Of course, Dan has opinions about Indiana hiring Darian DeVries as its latest basketball coach. He likes the hire and says just get in there and get to it. "It's not about former player, or candy stripes. It's about leadership and winning."

I always want the IU coach to be a student of the game. That DeVries has learned from Altman and McDermott is a sign of that. I guess Knight made me look at that factor. He always sought out mentors as he climbed the ranks.
Idk if DeVries studies different ways to play the game (are there any these days?). I always liked how Knight would bring in Classic opponents who played differently than we were used to seeing. He would actually, on his weekly show, talk about how the fans would enjoy watching the way Pete Carril’s Princeton team plays.
Anyway, I think this new Coach will be fine. He has a coaching pedigree, respects the game, and has had good success.

Nah....He's Archie Miller 2.0. The eyebrows are a dead giveaway.
