I think it's time to put Brad to bed...once and for all. Let him be a Masshole. Jumping on the McCasland train, full speed ahead.

Soo....a lot of really confident takes that we were getting him. How do we go from offer in hand waiting for signature, to Goodman dropping he isn't a candidate? Sucks...but still confident we can get a guy to turn this program around.

My friends still give me crap for what they call the "Billy Donovan Incident"....thought I had good info, got burned. And for that reason, I am out, until he is officially in...can't let myself go there again. Old contacts in Bloomington aren't hearing anything other than the rumor mill...most everyone just sending me screenshots of this board and burner accounts on twitter. If it happens, to the moon. If it doesn't, still think we find someone to take us to the moon.

If this doesn't happen, some of you may have to go into witness protection haha.

Someone mentioned it earlier in the thread. I know Woodson is gone, and we are already planning and thinking about the future...but I will at least give him credit, he was coaching his butt off last night. Worked the sideline, getting into guys and teaching/coaching. Kenya was also heavily engaged. The switch to zone was effective, MSU wasn't hitting...rotations were decent, guys were locked in. This team still can't seem to grasp when to foul and when not to in end game situations...and who to foul. We fouled at 15 seconds and 10 seconds, no where near the basket and before they even got into a set, causing us to have to clutch up and hit a couple more free throws than we needed to. Also, we didn't even try to deny their best FT shooter the ball on inbounds...but it ended up working out. The bench also showed life, excitement...hyping and encouraging each other. I don't think this team has rolled over and quit, when they easily could of just phoned it in given the circumstances.

Is Carlyle benched for life? He had the flu, and then hasn’t touched the floor.

Going to be a long couple weeks haha. Spring portal is open from March 24 - April 22. Final four starts 4/5 with championship game on 4/7. Will be interested to see how quickly we announce, especially if it is a coach in the tourney, to give them time once they are bounced to start working the portal.

Don’t look now, on a run!

Going about how I expected this to go… Still dont see the harm in letting an assistant take the lead and try to inject some life and something different to finish this out.

Sometimes its hard to say good-bye.... NAHHHH, SEE YOU IN THE COACHES THREAD BABYYYY!

You gotta think if he actually cared about “taking the focus away from him”…he’d step away and let someone else finish the season.

Can I come back now?!?!

I can't help myself...gotta get my fix... But I will take one for the team and log off until after 5pm EST...you know, so that Friday Afternoon dump can happen (insert jokes in responses below)

My only issue is...Then why not hold staff and team meetings after that has been finalized...they had to know there was a high likelihood this would be leaked and they'd have to address it if those meetings occurred before having all the details already ironed out. I'd never go to my larger team and let them know one of our managers is being fired/retiring/stepping away, without having all of those details ironed out first.

Dakich throwing Porter Moser out there...

On it! Logging off...

IDS Article this morning said "Indiana Athletics Spokespeople told the Indiana Daily Student they do not have any information regarding Woodson's status".... Osterman saying "nothing official yet around Mike Woodson's Future"..."Should the job open up"... Longer it goes...the more of a circus it becomes IMO haha.

My take...if things had been in motion for weeks, and you knew conversations were going to take place yesterday, with a high likelihood that it would be leaked...you would hope Dolson and team had done the prep work and would be ready to put out a statement or hold a press conference urgently to address, especially with a game tomorrow. The longer this goes with crickets from IU, has me leaning towards a scenario where we were caught with our pants down and unprepared for this leaking yesterday, and we are now scrambling. Will be interested to see what, if anything, comes out today.

So....when is this press conference or news release happening?

Curious why you are so certain he is going to finish the year vs. retire and step away. He very well could, and you could be right, but nothing has been announced yet. “Specifics”, “Announcement” still to come per everything I’ve read.

Did I miss where it’s been announced that he is finishing the season out? Most I’ve seen says an announcement on the specifics to come prior to Saturday? Seems like there is still a lot in flux here…

How does Woodson only "considering" a retirement align with the Brad Stevens plot... I just don't understand why the leak is that he is "considering" retirement...vs. just waiting until that's been decided and dropping it then.

So, what did I miss?

Let the news drop...logging off!

I know the moment I log off, news will drop...
