Who wanted sean miller?
Anyone who wants to win.
Texas will win multiple championships with this hire. Indiana missed another one. Dws
I had a hard time watching IU when Sampson was there. I think hiring Archie's brother would have freed up a lot of time for me.
By that standard, Texas is a better job than UNC and Duke. By the way, IU also just hired an established P5 coach.
I wonder if McCasland was a candidate for the UT job.
There was zero chance that Sean Miller was going to be IU's coach. And I can't recall a single discussion talking about him. For pretty obvious reasons.
I hope he does. A good guy just a mediocre coach.
"It's Xavier! It's Xavier!"
With NIL, Crean might do pretty well; WVU should give him a look too.
Since being fired by IU, Tom Crean has consistently spoken highly of the program in interviews. I always assumed he was just taking the high road and didn’t truly mean it...until last week. In a home interview with Kay Adams, a scoreboard from an IU vs. Butler game was visible behind him. Most coaches wouldn’t keep reminders of places that had let them go, but Crean clearly does. I couldn’t stand him when he coached here, but as Mike Davis once said about Josh Smith after he declared for the NBA Draft, “He will always be part of the IU Basketball family.”
I thought he would have been their main target. They did the same thing before with Beard and Tech.
that is a good question. As well as did BM turn IU down or did IU turn him down for DD? Going to get answers, at least on who made the better hire soon. '
Thank goodness Whitten is a universal judge of character. Bow down ye lesser people and weep at your corruption.
He was unhireable in the same way Beard was only not as good a coach.
I think Texas and Sean Miller had a handshake agreement over two years ago. They wanted to hire him after they fired Beard but Terry took Beard's team to the E8 as an interim and they removed the tag. The media was all over this well before it was announced.
Old Sean ain’t been so good since everyone could pay players
