On Wednesday, ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported that Rhode Island, just days after firing head coach David Cox, is now targeting former Indiana head coach Archie Miller for its coaching position.
Miller, a native of Beaver Falls and a graduate of Blackhawk High School, coached at Indiana from 2017-21, but was fired in March. Prior to his time leading the Hoosiers, he served as the head coach of Dayton from 2011-17, leading the Flyers to four-straight NCAA tournaments.
Miller is a member of the Beaver County Sports Hall of Fame, as he started out playing for his father at Blackhawk and winning a WPIAL title as well as two PIAA state titles in his playing career.
