Archie Miller is the new head coach at Indiana.
Miller, 38, finalized a seven-year deal worth approximately $4 million annually, per Yahoo! Sports.
Miller went 139-63 in six years at Dayton with four straight NCAA Tournament appearances. He is the younger brother of Arizona coach Sean Miller.
In hiring Miller, athletic director Fred Glass went outside the Indiana family and the Bob Knight tree in order to hire a qualified young coach.
“While there was great interest in this position, Archie Miller was on my short list from the very beginning,” Glass said. “The more I learned about him, the more convinced I became that he is the coach we need to meet our high expectations for many years to come. First, he has the commitments to compliance, wellness, and academics that we require at Indiana. A coach’s son with the headiness and toughness to flourish as a 5’9 major college point guard, Archie is a proven leader, proven winner, proven recruiter, and a proven player developer with a defense-first mentality that will help us win championships. Perhaps most importantly, he understands and embraces the special stature of Indiana University basketball and the critical relationship it must have with its former players, Indiana high school players and programs, and the entire State of Indiana.”
Georgetown on Thursday parted ways with Coach John Thompson III after 13 years.
The news was first reported by CasualHoya.com and ESPN, and the school later released a statement.
“It is with profound regret and deep appreciation that I informed John Thompson III this morning that the University will no longer be retaining his services as our Head Men’s Basketball Coach,” President John J. DeGioia said in a statement.
“For thirteen years, he has been one of the elite coaches in college basketball. His performance as a coach has been exceptional, and he has served our community with remarkable distinction and integrity, sustaining our commitment to the academic performance of our students and providing them with the very best preparation for their lives beyond the Hilltop.”
