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.

1 tournament win in three years and a 31-29 conference record is 100% fireable at a real basketball school. You think you’re getting a fourth year at Duke, kansas, etc. with that?

The difference having a real coach makes.

Flory Caleb Love TJD For starters

As I least we’ll always have the ‘best PSU by 2 in the BTT” banner to remember

You guys like the sneak peak Mediocre Mike gave us tonight of next season?

“I lay in bed every night just thinking about what this team could’ve been with a healthy X all year”

IU gets a bad rap on the recruiting circuit because its coach rarely shows up and can’t remember names when he does.

Howard went to an elite eight and a sweet 16. He won an outright big ten championship. Heck, last year he went 11-9 in the Big Ten, only one game worse than Woodson’s gold star of a season with TJD and JHS. Yet they’re firing him after five years because he’s clearly not the answer. Heck, Howard had more success as a player at Michigan than Woodson had at IU, yet Michigan wasn’t afraid to fire him. Unfortunately, IU won’t do the same.

Michigan, Louisville, and Ohio State all open. We’re stuck with another year (at minimum) with Mediocre Mike. WTF are we doing @QuinnB(BOT)(Perfectin76) ??

It really isn’t hard to see why Leal’s comments rubbed people the wrong way.

Sounds like he needed to chill out on the play
