    Because there was no reason he should have been seriously considered…….Except that IU is completely unserious now. The fact that he feels that way shows his delusions
  2. hoopsta007
    How exactly isn’t he unqualified? Losing in the NBa in no way qualifies you to be a college coach at power 5 school.

    I and I’m sure others appreciate everything you and others bring to the board for free even if it didn’t work out like we know it should. At least they were courteous enough to announce this early to spare us staying up too late tonight

    There used to be a time where I dreaded hiring an IU guy because I thought it would be Alford. Then in IU fashion we somehow find another IU guy that makes Alford look like John Wooden

    Someone pull the fire alarm quick!!

    Purdue has been that team for me for the last few years but I’ll gladly sacrifice a bracket to see them lose early
  7. hoopsta007
    At the least we give him clicks. Using IU fans for self promotion
  8. hoopsta007
    That is the most frustrating part. Clearly there was at least some reservation or realism of the risk of hiring Woodson. Then he promptly runs off the people put in place to mitigate that risk.

    Thanks for bringing the info to the board even if it isn’t what we all want/think should happen. Do you think there a chance it won’t be Dolson’s decision to make and money could come from other sources? The mismanagement of this whole situation is mind blowing

    So they have the money to pay one man (Stevens I’m assuming) but aren’t willing to spend it on any other elite options? That right there tells me they aren’t taking this as seriously as they should.
  11. hoopsta007
    You are correct. If there was any accountability Dolson would be going down with this ship. Shouldn’t be able to screw up Football and Basketball for years and keep your job (unless you work at IU).

    Sign of where we are as a program. Northwestern isn’t even that fired up over beating IU in Bloomington. Just another day at the office
  13. hoopsta007
    Too late. We passed embarrassing weeks ago
  14. hoopsta007
    Painter worked Purdue that way. He was never going to Missouri.

    Definitely not pining for Crean. Just pointing out that Crean’s system had a greater chance to overachieve vs. a Woodson offense. Neither coach should be the bellwether of what fans should expect at IU
  16. hoopsta007
    Creans teams had their flaws but at least they were capable of some big wins just because the style may have been gelling that night. Funny thing I remember one year he beat two number one seeds during the season and still didn’t get a bid.

    Depressing thought but not surprising given results but we haven’t had a coach that I’d consider top 5 in the league (minus Sampson) in 25 years. Ineptitude at its finest.
  18. hoopsta007
    I think some could be persuaded if the money is there. While not as common it isn’t unheard of for high major coaches to make a move
  19. hoopsta007
    Better yet take Painter from Purdue. Some PU fans wanted him gone last year. Seriously though I’d love to get someone like Pearl or Drew. We would need a big hire to show that we are serious (if we even are anymore). Hiring a mid major coach even if successful at their current school is something any other power 5 school can do.
  20. hoopsta007
    Also we usually don’t make the passes to shooters in a shooting position.
  21. hoopsta007
    The money must be dying off at UCLA. From what we hear now Wooden was likely offering more than 300k decades ago!
  22. hoopsta007
    To add to that I believe he got a T on the bench while out with his injury last year.
  23. hoopsta007
    It’s all we have left at this point
  24. hoopsta007
    Good point and it’s true things have gotten worse (and it seems unbelievable that it has been almost 20 years since Sampson). I think the answer is money, NIL and resources. Coaching is an ego driven profession so I think some of the better ones could be convinced. It would no doubt be expensive but could provide fans a sense of taking it seriously and with urgency
  25. hoopsta007
    I agree with you. May has looked good and has IU history but we need to set our sights on a proven power 5 coach if we are conducting the search right. We poached Sampson from Oklahoma and my guess is we’d have another banner if not for all the shenanigans.
