WHAT THEY ARE SAYING
"
Archie Miller is a great hire for Dayton. He is smart, organized, and has a great work ethic, and he understands the game and those that play it. Archie also knows how to win. He has played and coached at some outstanding programs, and I have no doubt he'll win the right way at UD.
Archie Miller gets it."

Jay Bilas, ESPN Basketball Analyst
"A job as good as Dayton's was bound to attract one of the best young coaches in the business, and that's certainly how it turned out with the decision to hire Archie. He is bright, studious and charismatic. He has prepared as well for this opportunity as any coach I can imagine and I'm sure he'll do a spectacular job."

Mike DeCourcy, Sporting News College Basketball Columnist
"Phenomenal hire. I praised the decision of Jim Livengood to hire his brother, Sean, two years ago at Arizona - and I think this could be an even better hire at the end of the day.
Archie Miller is just one of those guys that gets it - He can recruit, relate to the players and I think he'll be able to get Dayton back to where they are competing for a league title each and every year."

Jeff Goodman, FoxSports.com Senior Basketball Analyst
"I know this, if I had to be in a foxhole I'd want Archie miller in there with me. He's a passionate competitor who loves to win. His peers regard him as one of the most connected and creative recruiters in the country. It won't take Dayton long to figure out it made one of season's top hires."
