MILLER NAMED MEN’S BASKETBALL COACH AT INDIANA
Indiana men’s basketball hired Archie Miller as its new coach.
The move came less than 24 hours after UCLA coach Steve Alford said he wouldn’t take the job and nine days after Tom Crean was fired after nine seasons.
Miller spent the last six seasons as the coach at Dayton. He led the Flyers to a 139-63 record, the past two Atlantic 10 regular-season titles and NCAA Tournament appearances each of the past four seasons. Before going to Dayton, he was an assistant at Arizona, Ohio State, North Carolina State and Western Kentucky.
Indiana, a longtime Big Ten power, said it plans to introduce Miller at a news conference Monday.
