And for billionaires 2m isn't a drop in the bucket. Yep. He was always going to get players, no one said he wouldn't, especially with 6m to spend. He's still the same Mike Woodson that has admitted the 3 isn't a point of emphasis. The same Mike Woodson that got fired from the Knicks after his teams had the same problems we're seeing here, then never got another HC gig. And if Chris is right that Woodson is already tired of this portal season it just shows he wants the NIL money to be a substitute for actually doing part of the job he was hired for.

I don't have a problem with them spending money. I have a problem that they're doing it so much now just to avoid having to admit it was a mistake to hire a guy no one else would've answered the phone for.

Yep. Like I've said, imagine a good coach having this support instead of just trying to buy a team that not even Woodson can screw up. I wanted Crean gone and the last two hires make him look good.

Just take down the others, since actually winning something doesn't matter to IU.

I thought Kentucky's mating call started with 'hey cuz'.

I figured there was another procedure on it.

It was misdiagnosed originally, he had a microfracture IIRC. He's had a few procedures on it. The procedure this year was reported as a knee scope but that wouldn't have kept him out all year.

Those are so comfortable. Start a new cbb trend.

On the bolded, you hear people say that but it's not always true. Oladipo's biggest jump was between sophomore and junior year.

I think it was always going to be that way once they were stupid enough to bring him back. If he so much as made the tournament, even just barely, they'd look for an excuse to bearing him back. IU has shown they're too concerned with optics and they would not want the black eye of firing a program legend.

I didn't expect Woodson to do well because he's a lousy coach and no one wanted him after the Knicks fired him. I also didn't expect him to have the mindset that he doesn't have to do certain parts of the job; I figured he'd atleast give it everything he had because of his connection to the program.

Patrick went to Butler, not Connor.

16th out of 18, looks like a raise is in order.

I didn't see anything about a commitment when I checked, but she could help. She averaged 19 points and 11 boards as a junior.

Mike Wooson isn't the worst coach in the conference (yet), Mike Woodson did his job.- Mike Woodson, probably

He thinks one of them is a 7 footer named Omar Baller, at least he's close.

If Stevens would take the job you launch Woodson from the nearest cannon.

I do wish they would've just given that support to a good coach instead of hoping they can buy a team that not even Woodson can screw up.

Same. The Globetrotters couldn't carry Woodson to a Final Four; if IU actually had expectations and accepted no excuses he would've been fired. He should've been fired before he got back to the locker room after getting ejected against Nebraska. I remember posters thinking last year was a good portal.

Between Galloway and Tucker I don't see both coming off the bench.

They won't. If he shows he can't meet expectations he'll be gone, they won't give a crap about optics.

The McDuck money vault may not be enough.

He was given a 6 year contract, another 3 would finish his contract. Don't put that out there, someone at IU might see it and think it's a good idea; and yes, the decision makers have shown they are stupid enough to think that's a good idea.

You didn't actually expect him to, did you? At least Ballo is a good big, just bad for spacing.

Kentucky fans wanted a new coach and will get one because Arkansas poached Cal. IU needs a new coach and is stuck because they refuse to fire a 2nd team AA from over 40 years ago and no one else would want him.
