The clip against Richmond was one of the greatest plays I've seen in person.

Re: Head coach speculation for 2022-23
Very complicated legacy. What's not complicated for me is that "Don't do it to 'im like that, Fatts!" will go down as one of all time tournament favorite moments... For that line and also because I had the fortune to be there and see it live.

Re: Head coach speculation for 2022-23
Archie Miller would qualify as aiming high in my opinion. My fear is that he will be the target of several schools.

Everyone’s. You’d have to search long and far to find someone who wouldn’t be excited about it. Even the Pitino Truthers seems to be embracing it as potential hone run.

Re: Head coach speculation for 2022-23
It’s hard to believe anything you hear in these situations bc so much goes down in private and via intermediaries. But the 1 thing I heard consistently from multiple sources is we were aiming high and not targeting a young buck. Iggy heard the opposite just how these things go. Until it’s official and over it’s never over.

I no longer have any legitimate sources but I did hear they were at least trying to aim high. Thanks to blueman , first of all, and also Rambone, ECR, Brady and others for keeping their head high and aiming high.. I have since 1980s and got rid of killed by some for trying to shoot for the stars. All you guys are great let's make it happen

Re: Head coach speculation for 2022-23
URI would really have to promise Archie serious financial commitments beyond just a high compensation package for him. Start with higher assistant salary pool, more charter flights, quicker movement on dedicated practice facility, bigger recruiting budget, etc....
Miller's buyout from Indiana last year was some $10.35M. He is pretty much personally set money wise. Financial commitments to the program might be more important to him than other candidates.

24-7 Sports reporting that Archie is a serious contender for the URI job.
The Spun, Sports Illustrated, said Archie is on the verge of signing a new head coaching contract.

Re: Head coach speculation for 2022-23
If our boosters who have pushed for Pitino ( not Petino cmon now) slide their dollars over to helping the university hire Miller it can happen. URI IMHO is a true sleeping giant capable of replicating what was done here in the 40’s. If Thorr, Parlange and our wealthy boosters believe a big investment in Miller can get it done - let’s go.

Re: Head coach speculation for 2022-23
Obviously the boosters are making this possible.
Without them none of this could happen.
This is what it takes to make URI a top A10 program for years to come.
I agree that improvements to the program are probably more important to Archie than just his salary.

Re: Head coach speculation for 2022-23
I like Archie Miller as a coach. Hope he comes to URI. But for all the folks out there who complained about URI not being able to shoot straight (from deep or the FT line) for the last few years and it was David Cox's fault for recruiting those guys and not focusing on shooting, please keep the following in mind regarding Archie at IU:

Re: Head coach speculation for 2022-23
You might be right, you might be wrong (or more specifically your source is right or wrong). We get a ton of folks that randomly come on here and there with crazy stuff that are obvious trolls, So you coming on here to discount respected journalists with your source saying it isn't in the works may lead some, including me, to be skeptical. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and take you at your word that you are a Rhody fan - that said, post more regardless of Miller is the next coach or not.
Having said that - if it's Miller would you be happy with that? Does your source have another name you can name or not and would this base be happy with that hire?

If Archie does become head coach, you probably shouldn’t keep these sources anymore.

I think we would all be crazy if we don’t think getting Miller would be a great get. This was probably the least likable group of basketball players we’ve put on the court in my time as a fan and supporter. It was unbearable!!! So yes I would be extremely happy. I don’t need to be right I was just sharing what I had heard.

I know I’m a first time poster. Long time reader. I figure I would shed some light on who in play currently. I’m sure someone could enter the sweepstakes but this is the current list. I have been season ticket holder for 25 years. Just trying to help in the speculation

Until there's a press conference, seems anything is possible. Like...maybe we "end up with" Pitino because we couldn't make it work with any of the other sploshers.

The'yre also really small. Wright State has bigger better athletes than what Bryant sees in the northeast conference. They all up in their grill.

Re: Head coach speculation for 2022-23
Come on guys there is no way Thorr leaks that. That has to come from the Miller camp. Only way that comes from the Thorr camp is if it’s a done deal. URI would never let that out prematurely. And if it’s a done deal we’re all happy.

Re: Head coach speculation for 2022-23
After reading that, I'm convinced writers absolutely lurk on message boards. The paragraph talking about URI stepping up its support for the entire program read like Thamel literally hit copy/paste from Blue Man's initial post when he started the conspiracy thread. Thamel should throw in a hat tip to BM at the end of his article for the material.

Re: Head coach speculation for 2022-23
Or they do their job and research??? Talk to anyone and they will tell you the same thing. Was speaking to someone yesterday who had coached at URI and they mentioned how the job certainly has its perks (Great people, great location, administration etc etc) but it is missing the "bells and whistles" that other programs have. Literally the same thing we've been hearing for year from anyone close to the program. So for someone like Thamel, it probably just took one phone call to find out that information.RhodyKyle wrote: ↑2 years agoAfter reading that, I'm convinced writers absolutely lurk on message boards.
