Kingston just got a bit more steamy…
A lot of that stuff was promised to DH if I recall correctly, but they couldn't line up funding.URI will pay new basketball coach Archie Miller $8.5M over five years
URI also pledges to add more charter flights for road games and set a firmer timeline for a new basketball-specific practice facilitywww.providencejournal.com
More compensation & support details for new Rhode Island MBB HC Miller from the Providence Journal: "An $8.5-million deal — $1.4 million the first two seasons through 2023-24, $1.9 million in each of the last three through 2026-27. [...] Miller’s contract includes a salary pool of $765,000 for his support staff — three assistant coaches, three full-time staff members and two unpaid graduate assistants. His buyout starts at $1 million through April 2023 and declines by $200,000 annually over the life of the deal. The Rams have pledged to add more charter flights for road games and set a firmer timeline for the construction of a basketball-specific practice facility."
Don’t sweat itAnybody but Sean Miller - anybody
Interesting that they have to split $765k six ways for the assistants. That’s some tough math.URI will pay new basketball coach Archie Miller $8.5M over five years

Just noticed the above. Oh God yes, just what Rhode Island needs because it's doing so well. Charter flights for it's STATE basketball team. Ridiculous.What a racket. Guy has never won anything, .564 winning percentage, gets fired because Indiana sucked, they still pay him $10mil to leave, he's playing around on the internet and RI rolls out the red carpet with another $9mil? Seriously.

You're right. Was looking at his Indiana record. Counterpoint is a final four a decade ago doesn't make an elite coach. I'm no DH fan either for the same reasons and his overpaid brother make a pair.Miller's career record is 206-121 for a .630 winning percentage. He had a lot of success prior to Indiana at URI's fellow A-10 member Dayton. Archie actually has a better career winning percentage and more NCAA tournament wins than Dan Hurley (incl time here at UConn) who is being paid considerably more.
