Yikes

Mike Epps was in the building tonight. Woodson had to hurry out to get to the postgame party.

50 year basketball career and it’s gonna end with his school’s fanbase hating him.

You’d think #13 cut him in line at KOK by that reaction.

Team has totally unraveled. Idk what even possessed Ballo there.

I almost feel bad for Mike Woodson… Almost. IMG_1583.webp

For real. My expectations for Mike Woodson were low, but holy hell I didn’t think even he could screw this team up this bad. On paper it should easily be a tournament team.

Man those boos after the buzzer were loud.

If Woodson cares about salvaging his IU legacy, he should announce his end of season retirement after this game. It’d allow the fanbase to rally around him and celebrate his IU career.

100%. They wasted an entire season, and donors wasted $6 million, to get Woodson his precious 4th season.

Although games like this are necessary to accomplish the #FireMikeWoodson endgame, watching an IU team get worked like this at home brings no joy. It’s disgraceful.

One of their worst takes (of which there are many) is that the players are feeling so much pressure from the fanbase and are being crushed by it. I’m sorry, but idk many low stress jobs that pay $500k or more. High-level D1 basketball isn’t the place you go if you want a pressure free environment.

Whoever it is, they’re tweeting right now. It’s 3:30 a.m. in Japan. Doesn’t necessarily eliminate him, but that would be serious dedication to hating on the fanbase.

Claims to be a former player, and also said that giving his hometown would give away who he is, so take that for what it’s worth internet sleuths.

That’s the beauty of the cupcake. Schedule a bunch of nobodies and your record still looks pretty good in mid-January. Unfortunately for Woodson, there aren’t anymore Chattanoogas or Winthrops on the schedule to squeak out 9 point wins against.

The current administration gave us Mike Woodson. Let’s not give them any ideas…

I don’t disagree, just food for thought. NBA head coach is probably a better lifestyle than college head coach, and he already stepped down from the nba job.

I would almost take Dusty over Brad. Brad hasn’t coached college basketball in 12 years and hasn’t coached at all in four years. Does he really have the fire this job needs?

Is the King holding court in a pole barn?

There’s no point in firing him mid season. The season was a lost cause when they decided to bring him back. There’s no benefit to trying to salvage it now. Just let Woodson end the season with a whimper in a couple months and completely clean house.

Fife has the holy trinity of job qualifications for the iubb head coaching job: (1) losing record as head coach; (2) multiple seasons out of coaching entirely; and (3) IU grad. Have to think he’s near the top of the shortlist.

I legitimately think that Cignetti can win a national championship in football. Maybe that’s stupid of me to think, but he just went 11-2 and made the playoff with loose couch cushion money for NIL. Give him a top payroll and the sky’s the limit. Putting NIL toward our basketball program is a waste of money until proven otherwise. The Simon’s lighting $6 million on fire would’ve been as useful this year as giving it to Mike Woodson.

We should dedicate 100% of NIL toward Coach Cig. We have a really good opportunity to do some major things in the most important/profitable college sport. Now’s the time to cash in and take advantage of that. Give him everything.

lol. So, I make sure to keep my criticism to the one thread for it, but that’s a problem too?

Yeah, because covid canceled the NCAA tournament in 2020 when IU was 20-12 and 9-11 in the conference, very comparable to the 20-13, 9-11 IU was in Woodson’s first season before the tournament. Woodson delivers marginally better results with enormous advantages no other IU coach had. Build the statue.
