We ever get the yeagley bomb?

I saw online that Crean was asked if the fan base was toxic and his response was that "It was nothing compared to what I faced behind the scenes with the administration"... Has that been discussed on here yet? Do we have any indication what he was specifically referring to?

I was in Vegas this weekend and sat at a table with 3 IU grads of 88.. me 2013…. They aren’t message board guys but they are in lock step with everything said on these boards. IU is in some serious doo doo….

Man oh Man… it appears that Dusty had his choice of Michigan or Louisville… I said that I would be a fan wherever Dusty went, which will still be true, and I might watch some Michigan games this year. But man, this stings. Stings because this is like the 4th time this has happened as IU retained multiple coaches for too long and the candidate the fanbase wants goes elsewhere and will likely have success.

Sorry to keep bumping this, but did anyone ever explain what the Woody was a Bridge comment meant? Bridge to a specific plan or coach, what the heck was their strategy when they hired him?

Lots of wild reports for Louisville.

The board is moving so fast that I can't keep up. One point to what Jerry said... Woodson being a bridge... I assume that means the athletic department had a plan in place post Woodson. Was it shared what the initial plan was?

When’s the Jerry Bomb happening ?

I can’t share my source or provide more detail, but the differnece in discipline off the court is night and day with the basketball team compared to the football team. There are systemic issues that cannot change under Woodson

Did that Tuesday meeting ever happen?

Can anyone summarize the inside scoops post the woody returning / Liam decommitting a while back? Board added a couple hundred pages and I can’t keep up

I watched Mgbacko, pass up a wide open 3, somehow CH got a hold of the ball and took a long contested 2. No other player movement on offense happened.there is no strategy. There is no philosophy

I could pick anyone (excluding some sunshine pumpers) and they would have a better basketball track record than Fred Glass and Dolson so far. It’s not rocket science. When your fan base knows more than your coaches and admin, things get nasty.

This was very bad

A person in staff that can handle the full kinetic chain with a gait analysis would go a long way.

Galloway has been in an out of injuries for a couple of years now, he’s wearing a knee brace today, the assumption here is he needs to work on his ankles or hips. The back for him has been an issue so again it’s his ankle or hips. I’m not saying you can prevent all injuries, what I’m saying is I don’t believe they’ve identified the imbalances in his kinetic chain.

I’ve talked about athletic training being an issue at IU on this thread for a bit. Look at Galloway today. This is what I’m talking about

Posted elsewhere but: Woodson wants to buy experienced, aging, and expensive players turning IU into the Yankees. But given his 2 point guards that stylistic couldn’t be further apart, he doesn’t have a strategy on what he’s going to target to plug into his system that has yet to be defined. And in doing so, we’ll likely miss on Dusty May What have I missed?

And he has got the team clicking in March, 3 game win streak and likely great seeding and path in the BTT to make a run and make the tourney a third straight year. I fully understand that this is a tightrope and one mistake over the next 2 weeks kills hope for a tourney run. I mean a last second shot could be the difference this year, and projecting 3 years out we look like a plastic bag floating in the wind. please god if you can hear me. Have us hire Dusty May

Another note on Woody: just to be positive if in fact he’s retained…. he did go out into the portal and get like 80-90% of the production of TJD and JHS, so he could in fact do it a second year with Ware and XJ… (I’m not going to talk about him not replacing Kopps production) When Calipari first came to Kentucky he went with the groundbreaking 1 and done model. No other P5 coach I believe will be doing Woodys approach of tenured portal players who can contribute immediately. Either woody is a trailblazer, or there’s a reason he’s all alone here.

So here’s my issue with all of this: What is Mike Woodsons Offensive and Defensive Strategies? Without a clear direction and strategy, he’s going to over pay for pieces. and what are those pieces? Is he telling his staff I want a point guard that has these qualities, I think Joe Bob from Montana state fits perfect let’s get him. Or is it I’m gonna wait and see who’s the most talented and over pay.. there’s a proactive strategy with Joe Bob, and reactive with the latter. What kind of player does he want at the point? He spend how many years and resources on Gabe Cupps and XJ. Two completely stylistically different players which tells me he has no clue what player he wants to plug into his system. You could give Woodson $100 Million and it would be the same result. He has no idea how he wants his pieces to stylistically fit together. He’s going to over pay for redundant skill sets and egos will be hurt, discipline will suffer, losses will pile up.

If we hired May I think we could get the entire FAU team to come here and we’d be in great shape over night

Dusty May and FAU is so fun to watch.

But Fred Glass wrote a book on "How he rebuilt Indiana Athletics".... Are you saying that book is a lie? lol
