“Let him cook”

Chill. Woodson knows he needs to make changes and he’s making them. I’ve seen a bunch already.

It’s only “good news” in the sense that it’s not as bad as it could be. But Mike Woodson screwed up the roster so bad that “good news” is still an absolutely terrible position to be in. Galloway, Reneau, and Mgbako are the only three players left who we should want playing legitimate minutes next season. So we’re relying on a guy who couldn’t fill a guard spot or two last season coming off a good season to somehow find 5 starter/rotation level players in the transfer portal coming off a terrible season.

And that’s really best case scenario. Unfortunate;, but that’s what happens when you’re a bad team with no depth and no high school recruits coming in.

Yikes. So basically we need 5 new guys to fill a 8 man rotation. Not ideal.

Dumping on the fans is a lucrative business under this regime.

He’s going to try it run it back with a healthy Xavier, pass on all the portal guards, and then be reminded that Xavier can’t come back. Then after the first loss next year he’ll talk about being blindsided by Xavier not coming back for a 7th season.

He’s sitting in his office waiting for transfers to show up. If you want to play for Mike Woodson, you come to Mike Woodson.

And he’s making sure to screw over iubb as his final act. What a nice guy.

Honestly I was more so thinking about the professional leagues with my comment and forgot about the Illinois guy. The nba didn’t suspend Kobe at all during that. That’s not happening today. The legal system will do its thing and in the Illinois case said the player could play, but post-MeToo sexual assault allegations are treated differently and I don’t think we’d see Steve Alford handle it the same way now as he did then. But in any event it doesn’t really matter because he’ll never be the coach at IU. Plus, you can get his results from someone else who doesn’t have that event in his past.

The university suspended him indefinitely. He had to go to court and get a preliminary injunction.

He did after he faced some heat after getting the UCLA job. Idk, it was over 20 years ago. It was a far different culture back then. Heck, Kobe Bryant played an entire season with a pending rape charge back then. That’d never happen today. That’s not an excuse. He was wrong. He didn’t handle it properly. But there really isn’t anything in the 20+ years since to suggest he’d make the same mistake again. However, he’s not really a good coach. Above average at best. If the IU administration was as hellbent on an IU guy as it seems they were, Alford was the only legitimate option, but I doubt he’d be killing it here.

Dusty won’t be available next year. And he’s not going to take a demotion when he could be a P5 coach next year. I don’t even want dusty but I have zero doubt that whoever IU hires will be worse.

What’s even the point of asking Woodson to retire if you’re not going to fire him if he says no? It’s harder and harder to be an IU fan knowing how little the program cares about winning. We are not a serious basketball program. We’re a vanity project for an old player.

Brad Stevens

Same with Shrewsbury. He’s 50-51 and 24-36 in conference play in three seasons as a P5 head coach…

100%. They care more about massaging Mike Woodson’s enormous ego than they do winning basketball games.

Fire Scott Dolson too then.

Yes, your response to the post you quoted makes no sense.

What are you even talking about?

Bad night to be a bottle of wine in Bloomington

Our last crappy coach got four years so this crappy coach has to get four years too. Lmao. What an utter joke of an administration we have.

OSU is going full iubb. Never go full iubb.

I hate Mike Woodson so much

I don’t disagree. But the IU administration’s expectations are the only reason it’s not a fireable offense. NCAA tournament appearances should be the bare minimum at IU, not gold stars that get you a million dollar raise. Mike Davis got fired right after making the round of 32.
