28 minutes ago, Feathery said:He is not going anywhere this year so we should be pulling for him to have the best team possible to have a successful year. I don’t care who the coach is, I want them to be successful so the program is successful. If he fails then Dolson will take care of it next year.
The problem is with what the IU administration considers to be ‘failing’. Does another season like his first constitute a failure? I don’t think it will to them. 1 tournament win in 2 seasons got him a million dollar raise. We basically have to hope for a total train wreck if we want him gone. Anything better than an absolute disaster will keep us in basketball purgatory.

7 minutes ago, Home Jersey said:Yeah I feel the same way for the most part. How they start the season is going to matter a lot, for many reasons.
There's just no way he's announcing before next season that it will be his last no matter what IMO.
I don’t see any way that he’ll leave voluntarily. IU will have to fire him.
im fully expecting another bubble season and early tournament exit. Woodson will get a nice extension and raise because “you can’t fire a guy who led you to three tournament appearances in four seasons.” The pumpers will then tout the sick new round of 64 banner hanging in the Hall.

I want Woodson gone too but if as you say we miraculously have a solid team with a good season, I'd hope half the fans could get behind the team even if they don't think the coach is what's best for the program. I just don't think it's realistic to hope that he makes any announcement about next season being his last no matter what before the season even starts.
They can. Unfortunately, the team I like is led by a coach I don’t like at all. The stories we’ve heard about him paint the picture of a coach that no part of me wants to support.

So why would he turn the Louisville job down? If he didn’t want to coach there, seems unlikely that he’d want to coach here either tbh.

7 minutes ago, go iu bb said:Never said. Thought that even divulging what level he played at would give away his identity. lol Very inflated sense of importance.
Well it kind of would give away his identity if he let it slip that he was drafted by the Knicks in 1980 and then played for a handful of other teams over the next decade..

3 minutes ago, iu-dl said:I'd speculate Tyme is Woodson's burner, but that would require Woody to (1) use technology (2) take a break from Wine-down-Wednesday. It's also not written in the third person so there's no way it's him.
Tyme/NGW has to be someone personally invested in Woodson’s success at IU. Who else would be that passionate at this point?
Though the Luke Brown poster was strangely unaffiliated, so anything is possible.

Our donors may have millions to burn betting on Mike Woodson, but I unfortunately do not lol.

14 minutes ago, Chris007 said:Are you serious?
Yes, well I assume he’s talking about you. He tweets about “60 year old guys working in ____ telling you they have inside info from the athletic department” and “message board guys from campus who feed Trilly info that everyone believes.” Also says that it’s “the same guys” who “cooked up” the Brad Stevens store. He has 1,900 posts so there are probably more, but that’s just from the past few days.

3 minutes ago, Chris007 said:I wanted to check Tyme out on twitter because I have never seen him before. I'm blocked. Not sure how I'm blocked from someone I've never even seen on there before. It has to be NGW. I love it Woodson is playing chess while all the other coaches are playing checkers.
He tweets about you constantly, so he probably searched for your account and blocked you.

4 minutes ago, Chris007 said:He'll do just enough in the portal to get people excited on paper for next season. It looks to me that a lot of posters have already forgotten how bad of a coach he is when you don't see it every other night.
It’d be near impossible with IU’s NIL to not land a few decent players. He’ll do well enough to keep the pumpers pumping throughout the offseason. But Mike Woodson could land Steph Curry and Klay Thompson in the portal and they’d be feeding the post for 40 minutes a night come next season.

5 minutes ago, Loaded Chicken Sandwich said:Sure. Which is why I said he should play 20. 5-0 in those games. Meaning 2-7 in the others.
Yes, if he had played the magical 20 instead of 18 against Purdue, we would have won instead of getting 20 pieced.

9 minutes ago, Loaded Chicken Sandwich said:We should care because when Leal actually plays... We win. People don't want to admit it and seem blind to it, but we won when he's able to play 20-29 minutes. It's just a fact. So far, undefeated in his career when that's the case.
You’re using a 5 game sample size during which IU played 1 tournament team (a Michigan State team that went 20-15). We didn’t exactly play a murderer’s row of opponents in those games. You’re cherry picking. Leal had games where he played 18, 17, and 16 minutes which we lost. If you expand it to conference games where he played double digit minutes, i.e., when he was in the rotation, IU went 7-7.

52 minutes ago, Geometry Hoosier said:IMO anything over an IU scholarship is paying Leal too much and shows just how desperate this staff is.
Imo the Leal money was just given to him because the donor likes him and/or his family. A gift, basically. No one in their right mind would think that another school would use their NIL to poach him.

4 minutes ago, IU Prof said:Not saying Schertz won't pan out, but his record at ISU is no where near what Oats did at Buffalo. Oats had that team in the Top 25, made three straight NCAAs (I believe), etc.
So actually… Schertz record going into tonight’s game is exactly the same as Oats’ record through 3 years at Buffalo… 64-39.

3 minutes ago, AH1971 said:I would be floored if someone from the actual staff was posting on an anonymous message board. Then again it may be par for the course with this bunch, but I highly, highly doubt Jordan Hulls is wasting his time with us common folk.
I doubt they’re on the actual staff but think there’s a very high probability they’re affiliated with someone who is on the staff.
Whoever it is has a major crush on @Chris007 from the number of times he/she tweets about him.

Sure is. He’s been right about everything so far, no? He’s connected to the staff somehow.
Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile appTwitter speculation that it’s Ya or Hulls. I’d lean toward Hulls given the age of the account. Can’t remember if they’d post during games.

Listen, for those of you who are so quick to give up and call for quits and everything, there's a reason that you guys aren't milkmen.

3 minutes ago, Chris007 said:Not sure if I should share this or not but the feedback IU is getting from the portal so far, from kids who should be a layup for IU is not going well. When a player's camp tells you that you need to change your offense and pay them a lot of money to get them it's not good.
The players aren’t dumb. We’re not the only school with money. When money is all you have to offer because you play an office straight out of 2002, it’s not going to appeal to very many kids. If you’re a talented guard do you want to come play for IU? I wouldn’t. They can get paid by someone else where they’ll be coached by a better coach, play in a fun, modern offense, and win more than they would at IU. IU only becomes appealing when the pay differential becomes big enough.
