This is the difference between the NBA and college basketball. In the NBA, players missing shots is a valid excuse because all of the players are ridiculously good and very little coaching is required. That **** doesn’t fly in college basketball. Woody expects everyone to play like they are in the NBA, which is why we keep getting the same lame-@$$ answers after games. He honestly doesn’t understand that it is different in college and players actually need to be coached. This is why you don’t hire someone with zero college coaching experience to coach your team the same way that you don’t bring a knife to a gunfight.

I totally understand what you are saying, but let’s not throw out the baby with the bathwater. This isn’t a talent issue it is a coaching issue. There is a big difference between being ready to catch and shoot on a kick-out and looking to pass first. That is on the coach, not the players.

Let’s not be hyperbolic. Mike Woodson has said a lot of incredibly stupid $hit for many years. Ken Burns might be dead before he can put that documentary together.

I vomited in my mouth when I thought about the fact that he makes $4.3M a year. Let me summarize tomorrow’s show for you. Hump, X is hurt, new guys, hump, hump, Reneau, gotta play better, hump, X is hurt. Mike Woodson thinks Mike Woodson is the greatest Mike Woodson ever.

Another quote from Woody’s introductory press conference. ”And that word “accountability” is so important when you look at players and you talk about coaching. I’m going to meet with each player individually today and see where their heart and mind are and talk about moving this program in the right direction, and that’s getting it back on top. ”

Why can’t we play this hard for the whole game?

Hope is a four letter word. I will reserve my thoughts for other four letter words

Northwestern hasn’t won 3 games in a row at Indiana since 1916? Did I hear that correctly?

I am looking at the schedule and the only game that seems somewhat winnable is the next one. I can’t believe that we are actually going to bring Woody back after this ******* clown orgy of a season, but we will.

The sad thing is that the quote I previously posted was about Thad Matta.

^^^^^this! Where are the adults to rein in this shitshow?

Call timeouts or have momentum?

I wish. Unfortunately, I don’t think it is going to happen. Unless Woody decides to resign, I think we are going to have to hold our noses and suffer through another season.

Fans are booing

Is there such a thing as a negative tax deduction? Ask your accountant, because this may qualify.

Would it make you feel better to know that the man who refers to himself in the third-person also said this: “My ego has always been intact in terms of being able to accept great basketball minds and what they are thinking. I think that’s healthy from a coaching standpoint and I think it can’t do anything but help me as I move up the road and try to build this basketball team.”

This is a direct quote from Mike Woodson’s introductory press conference. “The three-ball has changed the game, there’s no doubt about that. We have got to recruit players that can shoot the ball and pass and dribble be able to make plays for one another.”

What in the actual ****? Somebody please explain to me how that is a foul on Sparks. Please use small words, I am not terribly bright.

I think Ohio State should hire Chris Jent immediately. In fact, I think every college basketball team should hire a former alum with no college coaching experience, except for IU. We should hire Pearl, and laugh at all the other teams repeating our mistake.

I have everyone on mute. I thought this was just a crazy blog I created when I was on mescaline. What is happening right now? I had this crazy nightmare that we are bringing Woody back. Someone please talk me down.

Can we start a GoFundMe? I can put together a video of long-suffering IU fans over Sarah McLachlan singing Angel. We can probably get her to do a Cameo voiceover saying something like, "For the price of a cup of coffee you can rescue these unfortunate souls from unimaginable circumstances. Won't you contribute today to save these victims from their unbearable suffering?" We can work on the script. Who is with me?

That thread was started on 1/4/2014 and was 1,065 pages long. If we have to wait 3 years from the start of this thread to IU firing Woodson, the length of this thread will make The Infinite Jest look like See Spot Run.

I fixed it for you.

I forgot, you have a monopoly on knowledge and you can see into the future. If you are going to be a hypocrite can you at least stop whining about how everyone else is being hypocritical and stating opinions as facts.

So you call out other people for stating things as fact that are actually opinions, then you go and do the exact thing that upsets you so much? "Woody is not leaving" sounds pretty declarative to me, when in actuality you don't know if he is leaving any more than any other person on this message board. And let's not forget that you are doing all of this in a thread entitled "Fire Coach Woodson", and then you are surprised when people disagree with you.
