Again... specifics. It's easy to say he should have changed the culture, but how? Who should he have gotten rid of, and who was available to replace them? Without specifics, your post is as meaningless as saying "IU should have had better players in Miller's first year." If you had been hired, HOW would you have changed the culture. Specifics.Look at the roster that year, who was coming on, and who could realistically play at the Big 10 level. Miller had a mulligan to begin, in earnest, to remake the roster. He didn’t, and IU’s progress been delayed (at best) as a result. As much as people talk scheme, the key on any transition is culture, and it stunk at the end of Crean’s tenure. Some of that could be changed, but much of it was ingrained in returning players, and the results have shown it. Slow starts, long lapses of fundamental play, a general lack of toughness and resolve. Miller waited too long to address this.
Again, I'm not trying to bait you. I just want to know how you would have tried to accomplish your goal.
