When replacing Thad Matta became a serious discussion 4 years ago, Archie Miller was my #1 choice. When IU hired him and Matta decided to "step down" a few months later, I was initially pissed we let Archie get away. Especially that it was to IU. As I dug deeper into potential replacements, Holtmann quickly became a guy I was more than happy with.

I, and many, said that we'd be judging/comparing Holtmann based on how he did as opposed to Miller in Bloomington. Right now, I'd say we very clearly got the right guy.

Add me to that group, I'll openly admit to being flat out wrong. Growing up in Dayton, I was a huge UD fan growing up and still am. Part of that largely drove my initial response to not getting Archie. I still think Archie would have been a quality coach here, but nowhere chose to CH now that I have the benefit of hindsight. I'll gladly eat crow when my team benefits like this. Have to give some credit to Gene on that decision (another guy I've been eating crow on in recent years), it was a pivotal one that puts our basketball Bucks in a position for a long ride near the top of the conference. I see a big recruiting bump coming after this season (not that it's been bad at all, just saying).
