    This is a much more concise way of how I'm thinking than I've been able to say it. My thoughts have very little to do with having a poor season. That is forgivable. To me this has gone far beyond how he coaches the team and deep in to how he leads the program. We have the perfect opportunity to move on from him while spinning a very positive message as to why we are doing so.

    The bottom line is that his record this year isn't cause for dismissal -- it's the how and why the record is what it is, the lack of vision forward, and unwillingness to change.  Making the tournament two straight years and then going 17-13 wouldn't get a coach fired IF there looked to be a future.  I'm not happy about 17-13 but am livid at having no recruits and a stubborn coach who doesn't know the college game and refuses to accept responsibility and effort.

    What is the risk to the program image if we allow him to stick around while he's outwardly proven the inability, and unwillingness to handle recruiting at this level, while pushing a system that is counter to what is successful in college basketball today? This situation has gone well past just the poor results this season where Woody's bosses can point to a pretty clear dereliction of duties. Dolson, Whitten, the BoT, whoever would be involved in parting ways can do so with a message that doesn't even mention on court results and most reasonably minded people would understand, especially those involved in college hoops, and likely even more so, coaches and recruits. So, the question to me would be is the program image more at risk for parting ways with a former player coach who has shown a pattern of either under performing or simply not performing essential duties of the job, or is program image more at risk by allowing a coach to continue leading the University's flagship program while pretty clearly showing a pattern of either under performing of simply not performing essential duties of the job because he's a former player? To me this has escalated pretty far past a tricky situation straight to a "facts are friendly" situation. Anyone left in Woody's corner who would be upset if he was let go, would have no logical recourse if the facts are laid out to them behind the decision to part ways, again, completely leaving on court results this season aside. This probably sounds drastic, but in my opinion, the administration needs to adopt the mindset that they can no longer allow someone, former player or not, to steward the program in this way, and recognizing that and acknowledging that publicly head on could be a very positive thing. To me, the risk to the program image is far worse to continue on this path any further.

    Yes, definitely referring to recruiting. He's done some good things in the portal, and for HS recruits he's done a lot by taking advantage of late decommits from other programs. It's great that he was able to do that, but it's not something to always count on. You cannot build a roster every year only in the portal and/or hoping to jump in on a late decommit. High school recruiting is a much longer game and we're seeing how his efforts, or lack there of, over the course of his tenure is playing out by having zero commits for the future both next season and don't appear to be in very good position with key recruits beyond that. So now we HAVE to hit a grand slam in the portal or cross our fingers another late decommit has interest in being the only freshman coming in? Is it really a gross over-reaction? This pattern over time is where (yes, my opinion) we get to the dereliction of duties that warrant a parting of ways. I much prefer he just retire....definitely agree there. But if he won't, the justification is there to part ways and the message not be that of instability but that of the administration protecting the program and not allowing it to be led in this way. But yes, first and foremost....push like hell for retirement.

    YOU DO IT FOR THE CLICKS!! Nah...80/20 rule, man. I think 80% of ppl here probably know exactly how to take the info you bring and appreciate the hell out of you spending the time bringing that info. I've always thought it was pretty hilarious seeing the ppl who come to a free message board thinking they're getting 100% concrete insider info. Wasn't somebody moaning about their reputation being ruined with people they know b/c they passed along info about Brad Stevens that they got from here? Man, that was a trip. Anyway, keep it coming buddy. But you at least owe me sushi.

    Just saying. There is NO place, for any amount of money, where 100% concrete insider information is available.
