Dayton's Archie Miller has been hired as the next Indiana head coach.

Dayton head coach Archie Miller is nearing a deal to become the next Indiana basketball head coach, the university announced.

The hiring was first reported by to Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical.

Miller is 139–63 in his six seasons as the head coach of the Flyers. He finished this season with a 24–8 record.

Miller helped the Flyers reach the Elite 8 in 2014. He has also won two Atlantic 10 regular-season championships and was named the 2017 Atlantic 10 coach of the year.
