Hopefully he will retire from Pacer broadcasts too. I don't know which position I dislike him more in!

Didn't I mention overall history???? Isn't what matters to these high school kids is recent history? Yes, IU has more money, supposed better recruits, higher expectations (unrealistic for current crappy program).Which school has easily won at every metric in the last 15 years?? Not only is that very clear, you can say it has also been done with less (recruits, money and coaching). Where do Butler's former coaches go....Celtics President and Ohio State??? IU's- UAB-fired, Texas Southern something or other, Georgia- fired, and Rhode Island-soon to be fired?? 9-6 in tournament appearances with a HUGE disparity in results. Hmmmmmm all that is real interesting going forward with what these kids are looking for today. Matta and Big East will be a combination that Butler has not had yet with probably a major upgrade in recruiting. Their conference has teams that also get past the Sweet 16 occasionally, not get pounded in conference play, then not make tournament, and then see your conference get pounded in the first 2 rounds.

That is exactly what some of these people on here deserve!!!! This crap and attitude of IU's program being above and beyond Butler is ridiculous, and I am a fan of both schools. The overall history might be, but that is it!! Currently, they are on equal ground, but they KNOW HOW to fix a mistake when they make one.

Normal kid, no thought of kicking him off. But I think some of these people want to see IU win so bad, that they overlook his actions. He is a ticking time bomb ready to explode. Several incidents that could have quickly got out of hand. Out of what I have seen, an even more aggressive instigator than Ron Artest was about 2 years before the big brawl. Between that and off-court issues it would not be crazy for a lot to think he should be gone. Even though Woodson has improved the on-court performance to an extent, this is still one big clown show!!!

2 starters looked like walk ons all season!!!

Oh yeah, I forgot all about that team that went 0-18 in the ACC and 8-24 overall. You ought to really look at stats closer if you want to bring that up. What about a team record of 17-44?? What about a lower FG% than 3pt FG%?? What about leading the team on turnovers?? The IU games have already proven that he is non-factor in ANY WAY most of time. He doesn't even have an affect on IU with turnovers or shooting a lot. He is just pointless.....Did you see that airball 3 with 4 to go in 1st half against Penn St.???? Sorry, I don't mean to ba an ***, but I can't help it.

If they started doing that, teams would easily shut him down. He is a couple levels above his head. We should be watching him play at Ball St or Ind St.(even that is ????? in my opinion) Consistency is this teams biggest problem, but you CAN NOT put yourself at a disadvantage from starting Stewart and Kopp also. You already know Phinissee is going to be a negative in at least 1 out of 3 games.The rest of this team is not good enough to over come the problems these 3 bring to the team.

Stewart at 5-10 minutes and only when other teams reserves are in game might do wonders!!!!

You CAN NOT get marginal (at best) Div. 1 players open shots if you don't have really good offensive players out there with them. They (miller/Kopp) are way out of their league. Johnson has his own problems also. If Franklin and Hunter were familiar with Johnson at all, it is no wonder they didn't stay. This team is lacking severely at PG, SG, and SF. Geronimo has been one of the brighter spots on this team, but you can't really have him out there all the time with your 2 best players out there with him. I really don't see a good combination, Miller and most definitely Stewart should move down the list a few spots.

No need to insult Rutgers....weren't they in the NCAA tourney last year and beat Purdue this year???? I made NO comments about hiring Woodson when they did, but I KNOW you don't hire a 60+year old that has never coached in college for a major rebuild of a top program that has been destroyed slowly for 24-25 years (and yes that includes the last 3-4 years of Knight!!)

OMG!!!!!!!!!! How is Stewart even in an IU uniform????? I could understand using his shooting on a team that is loaded and to help spread the floor at times. Not on this team, that has almost nothing. I can't believe no one ever talks about this. I guess because they are so obsessed with having shooting! If he is playing a lot of minutes, it needs to be somewhere like IUPUI or Evansville!!!! Unbeleivable!

Can you blame a kid for not wanting to be coached by Miller????? If that was the case, which I do not know, but that could have been very possible. Miller looked very bad from the ISU game his first season. That could go back to Crean's days too. If I was a top 100 recruit, I would have chosen somewhere else between 2013 to about a week ago.

That is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard!!! Have you not watched the way he handles himself over the last 13-14 years?? From what I remember, there was not one sign or rumor of him taking the Boston job 8 years ago. That stuff is one reason why everybody wants him so bad. The only thing I will question is if any of this is true about him wanting the job.

I am glad some other people see this too. How some of these players are rated are beyond me. There is a kid playing for Greensburg right now that would run circles around lander as far as running an offense and getting to the basket. When you have Phinisee and Durham as your guards, and you have a lot of pressure on you as a coach, you need to have a better plan than Lander.

I am just glad there is no one named Green or Smith on this team.It makes a huge difference. But to add one player to THIS team it would be Alford(even as much as I dislike him)
