At this point would anyone really be surprised if IU hired a fictional character to be coach? I mean it doesn't get much lower than "screw it, you played here 40 years ago so you're hired".

If Stevens wasn't a 100% certainty, I'd say no it wouldn't. Without that certainty it's just "maybe we can land the white whale this time if we stick with the crappy coach another year".
Sorry, you don't stick with a lousy coach like Woodson in favor of Stevens unless Stevens is a guarantee.

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.

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

I think McMahon was a walk on.

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.

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.

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.

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.
