Serious question: What do you think Woodson taught Ware? Ware knew he had to do well to bury the idea that he wasn't a hard worker. He went to summer camps to improve. Woodson let him play the way he wanted to play, but is that really developing him?

Maybe he'll stay after the new coach/staff is announced.

His narrative wasn't working, so he decided to change the narrative. IU Football was broken too before Cig got there. There is nothing that is happening on the court that is anything more than lack of effort, motivation, planning, and tactical advantage. That is coaching.

Kind of like saying, I would like to utilize the talent effectively.

I just saw that Mike Woodson knows exactly what needs to be done to get better. He said they have to play harder and get better. Whew! Makes me feel good knowing he has such a detailed plan.

Imagine what Painter could do with this roster. And then imagine what Woodson would do with Purdue's roster.

Guard play was supposed to be much improved. 15 combined points between 4 guards is not much improved. I really don't see us winning many games with Ballo being the leading scorer. What happened to this new and improved offense he was working on all summer???

Wait, there were people ready to hand the Big Ten title to us after this haul. Now you're saying it's hodgepodge? You're acting like these things should be planned out ahead of time. Crazy talk... This is still a team that is way more talented than they are showing. They need to have direction.

The people who funded this got exactly what they paid for: high priced players and a coach who thinks he is way better than he is. And, allowing their egos and his to be higher priority than the program.

Mike Woodson's biggest enemy is Mike Woodson. Or actually, maybe Mike Woodson's ego.

I knew this thread would grow its legs again soon. This is even sooner than I expected, but that was way worse than I expected. Wow...

So, we needed to play until midnight? :)

But they don't question Mike Woodson.

They're grasping at straws. Just one more season of mediocrity on Ballard's growing mediocre resume. And for all we hear of Steichen's offensive genius, the offense sure isn't scoring many points, no matter who is at QB. What. A. Mess.

Yep, control what you can control.
