    Scott is definitely fighting the good fight, but the headwinds have been substantial. I think he will get this right in the long run personally. He knows what needs to happen.

    Thanks for the tidbits Jerry! From my eyes, it seems like Dolson is waiting for any reason to eject Woodson. Say Auburn loses before the S16, how do those chances look. As that pinged my eyes a little bit.

    MR, MM, KW moving on/entering the portal moves the needle probably. Combined with an early exit by Auburn it gets more interesting.

    100%. They care more about massaging Mike Woodson’s enormous ego than they do winning basketball games.

    Put a team together that looks like it has a reasonable chance to compete next year. If we straight up strike out in the portal, with the resources we have, I think it will be seen as an indictment on Woody and players wanting to play for him and in his system.

    First thing's first, congrats to the IU women on the 4-seed and hosting opportunity. Tough draw, but they call it madness for a reason. Secondly, love you guys and this community, but goodness you're not shy about using the private message feature. Sorry for ghosting many of you but easier to just post publicly.
    And, now that I've effectively buried the lead, Woodson is back next year with a couple caveats and interesting details:
    - Meeting Tuesday happened as scheduled and talk was future of the basketball program and specifically how Woody fits in that plan
    - Though Dolson and BoT disagree about it happening now, consensus was that this isn't the bridge hire they'd hoped for and this is his last year barring some miracle B1G championship or FF run next year that would make for bad optics.
    - Woodson was given the opportunity to retire and go out amicably but said no and that he thinks he can use the portal to put us in a better position to transition to another coach after next year.
    - Dolson laid out expectations for portal results and win/loss results next season that would result in letting Woody go; just my opinion but it sounds like Buckner, boosters, etc. got him the 4th year but Scotty Dolson has his finger on the eject button and Woodson knows it. Fully expect him to announce a "planned retirement" next year so he can go out on his "own terms"
    - For what it's worth, Dolson did put out feelers and got positive feedback on interest from 2 of his top 3 potential replacement candidates; think we can get May with a text message, Pearl has serious interest but wouldn't make a move if his team makes a FF run or wins a natty. 
    - I think we as a fanbase/board are higher on Dusty than the administration/BoT; sounds like they're only interested in a homerun hire, win now guy if they do move and risking a third straight miss isn't something they're willing to do and just because he has IU ties and made a good tourney run, feeling is May isn't a guarantee at this level.
    That's what I've got that I'm able to share comfortably right now. Not what myself or anybody on this board probably wants to hear. Moral is one more year is 95% likely (everyone root for UCONN in the S16, and a miracle!) It's kind of messy internally and they're trying to move on to get IU back to a top tier program while letting Woodson ride into the sunset having left the program in a good place and "stepping aside" for the good of the program. ??

    Unconfirmed rumor

    Mike Woodson turned down a bid by the selection committee to play in the NCAA tourney. He believes IU will be playing in the NBA playoffs in a few months.

    Ohio State hiring Diebler is an Ohio State short sited issue.  After Tony Bennett retired early into the season at Wisky, Brad Soddeberg took over and took Wisky to the tournament.  But Wisky didn’t retain him as their head coach.

    Back at you:
    Over 40% from three on some volume. Shooting stroke translates to a higher ft percentage.
    Strong upper body—rebounds his position. Plays with forward lean—finishes at rim through contact. Outside stroke is quick and with good technique.
    Started every game as a freshman, so his low-major staff saw something from the get go.

    Devils advocate.

    We just aren’t a serious program unless this kid is spot 12-13. 67% FT on large sample from guard spot. 3 point numbers seem good enough but FT numbers are best indicator of streakiness. Plays on an awful team at low competition level. Defensive numbers don’t indicate impact.

    I’m always a tough critic, but this isn’t a top 10 player on a good B1G team.

    I don’t think our staff knows what they are doing besides knowing they need a lot of guys.

    When Holtmann was fired, word came out that coach Rosemond trained Thornton and had a great relationship with him.  Since we need a point guard, the belief was we would get Thornton this off-season.

    I'm assuming the reports of OSU hiring Diebler are correct, and he has been chosen to succeed Holtmann.
    Idk. To each their own. To me it doesn't seem wise to hire a guy who did fairly well with his boss's players in a short amount of time.
    Let's say Woodson gets fired next January with a 14-9 record. Then Kenya Hunter takes over and goes 6-2, and still misses the tournament. 
    If IU chose Hunter to succeed Woodson I would be.....disappointed.

    Sure. This seems like a really good fit. This one could have some serious legs.
    Here’s the highlight video—even though it’s highlights, it’s still pretty impressive—seems like a P5 body. Reminds me a little of a lefty Chucky Hepburn:
