The person rooting the hardest for Miller to succeed is Fred Glass, the IU athletic director. Glass has been the athletic director for the past 10 years. He is not well liked by the fan base. The fans are restless over the lack of success of both the football program and the basketball program under Glass. Multi-millions have been poured into the football program to make it competitive in the B10, the results of which are multiple coaching changes and few conference wins under Glass. Basketball has fared little better in the eyes of the fans. If Miller is not "deep tourney run" successful in the next two years, Glass will not survive. If the big money boosters force a Glass firing, Miller will be gone as well. Both of their futures at IU are riding on two seasons, if not one season, of basketball.
