    You can’t say that. You have to expect a complete reversal of everything you are seeing. That’s the only logical conclusion

    Not the only former player calling this out I am sure

    Are we allowed to be concerned yet? Asking for a friend

    We are a fringe tourney team in year 3 and we are hoping to figure out something resembling a guard rotation for next year but sure everything is just peachy

    IU Basketball News and Notes

    I never said we would be better. In fact the same people now pumping sunshine were criticizing people who were concerned we were going to take a step back this year In one page we went from its obvious to anybody that this team is on an upward trend to no reasonable person could think this team would continuing to make incremental progress. Lol

    Logic does not say this is trending in a positive direction. We were literally a better team last year. We are literally trending downward

    And we fired him for the first minor thing we could because they saw how quickly a winning coach became the face of the university

    Those are some mighty big ifs.

    Don’t just say the bad. Hasn’t fouled or turned it over either.

    Arizona is currently in year 3 of a first time head coach. Granted that program was in a totally different place than IU but he’s had ample amount of time to screw it up if he was going to. Now granted while he’s a first time head coach I would have rather had his college experience than Woodsons pro experience. So let’s stop saying it’s only year 3.

    If he’s so desperate for names I would look at the guards we looked at in the portal that Woodson just failed to snag. Obviously he thought there was a need he just couldn’t close And then he rolled the dice that we wouldn’t have injuries and now we have two. That being said even without injuries our guard rotation probably isn’t at the level we need it

    I’m not panicking. But getting two guards up to the task of competing in the big ten is a tall task in the spring. A wing shooter is not our biggest need now and it’s not the biggest need for next year.

    I think the reason we want a coach to last for 30 years because we know how dangerous a coaching search can be.

    What makes me think they wouldn’t be serious. Probably the fact I don’t think the last 3 hires were serious.

    He whiffed on getting what we need. Doesn’t matter how many bigs we get if our guards aren’t up to the task. This isn’t the NBA where you just take the best players available. You have to recruit based on needs.

    Not saying that. Just don’t see a chance for him to have success if something doesn’t change. I don’t expect the administration to try with the next hire either so don’t really see a point in firing him. If we aren’t going to try and hire a qualified coach then it’s all moot anyway

    He got Tamar bates in year 1 recruiting. JHS in year 2. Whiffed this past year in year 3 and is currently whiffing in year 4.

    That was year 3 of recruiting for him. Let’s not misrepresent things. And by now we have most of year 4 in the books and we have nada. It’s a consistent problem that isn’t changing. Does he have time to recover sure. Historically is it likely for coaches struggling with roster construction after 4 cycles to turn it around. Not really

    Call me crazy but somebody has a better chance to make an impact than nobody

    IUBB vs #2 Kansas - Saturday, 12.16.23 @ 12:30 on CBS

    Yeah and it’s not like it’s rocket science. It’s been like 8 years since we have had a guard rotation good enough to compete in the big ten much less the tourney. Say what you want about Crean but he understood guard play was important

    I don’t think think it’s just one year we haven’t been successful getting guards. It wasn’t just last year. We got JHS and that’s kinda it. He’s the exception as I said given our track record it doesn’t look promising. If we can deviate from that track record then great. But it’s not likely

    Here’s a problem for Woodson too. We have a roster where there’s no help on the way really for what we are missing. He needs to keep the guys we have and land a solid contributor in the transfer portal. Our best guard is gone after this year and we have two guys clearly staring down the NBA although their play against good teams might indicate they aren’t ready. That doesn’t mean they are staying. He either needs to keep everybody and get one stud. Or get up to 3-4 studs in the portal. That’s not realistic given his track record. Currently we look to be a worse team in year 4. Peaking in year 2 is not a recipe for success
