I watched a video of Archie speaking to the Indiana home crowd after the senior night loss last week - something looked and felt off about it. In my opinion, Archie and Dayton were a very good match - the undersized point guard coaching the underdog. To me, something does not fit with Archie and Indiana. Maybe time will prove me wrong, but I think he had a really good job and left for what he thought might be a better job. Let's see how he feels in a few years. I wonder what Tom Crean would say?

There are over 1000 Division 1 coaches available (HC and Asst). If hired and successful as HC, I doubt you would find 3% that would stay at UD with a chance to coach Indiana. I doubt you would find .1% that would say they were happy coaching UD but would leave for any another job at a press conference or in an interview.
