Not sure how shooting him into orbit helps but I’ll try anything once!

I tell you what though. If there happens to be some sort of academic issues with this team, we fire Woodson for cause. Zero excuse. I highly doubt any of these players are double majoring in chemical engineering and computer science. It’s all “sports management” and “jazz appreciation studies”. I love jazz and sports but ain’t none of these guys having to put in 80 hours studying.

Wait you guys are getting votes?

We could rehire Adam Howard as interim just as a final stick in the eye to the current regime.

I’m pretty sure the under 8 timeout has like 20 red flags so he’s in good company… but seriously I do not envy Scott Dolson in the slightest. But since he found Cignetti who resurrected Lazarus (IU Football) he’s earned my trust. As long as he doesn’t rehire Sampson.

Unpopular opinion—I’d rehire Coach Crean if he could fix roughly 3 things. 1) set schedule/normality in routine 2) warmer personality/less difficult to work with administratively 3) less awkward/more successful high school relationships and recruiting. I’d accept some of the ups and downs and I think those steps above would resolve some of those issues. How many of us miss watching a team that could shoot?

Yes but that’s called kidnapping and extortion.

Implicit bias much?

Sorry but it’s Tyme. Checks all the boxes. “One of our own”

Woulda been interesting if they came and said “oh we know they’re not booing us—just Mike Woodson”. A guy can dream, can’t he?

True. Absolutely. But in his defense he was asked “what do you say to the fans”. Context matters a bit here. I dunno.

Sure. I think that Goode does own it. He was directly asked about the fans. He can only say “yeah we’re a flaming turdpile” so many ways. On the other hand CMW is skewered for saying “I gotta get them over the hump” “it’s on me” repeatedly. It’s just so hollow. Im NOT defending CMW. Not gonna happen. But Goode is still a child. Yes he’s paid. Yes he’s a senior. But they’re still young players. I can’t in good conscience expect the poor guy to come out and say damn I wish I had a real coach.

Look I know this isn’t the place for this but what else do you want Goode to say? It’s a life lesson in attitude to decide to be resilient. They have to think they’re gonna cook eventually despite no signs for a positive future.

Biggest back to back losses? Anyone?

That Carlyle report isn’t saying about the game. It’s a non-sequitur about him generally.
