Clearly some posters have woken up from a 3 year coma. I'm glad you're awake, I wish you didn't have to be subjected to whatever Woodson calls coaching.

Maybe easier than admitting that Woodson is a lousy coach that either can't, or won't, change. Which would also mean the one place stupid enough to give him another shot at HC was too stupid to move on.

Or have new players to integrate.

Some people actually think Mike Woodson, who said the 3 is not a point of emphasis, will make the 3 an emphasis. Good luck with that.

Special circumstance being the Mike Woodson Disaster Relief Fund.

At this point would anyone really be surprised if IU hired a fictional character to be coach? I mean it doesn't get much lower than "screw it, you played here 40 years ago so you're hired".

If Stevens wasn't a 100% certainty, I'd say no it wouldn't. Without that certainty it's just "maybe we can land the white whale this time if we stick with the crappy coach another year". Sorry, you don't stick with a lousy coach like Woodson in favor of Stevens unless Stevens is a guarantee.

Goodman said he heard from multiple coaches the asking price for Ballo was 1.2m.

I read touchdowns and safeties are scored as normal, then 4 points for turnovers and 3 points for defensive stops.

I think McMahon was a walk on.

And for billionaires 2m isn't a drop in the bucket. Yep. He was always going to get players, no one said he wouldn't, especially with 6m to spend. He's still the same Mike Woodson that has admitted the 3 isn't a point of emphasis. The same Mike Woodson that got fired from the Knicks after his teams had the same problems we're seeing here, then never got another HC gig. And if Chris is right that Woodson is already tired of this portal season it just shows he wants the NIL money to be a substitute for actually doing part of the job he was hired for.

I don't have a problem with them spending money. I have a problem that they're doing it so much now just to avoid having to admit it was a mistake to hire a guy no one else would've answered the phone for.

Yep. Like I've said, imagine a good coach having this support instead of just trying to buy a team that not even Woodson can screw up. I wanted Crean gone and the last two hires make him look good.

Just take down the others, since actually winning something doesn't matter to IU.

I thought Kentucky's mating call started with 'hey cuz'.

I figured there was another procedure on it.

It was misdiagnosed originally, he had a microfracture IIRC. He's had a few procedures on it. The procedure this year was reported as a knee scope but that wouldn't have kept him out all year.

Those are so comfortable. Start a new cbb trend.

On the bolded, you hear people say that but it's not always true. Oladipo's biggest jump was between sophomore and junior year.

I think it was always going to be that way once they were stupid enough to bring him back. If he so much as made the tournament, even just barely, they'd look for an excuse to bearing him back. IU has shown they're too concerned with optics and they would not want the black eye of firing a program legend.

I didn't expect Woodson to do well because he's a lousy coach and no one wanted him after the Knicks fired him. I also didn't expect him to have the mindset that he doesn't have to do certain parts of the job; I figured he'd atleast give it everything he had because of his connection to the program.

Patrick went to Butler, not Connor.

16th out of 18, looks like a raise is in order.

I didn't see anything about a commitment when I checked, but she could help. She averaged 19 points and 11 boards as a junior.
