At this point this would be my email to Scott Dolson: To Mr. Scott Dolson, Will Mike Woodson for sure be the coach at Indiana University next year? Circle one: 1. Yes 2. No 3. Heck no, and I’m surprised you even gave me option #1

Surely Dolson is aware that the display by Mike Woodson’s team last night against a sputtering team like Wisconsin shouldn’t be anywhere near what “Indiana basketball at its best” should look like.

I really hope this ends up being the case, and if it is, it would make a ton of sense, especially knowing how they’ve played recently and then all of a sudden we get a game like last night

Yep this is exactly what gives me hope that a change will be made, because it seems to completely relate to how our basketball program is going as well.

Don’t get me wrong, Ware is a fantastic player and I’m happy he had the game that he did, but him having a lightning in a bottle type of perform just enables Woodson to stroke his own ego about saying his playing style works…like I said earlier, if he doesn’t have a Ware, or a JHS, or a TJD having games like that then he’s screwed.

The way he’s been lately with his comments, stubbornness, lack of awareness, attitude, ego, etc etc etc, has gotten me to the point of wanting him gone more so than I did Archie, and that’s crazy, especially considering he’s “one of our own”.

I really hope the administration/Dolson can see past the nonsense Woodson has been spewing lately to try to save his job. He’s really starting to backpedal and contradict himself. I’m glad for the players that they played hard and won (especially knowing it was against Wisconsin), but Woodson patting himself on the back saying that was Indiana basketball at its best is ridiculous. His comments from last night were basically “see, we played my way by going through our big, and X was available, and we won because of it.”….no. Ware saved your slim 4 point win by having a JHS at Purdue type of game. Good college basketball coaches don’t have to rely on the JHSs and Wares of the world to go off to convincingly win a dang game.

Yikes. A game that Ware went off and we happened to play against a sinking Wisconsin team. It takes our best player to have a super human performance for a Mike Woodson team to win (and we squeezed it out by 4 points even after the excellent game Ware had). I don’t want to be what I saw tonight as “Indiana basketball at its best.” My fear of him getting 8 centers in the portal is coming to life lol

I’m really hoping Dolson’s plan makes tonight’s game meaningless.

Yeah maybe fire alarm and once they confirm no fire anywhere then play on?

Wisconsin was making their comeback so Quinn pulled the alarm

I doubt this is the case, but wouldn’t it be neat if the team as been told that Woodson is going to “retire” after the season so they’re all coming together as a group to try to send things off on a high note, which is why they’re playing like they are tonight? (fingers crossed ha)

Wisconsin is the perfect type of team that will get under X’s skin for another flagrant. They seem to love pushing people’s buttons and make it a point to try to use to their advantage.

At this point are you 100% sure we are done with Woodson after THIS season and now it’s just a matter of waiting to see who they officially get to replace him?

This is 100% happening in regards to the end of THIS season, correct? Like even if we have to end up going with option D who we know will take the job, it’s going to be for when this season is finished and we know Woodson is gone?

I would be thrilled with Pearl for 5-7 years to get us consistently winning, while Dusty May uses those 5-7 years at another major school proving himself and ready to come to IU whenever Pearl decides to hang it up.

Well where’s the meeting? I’ll go too and you can pass me a note, then everyone can blame me for not being able to keep my mouth shut haha

I’m seeing that there’s people/fans on the Auburn side who are getting smoke about Pearl possibly leaving. Not just a matter of them seeing it from our side. Some say it’s BS, some say fine let’s let him walk, and others say they need to make sure they take care of him so that they don’t lose him. I guess he is really wanting/wishing he had a new basketball only practice facility because they share what they have now with other sports at the school. He also wants to make sure his son will be the next guy in line there when/if he does end up being gone. Someone who seems to be their “in the know” guy mentioned signing a different apparel company and getting a new practice facility would be the two big things Auburn could do to get him to stay if he wants to leave, and that it’s not Pearl’s style to be trying to get his name floating to other schools just to get a pay bump. Also wanted to add that one of their boards started a thread called “Would CBP leave Auburn?”, and their insider guy responded simply “Yes, but only for IU.”

If we’re hearing this for sure about the players wanting to leave if Woodson is brought back then it makes me really curious to see how they act/play the rest of these games. I mean we kinda thought they had given up already anyways, but now with this latest stuff reaching the surface, it’s like dang, the rest of these games could be uglier than we think in more ways than one.

That’s my wishful thinking. That way we can root like heck for the players to win out and it won’t mean it gives Woodson a chance to come back haha

9 Power Fowards/Centers would look really weird..
