I basically think she is more or less saying "every coach at IU is going to get their 4, and people really like Woody, so why would you ever think he wouldn't?" Like... that seems to be her POV, all the corporate jargon/speaking in circles is just window dressing. But hey, she works in the administration so that is why it's simple for her and so complex to everybody else. Just like Mike said... if you're not a "true fan," you can never really understand.

Showing the vote splits would certainly be a great way of proving that there is no validity to the notion, to reasonably minded people. Don't you think we're reasonable Cathy

That is quite the tap dance Cathy! :) As for your last sentence... okay thank you for sharing your perspective. Have a wonderful day

Don't worry, Cathy is here to take his place. She just hangs out in the Liam decommitting thread

We obviously have been having two very different conversations. You've added absolutely 0 insight aside from "consensus decision making is important" and "SEC schools have way more involvement from their BOT in football than we do in basketball" People are upset - not because they are confused - because they are bitterly disappointed. @RaceToTheTop is not asking you a question about the basketball firing/hiring process specifically. He is positing that your notion of consensus decision making at IU never having led to unilateral decision making, does in fact lead to unilateral authority by those closest to the area of their own concern: Answering the question about vote splits from the BOT would go a long way in disproving his notion. Unless the vote splits do show that, at IU, consensus decision making does in fact lead to group think - de facto, unilateral authority from the most important stakeholder closest to the area of concern (not a basketball specific question). If you're going to be condescending as hell, at least try to keep up with the actual conversation. Seems you either do not understand the dialogue or are purposefully trying to misrepresent it.

Me (way older than that) "Who is Chris Tucker? Oh that guy? Uh, cool, I guess...."

I know Mgbako came on much stronger toward the end of conference season, but when you do a side-by-side with Owen Freeman... the co-award is a bit of a head scratcher. Conspiracy theory? We call in a few favors? Lol

Hey now... the kids these days must appreciate Chris Tucker's celebrity status just as much if not more than that Drake fella...

I never understood why NGW was acting as if $6M is some mindblowingly unattainable number that other programs couldn't even dream of meeting or surpassing. It's a lot of money for sure but it's not like that makes us the Yankees with George Steinbrenner

Good point. I hope, but doubt, the administration thinks in such clear terms...

If it floats, flies, or f........

I just can't see any way that Woodson gets up there on senior night and says what he says, then doesn't coach next year. Nothing I'd like to be more wrong about.

Man I should have gone into coaching. Even if you suck you get paid more than I'll ever see! Lol

I admire your resilience and revolutionary spirit. Alas, it seems Quinn and co. have won the battle and the war this time around... "Maybe next year" - an all too familiar refrain for IU fans...

NGW had to have the account deleted as a cover up... to conceal the fact his true identity is... Kenya Hunter!

That's because it was a (very) smart question and could have blown her entire stance out of the water. She was only here to condescend and make fans to feel "less than" so we'd shut up and go back to our corner until it's time to buy tickets, merchandise, and donate again.

Very strong first post. Welcome to the board... stick around. It's not so bad here after you get used to the smell :)

See inline responses in red above. Lol I am all for having different views on the board - part of what makes it fun. Being a dramatic toddler and storming off when people disagree, then on numerous occasions announce you're leaving - only to return after not so long - is certainly one way to engage...

According to some, unless you have a recording of Trey saying as much or a verified screenshot of his texts confirming that ... there is no "proof." Sure, technically correct. But totally disregards the validity of reporting (not that Eric on Peegs is one, but Forde's interview with Knecht comes to mind).

NGW would you describe yourself as an insider? Honest question ... you talk as if you know. Are you affiliated in any way with the program (not to sound like Kathy)

Normally I'd wonder the same but Maryland is apparently hiring Queen's AAU coach as an assistant, so I think he's most likely staying put.

I saw Slajchert play at Princeton this year. Nice Ivy League player. I really, really, really hope we can do an awful lot better.

Idk why but Payne's speech gave me David Koresh vibes lol "I need everybody on the same page we sort of forgot that. I'm not going to let you blame me. I need all of Louisville with me. We sort of forgot that. I talked about its going to take time and I'm going to watch and see who jumps on and off the Titanic. We sort of forgot about that." Weird guy. Can't wait to have him get to work for us in the portal.

Honestly from what I recall that entire conversation was in a pretty hopeful context... as in everyone still acknowledging we really should pick up a guard. Some rationalizing that it's more of a "nice to have" than a "must have" Pretty silly to bring that up as if you're gonna get true fan points for it or something.
