Sadly, a serious question Choice 1:The current group with CMW Choice 2:Coach Cignetti as HC for direction, time management and motivation with an elite group of assistants doing the X's and O's?

So by your logic, I should be ok racism, misogyny, bigotry and bullying since I have not been personally affected?

Was the capitalization of May a Freudian slip?

Did you nearly burst your appendix to avoid watching CMW further sink this program? Your level of dedication is greatly appreciated. Be well

More like a plank.

By the end of Black Friday seems more accurate.

Me too. Probably just a bunch of overpaid mercenaries that refuse to buy in however hard CMW tries. Poor guy is getting the shaft. Just a guess.

Mike Woodson at post game presser: Look fellas, just relax, the hump is getting smaller. Reporter: Uhhhh Mike, it's now just much farther away.

That's all you've heard for the last few months, really? I could swear you have spent the entirety of the last off season b#tching about people in this Fire Coach Woodson thread wanting CMW fired and suggesting that he would show us and have us untrue fans eating crow with his mercenaries dominating the B1G. Now you are blaming the merenaries you praised for lack luster wins against the Sisters of the Poor.

Agreed. And the fact that IU is/has been near the bottom in the B1G in all the modern era categories during his tenure is quite disturbing

If only there was a way for a head coach of one of the most storied programs with great facilities, great exposure, and great fans to somehow interact with the blue chip high school talent, esp those within the state that grew up in IU families, and convince them to attend his university.

FIFY. Tonight proved differently.

LTFOL. The inside out offense is offensive. StoobyHoo: Woody had no guards, who could expect him to get one in only 3 short years. Woody can't and won't recruit. StoobyHoo: Who needs recruits he can buy them through the portal with all his buddies money. The lack of fundamentals is unacceptable: StoobyHoo: What do you expect from these money hungry portal chumps. Other coaches of great P5 teams don't have the same problem: StoobyHoo:______Fill in excuse___________________

Double digit win!

I was about to look up a tasty crow recipe when we had them down 21-5 and the defense was on lockdown, then Woodrow said hold my beer.

He is the face of IU basketball. Part of the gig is being fawned over when you succeed and getting ripped when you underachieve. White knighting for a guy that is undeniably lazy and petty making 10s of millions of dollars is silly.

Best fan donation amount is $1000 True fan donation amount is $5000, a snifter of Scotch and 3 Cuban cigars and/or sitting in for CMW on 3 hrs of recruiting visits.

Forgot Mgbako or do you not count it when the mother has to call CMW and convince him to sit up in the barko lounger and recruit her son?

So CMW asks him to separate two friends, 6th year seniors, and ardent CMW backers because they enjoy each others company too much and your take away is that Howard is the problem because he didn't want to fulfill such a petty directive. Not shocking

Ah, too much camaraderie. Seen it a million times. Team togetherness can be a cancer that spreads throughout the locker room, it needs to be nipped in the bud before they all start standing up for each other. Wasting time building team unity instead of out in Dunn meadow looking for their three point shots. Makes total sense now.

Real question. Beyond just being a d1ck, what would necessitate this? Two of the players that had your back. SMH

So you are saying Dolson wanted CMW back this last off season? That QB and the mega donors didn't dictate retaining him?

yes "A" job when he already had "THE" job. And you are right he surely did know all of CMW's recruiting warts. Good on him trying for sticking it out at his dream job and trying multiple avenues to improve CMW's poor recruiting habits. Bad on CMW for rebuffing them and petulantly firing a guy that the athletic department valued so highly.

The problem is his position is unique, so there is no "somewhere else" He was an IU grad that loved the university and the basketball program, so he tried to change what he saw as an anchor to the success of the program. Just like it is silly to suggest that there is "somewhere else" for fans that want changes to the program, or that "true fans" are required to blindly root for the obviously low effort HC, suggesting a recruiter trying to improve his HC recruiting habbits, when told to bugger off, should move suck it up or just "somewhere else," when there is no emotionally equivalent position is a bit disingenuous.
