Just saying, if Caitlin Clark was on the IU men’s team, she would be the lowest level walk-on in the history of the program. The hyperbole is getting extreme ‘round here.

Pretty sure that ship sailed when they hired him; it's so stupid it bears repeating, they hired a guy that hadn't been a HC in nearly 10 years because he played here 40 years ago. No serious program even gives him any consideration.

No, you haven’t. You have not seen anyone say the words “we will need to give Woodson 4 years to get it rolling”. And even if you did, shame on you for being the guy who sees something posted “on twitter or another board” one time and falls for it, can’t see beyond it being an opinion that the overwhelming majority of the fanbase doesn’t share, and does the “a lot of people are saying…” nonsense.

No hyperbole in my post. It’s my opinion, but it’s true. And I suspect that Caitlin Clark would agree. Indiana 2A boys high school teams would beat Iowa women’s… really easily. She’s a 6’0, 150 lb guard that plays a foot below the rim and is a career 38% shooter from 3, with a smaller ball. She’s being guarded by 6’0 players that play 1 1/2 feet below the rim. And she’s the best college women’s player in the country. I love the women’s game! Doesn’t have to be the best in the world to be entertaining and enjoyable!

I've seen enough. Normally I'd say that after getting us back to the tournament in back to back years after not having been for four years straight, he could have a pass for an off year. But this year is SO ugly and so full of the same issues we've seen throughout Woody's entire tenure that I've lost all confidence in our ability to actually be competitive with this staff. Sure, we will probably win a few more games here and there. Maybe even an upset or two. I hate to be harsh because I'd have liked Woodson to succeed here, but I honestly don't think the team could do anything else to convince me it'll be worthwhile to have a fourth season with this staff. The fact is, this team never had a chance because of roster construction. And it STILL has enough talent that it should be performing way better than it is. Woody's post game comments are particularly dry and lacking tone. Things are going to get ugly... I hope the admin spares us all the ache and pain after this offseason. Not getting my hopes too high though. All I know is I can't torture myself by watching many more performances like yesterday.

Interesting hearing his philosophy on how many guys he likes to play and why. Will be music to many people’s ears in here. the entire interview is great but his comments about his rotations starts around the 5:05 mark. This is a Chris Beard level guy without the baggage. Personality seems big enough to be able to win at IU. He checks every single box for me personally.

How often are the fans actually wrong? We knew Crean was done. The pipeline had dried up. Bombed in Georgia. Archie never got it going. Currently 10-12 at Rhode Island. Stood on the 3 point line during a game last week. Woody had bad stretches each season and managed to rally in Jan/Feb…. But he had TJD last two seasons to make up for it. If we let recruiting dry up (again) it’s going to be hard to turn the tide (again). Sent from my Fisher-Price Flip Phone

Pretty sure I had a Fire Archie thread in the Crean years lol

Sure we do. Our identity is obvious. We're a tall team that can't rebound and gives up second chance points. We're a team from inidiana that can't shoot the basketball. We have long stretches every game where we won't score We're terrible free throw shooters We don't guard the 3 ball It's a brutal identity, but it's an identity

Woodson built this roster, if it already needs rebuilt then just go ahead and fire him because he screwed up pretty spectacularly building his roster to begin with.

For me the drop off in 3 point shooting started when the actual staffs decided to not prioritize 3 pt shooting and recruit actual knock down 3 pt shooters. They recruited ok to good shooters but never a knock down elite shooter like they got coming in next year with Mcneeley.

Woodson’s problem seems he doesn’t listen to anyone but mike Woodson.

The football program has a brighter future than the basketball program and we are just hoping for 6 wins in football.

Here's what needs to happen. Find the absolute best coach available within reason (guessing guys like Beard and Pearl won't pass muster with Whitten & Co.), and when he arrives for his interview, present him with these. That way, you have a guy with Indiana ties ...

I'd give anything to have Sampson running the program...in hindsight of course

I’d argue recruiting has dried up. Swung and missed on a number of portal guards last off season. Only 1 signee for 24.

If Tennessee plays like this in March look out. They looked really impressive tonight

If he isn't fired this season then iu is officially not serious about basketball. That is my thinking. I believe he will be. It's going to get ugly imo. Look at the schedule! If he don't turn this around it will be the worst iu basketball season I can remember without counting the bare cupboard crean rebuild years. We got our ***** kicked today!

Complaint. Thad not being healthy enough to coach here. Rumors Woodson wouldn't listen to him while he worked here. Now watching him coach better than Woodson. What a joke iu is. Sent from my SM-A326U using Tapatalk

For reference, the thread that originally started as Fire Archie Miller and transitioned to Archie Miller Fired reached 87 pages in a span of 2 months. The Fire Tom Crean thread that transitioned to Tom Crean Fired reached a whopping 1,089 pages and stretched from Jan. 2014 to July 2017. Woody's got a lot of ground to make up.

But... We did just hire a football coach with a ton of energy and has the football program looking up... Maybe boosters say, "let's get that in a basketball coach."

Keep updating the page to hope someone who knows something say “boosters talking”, “word is he’s gone at end of year”. I’ll stay dreaming while this pain of being mediocre keeps stinging

Get Beard and keep McNeely hopefully Or get Drew and get Edgecombe. Lol. We need a different talent evaluator. A different system. A different everything. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Because the staff is a failure. In no world should you be a paid anywhere near a million a year let alone millions and suck this bad. Should definitely be fired Sent from my SM-A326U using Tapatalk
