Who is this.

He can talk to them. He can’t participate with on court instruction or recruiting. So basically he’s being paid to watch our practices and games. He’ll give insight on games and recruiting I’m sure.

That or we've become the Pacers of college basketball, settling for mediocre results LOL!

Transfers haven't worked out with us since Max and Nick. Josh and Evan were busts. I'm fully in on the wait and see train. I'm a little more excited for the season to start but we still are returning a bunch of players who couldn't make wide open 3's in a B1G game. That's a concern. Woody and staff's player development will be on full display next season after having a full off-season program currently ongoing.

For all we know, Parker and Johnson could be busts so.. we shall see!

Well I wouldn't say it's a final grade, we'll know their final grade if they are fired in four years like Archie and company. But based on what I've seen --- the experience Woodson is bringing in and the name recognition seems pretty solid to me. B+ for their pre-season / pre-program attendance. Time will tell if they are above average students or if they're attending summer school in grade 12.

I've had him starting based off the reports of his ability to shoot and just the unknown part. We know what Hunter, Leal, and Trey will bring (minus the development they obtain this summer maybe). We need a 3&D guy and Parker might be the answer. Hunter is a 3 guy without the D portion LOL! Johnson x Kristian x Parker x Race x TJD gives us offense which I think Woody will prefer over defense, minus his reputation as a defensive minded coach.

Woodson staff is complete, overall grade. B+ Fife is the homerun hire here, he very well could be our next head coach. My favorite hoosier and he knows the conference. I'd like to see Hunter prove himself more this year and the following year. Hard to judge him off one year under Archie. We'll see how good Parker and Johnson are. Yasir will also need time to be measured. Looks like he's going to be a coach that is recruiting mostly, with some solid experience in player development. Matta being on staff as an advisor seems like a great idea. I love having Roberts around as well. While they can't be on the court or recruiting, they'll have some input and "background work" ;) What would make this an A? Lewis on staff, Matta as an assistant coach imo.

I’m waiting for Woody to call me :(

Beyond shocked at this. This never happens in coaching changes.

Mike Woodson realizing he has a full summer of workouts and practices unlike the NBA.

Dane is well regarded and very well could be our next coach, he's the guy I wanted after masshole. Archie has a personality, you just have to get him out of the office to see it. Check out his interview with HH.

DANE ********* FIFE! He texted Archie after he was fired. Very nice of him.

didn't hunter support the woodson hire on twitter?

Just saw Dane was recruiting him as well. Would be a great landing for Dane!

Jordan can play small ball five. I don't think we need another 4 or 5. We need shooting. Give me another SG. Kristian Johnson / Rob Parker / Trey Race / Hunter TJD / Jordan Woody will stagger line-ups as well.

Joey gone.

It's for sure noticeable. It really depends on program to program. In my opinion, Indiana Basketball doesn't need to post as much as other program's because there are already 1 million + followers on Twitter. There is a fan base, they may have decided they don't want to saturate with too much media. Archie may have been stiff on what could've been recorded and posted as well. It's a decision that is made upon the head coach with the amount of content. Indiana has a Creative Director that makes the content and graphics, he gets input as well. Woody is pretty old-school, I'm unsure if it will be a major change in the amount of content posted. It's not a budget issue that's for sure, it's a decision making process.

Four part series of a recent interview. Here's part one. Haven't listened to it yet.

Haven’t been here in a couple days. Rosemond appears to have not been on a staff for a couple years now. Where are people seeing he’s a shooting expert? I like that he’s younger and could have some nice potential to develop players. It appears this is a recruiting coach perhaps? Interesting he’s been out of a job for two years. Did Woody call his old NBA coaching friend Avery Johnson asking for a name? lol Odd.. I don’t know.

I think Race has the potential to be a catch and shoot four. He hit a couple this season right? He honestly could have an NBA career if he add a 3 point shot. He reminds me of a Morgan in a way.

Yes I agree with the transition, we need to see more of that. I'd like to see Kristian and Johnson break out. Which falls back to shooting though, sprint to the corners or space the floor and hope we can make 3's suddenly. We played very little 4 out this past season. Most of it resulted after our initial action. Whether it was our PnR offense or the roll and replace actions, some of it resulted in 4-out type looks. It also didn't help that teams were shrinking the floor on us each night, which basically automatically resulted in 4-Out. This was seen in our small line-ups. There's so many variations of each offense in basketball, we'll find out eventually what the offense looks like in November. Archie switched up the offense this past season despite little roster construction changes. We could see Woodson change his mind based off player progression this summer. It starts and ends with our ability to shoot the 3 though.

4 out, 1 in. We can predict TJD will be the main guy in, which seems to be the smart move at least. How Woody wants to surround TJD is with creators and shooters. We ran some 4 out, 1 in actions this past year when we went smaller. Problem is, we couldn't shoot and there was a lot of standing around. The players have to become better shooters and that's really honestly the only factor to consider. If our team can't improve shooting, then we'll see B1G team shrinking the floor like they did last year vs us, even if we were to add cuts (motion). No idea on defense, Woody is more of a defensive coach to my understanding. While I'm excited to have Woodson bring back our main core, we still have a significant problem on shooting and scoring. Throw in defense on there. He's going to earn his pay-check this off-season I hope.

Yes, XJ should be much better at getting in the lanes and finding the open man. Kristian will be great at that as well. Rob is average at it so that's okay, he can improve still. I think we have some shot creators for others, but we have to find a way to shoot the basketball from behind that line that counts for 3 points! Losing our best shooter doesn't help. I'm thinking it's a style of play / fit decision for Frank.
