Alright well I’m never gonna win this argument, so I think it’s tyme that I check out. 

You told the poster who posted it to grow up lol. Your very first post on the subject. That’s “simply inquiring”?

I mean, you started this all by whining about a poster posting “L.O.L.” with a tweet of Woodson golfing. 

 
If we can’t have a laugh about that when we’re stuck with a crappy coach while Purdue is playing for a NC, what can we laugh at? 

Because a large percentage of posters want him fired and this thread helps prevent those posts from spilling into other threads. Why does it bother you so much? I don’t go into threads I don’t want to read to pick fights with people for posting in those threads. 

My friend you are in the Fire Mike Woodson thread getting bent out of shape over posts dumping on Mike Woodson. A better question would be why are you here? 

The only difference between this week and Mike Woodson’s other 51 weeks is the other coaches are taking this one off too. 

What are players with big roles on national title contenders/conference championship winners looking for if not a check? Like let’s be for real here for a minute. Arizona to IU is a step down in basically every way for a basketball player in 2024. If it’s not money, what’s the motivating factor?

NGW can you show this to Woodson plz?

I heard Woodrow misread GCHS and thought all the cars were parked in GCC parking lot( Greenfield Country Club). When a cart attendant never came to his car for his clubs, he walked into the gym and asked "one of the the tall lanky kids" to stop goofing around and to load his bag and direct him to the clubhouse bar.

Someone calls out some of your BS stats and you shift. 
He shot 46.6% from the field last year, not 44%. In fact, he's only shot worse than 46% from the field one year, his freshman year. 
He actually shot worse than that from the line last year at 53.3%. 
You're right that he did shoot 9 shots per game, unfortunately 3 of those were 3 pointers which he did not hit.
What changed between last year and the year before? TJD and his excellent passing out of the post went pro. That plus just trying to shoot more shots lead to his 3-point percentage dropping a ton. I have no problem with him shooting less 3s but that doesn't make him bad at finishing at the rim, like you tried to claim.

Purdue had that the past two seasons and still managed to take 20+ threes a game. Maybe it is rocket science? 

What are you talking about? Neither Cupps nor Mgbako were even on the team in 2022, and Anthony Leal played 24 minutes all season. If you as a team shoot 38% from 3 then you have enough shooting ability on your team to take more 3s. There was no reason why Miller Kopp shouldn’t have been taking 6-7 3s a game in 2022. 
We have three years of evidence of Mike Woodson not emphasizing the 3 ball but we’re supposed to believe he’s suddenly going to change and IU will be firing away because ‘just trust me bro.’ Like cmon. 

It’s 100% the system. IU took 15.5 threes a game in 2022 and only 14.0 threes a game in conference play despite having four rotation players shoot 37% or higher from 3. In fact, IU was actually third in the Big 10 at 38% from 3. But, as Woodson said, it’s not his job to get players 3 point shots. Are we really supposed to believe Woodson is going to completely overhaul his offensive system? Even when his team had 3pt ability his team was dead last in the Big 10 in attempts. 

You dont go spend a million dollars on a center to run your fourth straight two big season if you’re going to drastically change your offense. Ware had a usage percentage of 22.9% last year. Ballo had a usage percentage of 21% last year and 22.9% the year before. Ware took 13.3 shots per 40 minutes last year to Ballo’s 12.0. 
So, sure, slightly less usage, but not *increase your 3 point attempts by 50%* less usage. IU was dead last in 3 point attempts in the Big 10 last year. The 13th place school shot 2.4 more a game than us. We’re not going to suddenly become a top 3 team in the conference in shooting 3s. 

I mean, isn’t not prioritizing shooters in terms of who he brings in not also a sign that he doesn’t emphasize the 3?

This is a huge reason why I don’t like him and why no amount of success will make me change my position re wanting him fired. He needs his billionaire buddies to write checks to bail him out because he won’t do any recruiting himself. It’s like he just wants to sit back, drink wine, play golf, and show up to coach on game day 30ish times a year. All that other responsibilities that comes with the job? Nahhh. 

I can't fathom why you keep conflating an argument based on three years data down to just the most recent season. 
I'm also perplexed at why you argued two months ago that Woodson's offense was antiquated, but then said last night it wasn't a problem. But then earlier today you argued Woodson clearly intends to change the offense given the roster additions. I'm seriously confused at this point...

Again, you’re ignoring that Purdue had all that and then some with Zach Edey but still managed to shoot 5 more threes a game than IU. 
But that’s the difference between a real modern basketball coach and Mike Woodson. 

Or just basic science. It’s not our coaches job to get guys shots, the best coach in the business said so.
