Tom Archdeacon provides a terrific behind the scenes look at Archie Miller’s road to Indiana:
John Miller watched Friday night’s NCAA Tournament game between UCLA and Kentucky with a bit of bemusement.
“I sorta had to laugh at the media yesterday on TV,” he said. “It was Alford this and that. They had Steve Alford all plugged in to where he’s going next.”
It was being speculated that Alford – the UCLA coach who was an Indiana schoolboy hero and then the high-scoring guard who led the Indiana Hoosiers to a national title in 1987 – would be the next IU coach following the firing of Tom Crean eight days earlier.
