Apparently, he learned D from brother Sean but that was the extent of the lessons.  Makes the Underwood hire look better every day.

He and Underwood having been hired the same cycle probably weighed into his firing. If Brad was still bumbling along trying to get traction rather than rampaging into the tourney as a 1 seed after dispatching murderer’s row, they’d probably be more inclined to give him more time.

bummer I was hoping he would stay, although there's always a good chance they'll hire someone worse  8)

Rick Pitino is available, small buyout, minor baggage.

Holtmann was also hired in that cycle.

Good catch. Holtmann is outstanding. Ohio St went to Indiana to get him while Indiana went to Ohio to get Archie.

Wonder where Archie will resurface. Maybe Groce can get him a gig in the MAC.

I think he's a good coach leaving a bad job, certainly better than Bruce when Bruce lateralled his custard ass to K State.

Will laugh if Minnesota hires him.

Indiana probably is a bad job the same way Nebraska has turned into a bad job.

I agree (along with Holtmann's success at OSU). It's interesting, though, because IU's other revenue program (football) appears to be on an upswing but apparently even that wasn't enough to buy Miller another season. Per the IU release, private sources are paying for unbudgeted amounts of the $10.3M buyout.

Things could get interesting if John Beilein and/or Thad Matta decide to get back into coaching college basketball.

I don't know why they would get into college hoops to take THAT job... its just not very desirable anymore... ridiculous fan expectations and a lot less local area talent these days

Who ruined IU basketball? Knight? Shrek?Sampscum? Clappy guy?

My thinking is Knight effectively sabotaged his own program.

Did you change meds?

He never finished above .500 in conference and missed the tourney all fours years.

Pitino is out too. Guess a NIT championship doesn’t buy you as many years as it used to.

He's been on the hot seat since he got the job.
