    OK I'll do my best to help. At the end of the season Dolson who is furious with Woodson for calling out the fans, sits down with him to discuss the season, to see what the plan is for next year. So Coach let's start with Mgbako getting arrested. Is that the second or third arrest in your tenure? OK let's move on to not beating any good teams in the nonconference. Then we didn't start very well in the Big Ten, but I will give you credit we ended well. Next, our recruiting is not going very well why is that? Next, I've noticed you have missed your radio show several times this year. You do know that you are contractually obligated to be there every Monday right? Well, I'm going to be honest and don't think you are the person to lead us any longer in Men's basketball. Mike Woodson as my good buddy Trish says YOUR FIRED. That is how I'm picturing the season-ending talk to go.

    Promise to get everyone the update I committed to last weekend in the next day or two. Wanted to let things shake out from the meeting Tuesday and see how the tourney games went.

    I have a big problem with people who don't take accountability. One of the main reasons you rub me the wrong way & is also how you are so alike to your head coach.You blame everyone but the person in the mirror. He could have changed how everyone felt on Sunday if he had come out & said hey my bad on this season. We did not compete for BT championships or make the NCAA tournament like I said we would from day 1. That's on me, and I'll make sure we do better from here on out. NO accountability But no he can't handle that, It's my fault because I point out that he's a mediocre coach in the Big Ten 31-29. He was the same with the Atlanta Hawks and the same with the Knicks. He refuses to change but he happily blames everyone else but himself.

    Someone forgot to tell Louisville that they were required to give Payne 3.5 years because Mack got 3.5 years.

    Off topic, but I have really enjoyed this board and love the posters here even when I had some intense disagreements so I thought I would share in the most active thread. Had some lumps that I was really concerned about and between seeing the doctor and then getting the ultrasound scheduled took some time before I noticed them to when I had them checked. Ultrasound results look positive from what I can see from the radiologist report. Will follow up with my doc but a load lifted off my mind.

    It goes a bit deeper than “simply win”. Right now, we’ve won 4 games in a row. Getting X back has contributed to that, sure. But it is also attributed to WHO they have played and the recent success of those teams. Consider: *Wisconsin: 3-7 in their last 10 games *Maryland: 2-8 in their last 10 games *Minnesota: 4-6 in their last 10 games *Michigan St: 5-5 in their last 10 games Don’t forget it took a fire alarm to slow the Wisconsin momentum of coming back from 15 down to tying the score. We had a 17 point lead over Michigan St that was completely erased before pulling it out. We were down 15 in the second half at Maryland before rallying to win. There is no consistency in play. Let me say that again, THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY IN PLAY. Which is why so many on here feel the way they do. Sure, we won 4 straight, but we did it over teams playing mediocre at best. In five games against Top 10 team from Kenpom (UCONN, Auburn, Purdue, Illinois) we have lost by an AVERAGE of 19.4 points. Those teams shot an average of 43.9% from the field, 37.1% from outside the 3-pt arc and 75.5% from the FT line. IU averaged 42.1, 23.3, and 61.2 for those 5 games. THIS is why people are pi$$ed. Mike Woodson promised competing for Big 10 and National Championships. He hasn’t come close to either, in large part because of style of play and recruiting. So be happy with winning. But don’t be condescending to those of us who aren’t. As I’ve shown you above, IU has done nothing during this win streak to indicate wins are sustainable against good competition.

    That money would’ve been far better spent buying Mike out and hiring a real coach than continuing the Mike Woodson vanity tour and trying to buy him another fringe tournament team. He’s so lazy that he’s abandoned recruiting altogether and is just throwing money at mercenaries.

    You don't understand, nobody cares about what YOU think qualifies someone as a "true fan". Mike Woodson can't tell someone if they're a true fan or not, nor can Leal. Being a true fan is an emotional experience for each individual fan. They may hold views about the current state or direction of the program that you don't agree with but that doesn't mean they're any less a "true fan", whatever the hell that means, than you are. Folks need to stop trying to be the fan gatekeepers

    If IU is dumb enough to be convinced that abandoning high school recruiting so a 67 year old can swoop in late and get some portal additions then they will get exactly what they deserve and I will sit back and watch it burn.

    I still don't understand how anybody can believe that Dalton Knecht looked at the situation at: UT: Ziegler, Vescovi returning, Gainey and Ledlum committed, and Jordan-James possibly returning (which he did) -or- IU: XJ and Galloway returning plus nothing but a huge, massive wide-open Dalton Knecht sized gap at the 3 (Mgbako was a month away from committing) and said, yeah well I'm not guaranteed a starting spot there and somehow guaranteed a starting spot at UT so I'll go there. He didn't even visit us, did he? I know you're going to say something like "you don't have to believe it but it's true." No, it's not. Dalton Knecht did not want to play for Indiana.

    Board of Trustees Agenda March 12, 2024 Discuss raise and contract extension for Mike Woodson. Discuss "Operation Btown Banners" to determine the effectiveness of our efforts to infiltrate the Fire Coach Woodson thread. Determine price to purchase Btown Banners to stop dissent if necessary. Discuss monitoring social media and providing IU fans a social credit score so "True IU" fans may be rewarded, and enemies of our current regime may be punished. Continue basketball propaganda campaign that everything is great, and everything is going as planned.

    IU will have to make a decision next year. You can’t have a coach with 2 years remaining on a contract going into a recruiting cycle without an extension or plan to move on. We all know the jokes about Woody not recruiting high school kids but no program should go into year 5 without extending a coach or making it clear you are moving on. In my opinion next year will be his last year regardless of results. If Woody gets a year 5 he is going to get an extension which in my opinion would be a program killer decision. He could make a sweet 16 next year and the right move would be moving on. Should be this year but it is what it is

    There was a reason Woody thanked Pete Yonkman at the senior day festivities. If anyone doesn't know Pete is the president of Cook Inc. The check had been deposited into our NIL collective for next year. If we don't get a recruit from the transfer portal it's because they don't want to play for Mike Woodson and has nothing to do with money. I don't know how much the check was but from what I'm hearing is we won't be outbid for a transfer.

    Every contract should have a clause if you go 0-6 against Penn St, Northwestern, and Nebraska you're fired

    From what @Chris007 has said, QB thinks Dusty May is Archie Miller (and QB is clearly triggered by Archie Miller). I would think that another final four run would turn Dusty May into Brad Stevens, but I also think that 3 beers will turn my wife into Margot Robbie, so what the hell do I know?

    I think Terri has expressed her feelings to Dolson and it will be addressed in the season ending meeting.

    I appreciate the DM's from people. I'm going to slow down my posting for a little bit. It was just becoming too much and now that we have nice weather I'm going to try to be outside a little more. He was just rubbing me the wrong way and bringing out a bad side in me. I have my own wife calling me a fair-weather fan also. She thinks he's an awful coach but wants him to get a 4th year since he's a nice old man. I've pulled all of my hair out already. Go Hoosiers

    We suck. Woodson needs to retire. You can’t lose to Nebraska 3 times in the same season

    I can tell you that our administration is keeping an eye on the situation. We have a great concern that one or more of these programs will attempt to poach Coach Woodson due to his recent successes here. Because of this, we are working on a few things that will keep Coach Woodson in Bloomington for the foreseeable future. So rest easy partner, we got this covered.

    It just baffles my mind that instead of spending money on getting a good coach now for the future, certain people would rather just spend money to help Woodson try to cover up his flaws as a coach by essentially buying him a team to try to make him look good. Just ridiculous and pathetic. Especially with the way Woodson acts. Get him the heck outta here.

    Breaking: random people on on a free message board had hot takes before the season that turned out wrong. Working on confirming if true

    Coach Curt Cignetti to INDIANA

    ESPN: Important question for any Indiana coach ... have you met John Mellencamp yet? Cignetti: I did, actually. We had an event with about 34 donors, with $100,000 get in for NIL. He came and played three or four songs. It was awesome. Mark Cuban was there. So was his business partner, Todd Wagner. It was a great affair. $3.4 million NIL meet and greet... WHEW
