God I cannot freaking stand this dude.

Am I supposed to be jumping up and down that the team played like crap the vast majority of the year and then decided to start trying once the season was over?

Gonna be a real tough out in the CBI.

That return announcement has emboldened Woodson to abandon “inside out” and instead go with “inside.”

If the game thread is any indication, Dolson/Buckner/Woody just killed the fanbase

Either would definitely make him less hated than bringing Mike freaking Woodson back for a fourth season will. Whether it was his fault or not, he’s the AD and will be the one to fall on the sword.

Yet I was the bad fan for rooting for the tank lol.

He’ll ‘forget’ to wake up from a pregame nap.

Oh yeah dude’s IU legacy is totally cooked. Half the fanbase wasn’t even alive when he played at IU. This is what he will be remembered for.

He wasn’t seriously considered because he wasn’t a serious candidate. It was incredibly arrogant of him to think he should’ve been one. And then Woody got his feelings hurt and now we’re stuck with him.

Absolute worst case scenario next year would be another mediocre season where we sneak into the tournament and get blasted in the first round. “Three tournaments in four years! Extend him!” The bar is so low that there’s no way he’d get fired in that situation.

Don’t be silly. He wore that Indiana University jersey, and that’s the only thing that matters! Nevermind the fact that he had zero college experience and refuses to perform key job responsibilities. He’s an IU guy!

And to puff his chest about being a better IU fan than everyone else.

It’s very hard to support a program whose biggest priority isn’t winning. It feels like an abusive relationship at this point. That “Bruce Pearl wanted to come but Quinn refused” news is going to hit like a ton of bricks.

@Chris007 I appreciate the information that you’ve shared here the past few weeks (and throughout your time here, of course). It allowed me to feel hope in IU basketball for a brief period of time, which hasn’t happened for many years. Now it’s back to sadness. Thanks, QB!

This administration treats tournament appearances like final four runs.

That’s great Scott, would you like a cookie?

The bridge coach is getting another year to rebuild the bridge he tore down lmfao. This fire safari was the last bit of hope I had in IU. Quinn Buckner is a clown.

IU is a clown show administration that struck gold with Bob Knight. We will never be anything more than a laughing stock going forward, just as we've been since he left. I hate I never got to see a real program.

The IU administration just gave an enormous middle figure to the fanbase. They do not give a single **** about you. They just want your money. Don’t give it to them.

Lmao absolute clown show of an organization. I am beyond livid.

Sorry, but NGW called out sick this morning, so we’ll need you to pull a double tonight.

That’s something folks are ignoring. He had zero pressure at FAU. He could take 5 years to slowly build because he had no pressure. How will he do at a school where the heat is on from day 1?

With the exception of auburn, Pearl has succeeded immediately at his other three jobs. USI - 22-7, 14-4 in conference Milwaukee - 16.13, but 11-5 in conference Tennessee - 22-8, 12-4 in conference, round of 32 With the transfer portal, NIL, and the Big Ten being pretty crappy overall , I think we could reasonably expect a season like his first season at Tennessee. And then in year twos he really takes off.

May would be better than bringing Woodson back, but I think it’s far more likely that we’d all be posting in a “Fire Dusty May” thread 3 years from now than it is that we’d be back where we want the IU program to be. Bruce Pearl would win immediately. This program needs someone who can win instantly. I have no interest in another rebuild.
