To be fair, he wasn't coaching the Indiana Hoosiers either. Sorry, I know it's the wrong thread but that was too easy to pass up.

His dad was, yes.

Make the tournament, and not a stupid play in game. We've seen time and again the right coach can make a big difference pretty quickly, we should expect the same with our resources.

From what I read for 2025-26 the NCAA granted an extra year of eligibility for players that were previously JUCO. The waiver has to be applied for by the coach, it isn't automatically granted.

Just in title.

It's Kentucky, the family tree is more like a ladder.

We survived the last 8 years haven't we?

2 years I think.

Jobe averaged 4 points 4 boards and 1 block the year before he got to IU. He wasn't anything special before Crean came calling.

We've seen time after time that the right coach makes a pretty big impact in a short amount of time. 4-5 years just to get going? Then we got it wrong, again. I haven't seen anyone expect a national title in year one, but if the people preaching time are being honest they probably expected more than 1 of his WVU players would want to join him. There's nothing wrong with people saying they see warning signs.

To be fair, the powers that be insisted on boy scouts when every other program realized the NCAA couldn't care less about their own rules.

Here's a band I don't recall seeing mentioned in this thread; three sisters from Mexico called The Warning.

Oh yeah, Crean really showed what he was capable of at Georgia. Do those fans even know they have basketball?

Give UK our last 25 years, the only thing left of Lexington would be ashes. Fans aren't the problem; horrendous mismanagement is. Expectations aren't a bad thing. Or we could start hanging banners saying we tried, just put the ones that actually matter in storage so no one makes the mistake of thinking this is a serious program.

Oh some would be. No one should be but they would be. I wouldn't.

"And I'm keeping access to the Pfau course!" -Woodson, probably

I don't think anyone expects to compete for a title yesr one; but being in the tournament and possibly winning a game should absolutely be the expectation with no excuses. We need to stop lowering expectations and making excuses, coaches are paid as much as they are for a reason and that reason isn't "well, I tried".

So IU would voluntarily give up scholarships and ban themselves from the post season for 5 years.

He left a note. "You wanna talk to Mike Woodson, you gotta come to Mike Woodson".

No, this was Hill's position.
