This is the contract provision people are referencing. The language is pretty broad, and you’d need to look at the rest of the contract to see what the consequences would be.

They’re actually contractually obligated to not think about basketball this week.

It’s dead week so no basketball allowed.

Leal played 18 minutes against Purdue. We lost by 20. I don’t think 2 more minutes would have made the difference. 3 players scored 58 of our 65 points against MSU. Leal scored 0 of the 65 and you want to attribute the win to Leal. Leal was a backup on a mediocre IU team that missed the tournament last season. If we want to be better than that next season we’ll need better guards. Like we had during the best season of Woodson’s tenure when Leal played 24 minutes all season. Playing Leal more isn’t the answer. He's there for locker room chemistry, leadership, and continuity.

IU was 8-7 in games in which Leal played double digit minutes. Only 2 of the 8 wins were against tournament teams: MSU and Wisconsin. Leal scored 3 points in those two games. IU won because Ware went off. 27/11 in one, 28/12 in the other. If Anthony Leal plays significant minutes for IU next year then Mike Woodson whiffed in the portal on guards.

Nah if you want to rapture Mike Woodson, you have to come see Mike Woodson.

Sounds like someone we unfortunately know. “he couldn't have been too surprised - refusing to go to post game shows after losses and shunning anyone that criticized him. He had zero relationship with the AD. he hired assistants who couldn't develop players or teach fundamentals, and he surrounded himself by yes men who insulated from the world outside. He knew the anger was out there.”

Alright well I’m never gonna win this argument, so I think it’s tyme that I check out.

Well you seem hellbent on stopping us, tbh..

I don’t care about context in the Fire Mike Woodson thread. I’m here to complain about Mike Woodson until we fire Mike Woodson.

You told the poster who posted it to grow up lol. Your very first post on the subject. That’s “simply inquiring”?

I mean, you started this all by whining about a poster posting “L.O.L.” with a tweet of Woodson golfing. If we can’t have a laugh about that when we’re stuck with a crappy coach while Purdue is playing for a NC, what can we laugh at?

Do you fail to see how it’s all connected? I don’t care who he recruits because I’m tired of winning the offseason every offseason to turn around and be mediocre at best when the season gets here. I don’t care to puff my chest in April about a “top 5 portal class.” That’s meaningless. What matters is what that class does when the season gets here. And what that class can accomplish is hindered by the coach in charge. Best case scenario is Woodson buys enough talented mercenaries that even he can’t screw things up. But that’s unlikely. Most likely outcome is he puts together another mediocre season, sneaks into the tournament, loses the first week, and then gets extended because it’s Indiana and 3 out of 4 tournaments is a big accomplishment now.

Because a large percentage of posters want him fired and this thread helps prevent those posts from spilling into other threads. Why does it bother you so much? I don’t go into threads I don’t want to read to pick fights with people for posting in those threads.

My friend you are in the Fire Mike Woodson thread getting bent out of shape over posts dumping on Mike Woodson. A better question would be why are you here?

Seems unlikely. But I’m not interested in winning the offseason. Even a top 5 portal class would have to be coached by Mike Woodson, and we’ve seen what that looks like.

The only difference between this week and Mike Woodson’s other 51 weeks is the other coaches are taking this one off too.

Maybe not for you. What will be the excuse when he does this all summer instead of recruiting? Sorry, but when you behave the way Mike Woodson behaves you really don’t deserve any benefit of the doubt from the fanbase.

And when he was partying it up on his birthday weekend like he was 21 again when it wasn’t a dead week? If Woodson generally busted his *** this wouldn’t be an issue. But he acts like he’s semi-retired, puts out a mediocre product, and gets combative when questioned. This week is an official dead week. All the other weeks are unofficial dead weeks for Mike Woodson.

Not really true if IU had a coach capable of fielding a national championship contender. It could be us playing Monday night instead of Purdue. The IU administration sent a crystal clear signal last month that it’s not serious about its men’s basketball program. You may be ok with that, but I and many others are not.

Unfortunately, our biggest rival is playing fit a national championship, another conference rival took the coach most people wanted, and IU decided to die on the Mike Woodson hill. All because he played at IU more than 40 years ago and got his feelings hurt during the last coaching search.

He could be golfing with Jesus Christ and I’d still meme on him. He’s lazy, he’s a jerk to the other IU coaches, and he’s a terrible coach. Fire. Mike. Woodson.

After making it out to a sectional game last month, Woody absolutely deserves a nice round of golf to unwind. Maybe Tim, Isiah and the boys taught Woodson how to run a 21st century offense while out there today.

UConn already has, imo. Their past 25 years have been remarkable. Since IU’s last title, UConn has gone to 12 elite eights, 7 final fours, and won 5 titles. Could be 6 after Monday. Really is wild what they’ve accomplished over the past 30 or so years.

Sure, but the youngest of those 5 is 37 years old, and it’s not getting any younger. You ask how this has anything to do with Woodson… It’s simple. Our biggest rival is playing for a national championship while our program is a laughingstock led by a clueless coach.
