    Archie Miller was hired Sunday to lead the Dayton basketball program, less than a week after Brian Gregory left to take over at Georgia Tech.

    The 32-year-old Miller has been associate head coach the last two seasons for older brother Sean Miller at Arizona. He started as an assistant under Herb Sendek, spending three years at North Carolina Statek and two at Arizona State. He also was one of Thad Matta's assistants at Ohio State for two years before joining his brother's staff.

    Miller was on campus Sunday to meet the team and be introduced at the University of Dayton Arena, where the NCAA tournament's First Four was held.

    "I don't take lightly for one second the opportunity or responsibility in front of me," Miller said. "Our program is one of the rare programs that stacks up with any in terms of the total package of athletics, academics and community support."

    Miller takes over a program in transition, coming off two disappointing seasons.
