Ryan Joseph "Archie" Miller (born October 30, 1978) is an American basketball coach who is currently head coach of the Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball team.
Miller was born and raised outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His given name is "Ryan" but was called "Archie" at an early age because his personality was similar to Archie Bunker, the grouchy TV character.
Miller grew up in a basketball family. His older brother Sean Miller was a point guard who went on to play the position at Pitt and is currently the head coach of the Arizona Wildcats men's basketball team. Archie views Sean, who is 10 years older, as more of a mentor than a rival. Sean, then an assistant, recruited Archie to North Carolina State as a point guard. Sean also hired Archie as an assistant at Arizona when he got the job in 2009. “We didn’t grow up in the house together two years apart and the backyard,” Archie said. “... I basically look at him sort of as the role model, the guy whom to be like, the guy who to call when you need something, the one that helped you get to where you wanted to get to." Archie Miller's sister, Lisa, played Division I basketball at Toledo and Elon.
Both Archie and Sean played for their father, John Miller, a high school coach at Blackhawk High School who went 657-280 in a 35-year coaching career — he retired in 2005 — including 104-29 in the postseason. He won eight Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League championships, the second most in history, and four Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association titles. Miller noted how much he learned from his father, saying, "He's really teaching you how to be a coach, and you don't even realize it. He knew what hard work was. He knew what dedication was. He knew what preparation was. He knew how to communicate. It starts to come naturally to you. It's all you do. It's all you're around, and it's all you talk about.”
Following high school, Miller played point guard for North Carolina State from 1998 to 2002. As a senior, he helped lead the Wolfpack to the finals of the ACC championship game and was named to the all-tournament team. He finished his career there with an 84.6% free-throw percentage, a 42.9 three-point field goal percentage, and 218 three-pointers, which were all marks that ranked in the top 10 in school history. He graduated from NC State in 2002.
