    To be fair, I think it can be anyone at this point.  Sadly I think a lot of people think they have to choose a side.  The "True Fans" speech kind threw a match into a gas station.   I just want my program back to being good. If somehow Woodson changes all of our addressed concerns and there's a light at the end of the tunnel, I would welcome it with open arms. Even at face of people telling me how stupid I was to question his coaching and approach to recruiting.

    It is possible that if we are decent that it would be the perfect opportunity for him to step away bragging how he rebuilt the program and is leaving it in good shape for his successor.  It would be a way for him to exit with grace.

    It’s okay to get excited for good players. I’m not rooting for Woody, I’m rooting for IU basketball. I know he will be back if we are decent next year, but I have zero control over it. Woodson isn’t landing the players. Our money is. Not that I think it happens, but I’ll take a purchased FF eight days a week. Won’t make Woody a good coach but it is what it is.

    Getting rid of mercer and getting a real coach would be a nice start, he shouldn't finish the season

    My opinion? Some media pundits know a ton of inside info.
    Seth Davis isn’t one of them. Never discount that it’s possible he has a source, but I’ve never known Seth Davis to have any credible insight.

    Nah, you don't get to claim objectivity and state that in defense of Mike Woodson.  Every one of Woodson's detractors understands the importance of guard play.  That is the reason they have been complaining about running Race and Trayce together.  Running Reneau and Ware in at the same time.  Failing to go and secure better guards to the point of leaving a scholarship open instead of landing one.
    Mike Woodson doesn't deserve any kind of credit for doing the type of things that non-NBA coaching experienced, dumbasses on message boards have been saying needs done every offseason since he got here.  "Hey overpaid, arrogant dipshit, congrats on finally doing what everybody and their grandma has been telling you to do since you got here (at least when it comes to recruiting).  It only took enough people to seriously advocate firing you for you to figure out."
    Why do we give out brownie points to a guy who HAS to fill up half his team and was kicked millions of extra dollars by billionaire buddies to go get players?  Of course he was going to get some guys.  He woke up and remembered to breath today, wanna give him an award for that too?
    Here, Good job Mike.  You have apparently met the most basic requirements of your job by getting some what appear to be good players.  Now the real test comes in.  He has assembled what I am told are gourmet ingredients.  So I expect more than a classy ingredient Big Mac next year.  That is where chefs make their hay.  Anybody with money and access can acquire ingredients, the proof is in the taste and presentation.

    Maybe for some however for others it might take more then 1 year of success with to change their stance.  Just like for some it wasn’t the 1 bad year that had them upset with Woody but just another thing that added to the frustration.  Any program can have a little success in a  year  but the goal would be to have a coach that can put a program in the best position each year to have sustained success.  South Carolina had a great year last and then lost in the first round and I’m sure their fans loved last year but the goal I’m guessing for them is to follow that up with more success.    Some will need to see more then 1 good year and for some it wont matter if he is successful multiple years they want a new voice regardless.  It takes a coach to have to eat, sleep and breathe college basketball to put a program in the best position to be a winning program.   24/7

    Stanford’s Kiki Iriafen has entered the transfer portal with a “do not contact” mark, a source tells @TheNextHoops. She averaged 19.4 ppg and 11 rpg as a junior.
    Think maybe her retiring head coach could put in a good word or 2 for IU?
