Sure but to say guys are against something when that might not still be the case would be a false narrative. I get it’s all hypothetical. I just know how coaches are and how they think.

Because opinions can change… it’s a truly shocking concept.

I’ll say it very clearly. No coach is going to lose their career on that hill. Is it possible he made a mistake with a recruit early on in the NIL era. Sure it is but coaches adapt.

Coaches can be against it but coaches also know they don’t have a choice.

No clue but it’s the way things are and it’s not going away. Guys will adapt. It would also be interesting to know if he’s against NIL or the way Texas A&M is doing things. One is legal the other not so much and some fans/players don’t know the difference. Time will tell but there is zero chance a college coach would die on that hill.

The narrative that these coaches are against NIL is so stupid.

Sounds like Fife is on the verge of heading to Butler

Who he hires as assistants will be telling if this is a short term hire.

Probably found out there weren’t going to be many or any professional options.

My bad. I read it as if there was some sarcasm in there. I agree though. I do think Lewis could do very well there because they always seem to get good talent that should compete in the MAC. They just haven’t been coached well the last few years.

Maybe I should’ve said take a shot. The kid had no chance to and also wasn’t physical ready.

No reason to joke about Luke Brown.There was no way that he could’ve having to sit until the semester.

They are being selective. They don’t have a ton of roster spots and needs guys to fill certain roles that are clear upgrades.

In every situation the coach has done it to themselves. I’m hoping Woodson doesn’t go down that road.

I fully believe there were some serious exaggeration in that post Rabby put out. Was there some semi close stuff? Probably. The end of the day they didn’t agree on things and Woodson wanted to move on.

I wish he would’ve but it sounds like it was just a vacation.

I’m not just talking about Booker. I’m talking about the perception to coaches around the state. Woodson is starting to have a tendency to look lazy or like he thinks he’s above it to make appearances at HS events. There’s been at least another red flag so far in this area. If you lost the HS coaches it doesn’t end well. That’s my concern.

What’s that? I don’t care about HS basketball in the state? That’ll go over well.

Hunter wouldn’t have been there if he wasn’t. It’s been said Woodson wants him. Even if he wasn’t it’s not even about Booker imo. It’s about sending a message to the entire state.

I guess Woodson was actually on vacation in Miami to celebrate his birthday.

They won’t. IU is being very picky to this point.

Yep. He should’ve been there. Even if he doesn’t care about Booker just to send a message to all the other high school kids in the state that he’s watching. To me it seems like he’s above it.

At least he made the trip…

Matt Painter is there as well.
