Dangit Woodson just freakin take your money and run. Be done with this. Let the fans appreciate you for taking the high road of realizing what could be best for the program. Don’t make it about yourself.

Dang he’s REALLY not gonna wanna speak to the media postgame now. Cant image how negative he’s gonna be after that one.

It’s like he just didn’t want to face the beating he was getting so he walked away….

Woodson stood up for his players by getting tossed, better keep him

Here’s something I was wondering about. I know we had discussed Gallow and Leal maybe getting a pay raise in NIL with their Woody speech which led to some thinking it’s why they said the things they did in support of their coach. Let’s say Woody is let go, is that money they don’t get anymore and only get if he is the coach, or would they still keep the “pay raise” even if Woodson wasn’t the here anymore and they stayed?

I love it when basketball season finally approaches. Get all excited all summer about seeing what players we get, how their practices are going, schedule coming out, etc. Gets to the point where my wife gets sick of hearing about it, haha. But if Woodson indeed returns, I just will not have anything to look forward to at all, and it’s just literally sad to me. I’ll still watch and root for players because I can’t help myself, but I can’t stand not enjoying watching Indiana Basketball.

https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/trey-galloway-not-expected-to-play-in-iu-basketballs-big-ten-tournament-opener-vs-penn-state/ not sure which way it’ll go but I also saw this.

So wait, I forget and have seen it both ways from people…if you’re someone who wants Woodson gone, is it better for us to lose tonight and that makes it easier to get rid of him, or do we want them to win and go as far as they can so it can be looked at as going out on a high note before he takes off? Just want to make sure which one I’m rooting for tonight lol I don’t want to actually root for them to lose, though, but just wondering which makes the most likely sense that could increase the probability of him being gone IF Dolson is able to pull the plug after this year.

I’m hoping that Goodman posting that info about Dusty means that’s exactly what isn’t going to be happening haha.

Yep, and then Dolson could have been fine with that coming out the way it did because it’d quiet the noise of what he could trying to get done behind the scenes.

Haha, I like this wagon. Way more comfortable ride to me, if I say so myself.

It just baffles my mind that instead of spending money on getting a good coach now for the future, certain people would rather just spend money to help Woodson try to cover up his flaws as a coach by essentially buying him a team to try to make him look good. Just ridiculous and pathetic. Especially with the way Woodson acts. Get him the heck outta here.

Obviously Woodson has the huge ego, but at this point, if he knows he doesn’t have anything lined up for next year yet and completely struck out on recruits, had Liam decommit, etc…if Dolson slid him a check and said here we can make this smooth, go enjoy retirement, hopefully he’d be ok with something like that. If he’s not ok with that then hopefully Dolson says, well here take it anyway, get out, I’ve got my guy lol

I really hope Dolson isn’t afraid to step on anyone’s toes by making a change. Who gives a dang if Quinn won’t be happy about it. I’d like to think a TON of people are gonna be backing Dolson a change being made.

That’s what I’m worried about is Woodson saying everything Dolson wants to hear just to try to stick around but then when the season starts come to find he was full of it and doesn’t give a crap.

Ha right, proceed with caution. This week I like what he’s saying haha

I know a lot of people don’t like how he acts, understood, but he sure says a lot of the things most of us have been feeling on this board in this clip.

Could that whole speech and what was said by Woodson/players pi$$ off the right people enough to want to do whatever they can to move on from Woodson even though it seems him saying what he did probably means he’ll be back? I’m sure it’s wishful thinking on my part that how he’s acting gets donors to go “you know what, screw this guy, let’s get him out of here, I’ll give you this much just to make sure he goes away”, or if that wouldn’t even matter if he’s unwilling to go on his own.

Let’s say that before yesterday’s game and speech, the plan was that Woodson would not return next season. Does what Leal and Galloway said about Woodson saying they’ll only play for him and best coach in the country yada yada, have any affect on that decision? I would think not because of the whole “can’t let the prisoners run the asylum” thing, but how weird would it be to have Gallo and Leal announce they are back to “play for coach” and then he leave? So that’s what makes me think I’m sure he’ll be back…but then again, maybe it could be looked at like they were just saying their praises towards him as a coach/mentor and letting him know how much they appreciated him while he was here. Doubt it, but a way to look at it since there are still those out there that think this whole thing is a bit off.

I like that, let’s hope to God it’s that. Haha

Honestly, when he started thanking everyone and then kinda paused I started thinking “holy cow, is he gonna announce retirement?!?!” But then went on with the “true fans” stuff and ended with “I am the coach. Understand that.” I was like well crap, haha

I don’t have enough fingers to cross in hopes that is the case

Right, I’m not blaming him. Feel bad that he’s in the position he’s in and wish he was able to do something about it.

Oh I agree, especially after how the senior speech went down. Just can’t stand how he went about it. I know he will be back, just wish he wasn’t. Not that it probably matters at all since Woodson has the right people in the right places, but id be curious to know how Dolson felt about what he said about the fans and his cockiness about being back. Dude is really rubbing people the wrong way. I guess I don’t see why he couldn’t have been like “I understand people being upset, we’re upset too.”….but instead he made it sound like “shame on you for not being happy with how Mike Woodson wants to run this team. You’re supposed to be ok with everything I do because I’m Mike Woodson and what I’ve done so far is spectacular” Once he buys a bunch of TJDs and JHSs in the portal and wins a bunch of games, he’ll just puff out his chest and say he’s the best coach in the world. I’ll very obviously be glad that we are winning games and love every minute of that, but I think HE needs to be the one to “chill” on what’s he’s accomplished so far and who he thinks he is.
