    Correct. It wasn't ever attributed to him until the 1980s, long after his death. It is said to have first appeared in print in the book "Sudden Death" in 1983 by civil rights activist Rita Mae Brown, although similar versions of the quote appear as early as the 19th century.

    Archie, for all his faults, didn't really throw players under the bus to the media.

    They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

    I think the posters here concerned with the perception of firing Woodson are very few and far between. I've late on the 'guy needs to be fired' train on Crean and Miller -- only guy I wanted gone early than most was Tom Allen -- but I am there with Woodson. And it has nothing to do with wins and losses. At 61-39 in three years and 30-29 in the Big Ten, while I don't think is great, by itself it's enough for me calling for him to be fired. But looking at the whole picture in terms of recruits, failure to listen, failure to recruit, failure to put in the hours expected of a college coach, failure to adapt.......that's what says to me he has to go.

    4D chess: with no 24 or 25 recruits Woody doesn’t have to worry them decommiting.

    Woody is horrible at spinning. He said “I don’t know, I haven’t sat down with him yet” when the answer SHOULD have been “I am getting to be talking to him and hope he is coming back because he is the kind of leader we need.”

    So from I am gathering now, Dakich is saying IU caught a break with ‘prep school’ McNeeley decommiting because ‘Woody can turn it into a positive’, says that woody handled his press conference today ‘perfectly’ because he ‘doesn’t owe the media anything. **** Dakich.

    Have no idea. Posted this about an hour ago. Don’t like Dakich and when tweets are just thrown out and left for interpretation, just curious. https://x.com/dandakich/status/1766190913565478944?s=20

    I will say that probably half the board said they didn’t want Love. I may not be a smart guy but wanted Love.

    Woodson on Galloway: "Gallo is just starting to come into his own," Woodson said. "I mean, it's what you expect because he's a senior. He's not a freshman or sophomore. He's a senior. I've been harping I expect that from him, I want him to do that. He's been playing extremely well here as of late." Dude can't even give a compliment without calling a player out.

    The bottom line is that his record this year isn't cause for dismissal -- it's the how and why the record is what it is, the lack of vision forward, and unwillingness to change. Making the tournament two straight years and then going 17-13 wouldn't get a coach fired IF there looked to be a future. I'm not happy about 17-13 but am livid at having no recruits and a stubborn coach who doesn't know the college game and refuses to accept responsibility and effort.

    Quinn Buckner only got one year as the head coach of the Dallas Mavericks. Because Mark Cuban is an intelligent IU grad.

    Problem is the grey hairs that donate to "one of Bobby's players" because he was....you know...one of Bobby's players.
