won't but he's at UNC Greensboro, next gig is probably another HC position but you never know, he's still very young. Point of my post is there are a bunch of guys out there, we talk about guys like Guyton, and I hope he's considered, but there are many highly qualified, proven young assistants with well developed recruiting ties and track records out there.

tdhoosier 1,132 Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 I’ll put 4 to 1 odds on a candidate that never gets mentioned in this thread. 😎 That said I’m very intrigued about Mike Miller although I have no idea how possible that is. Whether he brings his son or not. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IU Scott 6,227 Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 Mike Miller might be a great coach but I would hate the look of it because it would look like we hired him just to get his son. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DC2345 847 Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 I'd take Mike Miller. Yes, getting his son would be a plus but he is also a guy with NBA ties, has been a candidate for a head coaching job at UNLV, and players seem to like. I also like the fact that he seems to know a thing or two about shooting the basketball which we all know is greatly needed at IU. If it's someone else great but they need to be able to coach up shooters imo. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Indykev 4,177 Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 Well Archie went through this last year so i'm guessing he still has his list. So it shouldnt take to long. Please dont post your long list of IU guys, it wont be one. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JEFFVETTE 62 Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 With the two coaching staff's being friends and familiar with each other, I would assume all of this has been in the works for a while. It could be down to talking contract details at this point. But, again I'm assuming. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
