I'd be very surprised if Cupps and Gallo's fathers who are great coaches allow their sons to endure another year of this.

No shot 90% of them have much of an idea about who he is unless they grew up around the NYC area. Most of these recruits barely remember the 2013 team. Sure hope those portal connections come through this year better than last.... not that it'll make a difference

What's one more useless position on the staff to help shift blame and do enough work so that Woody just literally has to show up when they roll the balls out. I hope like hell they pull off whatever their "strategy" is for next year... but right now... it's a lot easier to envision a scenario where Mike Woodson is missing games with knee/back problems than us competing for a B10 or national title... you know, his stated goals (that he's not willing to work toward)

You're not being dramatic, it most certainly will for at LEAST 2 or 3 years

Am I supposed to feel better because Woodson apparently isn't as atrocious as Tom friggin Allen? It's very hard to interpret this all as anything other than internal dysfunction, lack of direction, etc... frankly it looks like there is a total absence of "having a clue" among our administration. I'll definitely cheer for the team next year but I expect the same results and won't invest my time, money and energy into a program that's apparently controlled by good old boys from the glory days who want to act like a middle school posse at the expense of the program. Sure Dolson may not have generated all that smoke but somebody did. Whatever you believe happened, there is no way around the fact it's been "messy" over there. For years, but this is the latest milestone on our journey to restoring the glory of Old IU....................

I am processing my emotions, but it's no coincidence my laptop broke last night lol. Here is the thing... if IU wins, I don't really care if Woody, Pearl, Dusty is the coach... or if Stuhoo and Demo are going to be co-head coaches. I do not care as long as IU wins and holds the coach to a standard. I just don't think this decision helps put us on a path to do that sustainably. I will watch and cheer for the team but I will not give my money to the program via NIL or tickets any time soon. The stench of what all has transpired will linger in the air, for me, anyway. Since he's back regardless, I hope we win out and go to the tournament. Crush it in the portal and hang banner 6. I also hope I wake up with $100M in my bank account and this was all just a fever dream.

I am willing to do the job.

It is very disturbing after reading that, recalling all the times he has said things like "I assure you next year will get VERY ugly" and saying it would be worse than what Davis went through. Almost as if it were a threat.

If rumors are to be given any credence anymore, 3 of the actual 4 names you've penciled in supposedly won't be here next year. I hope we can keep them.

The recruiting pitch for Mgbako is hopefully already ongoing... up the NIL, make you the feature piece of the offense, and after another year of hard work... way better draft position. Hope we can sell him on it.

I'll watch, but I won't buy tickets

Was tonight... Indiana basketball at its best?

It would be a shame for him to end up in a similar position to JHS (playing in the G League, not draft order) when he could be making a big impact for us (and hopefully being paid comparably)

God knows we've got plenty of roster spots to fill.

X didn't have to be so extra about that missed pass lol. We are an atrocious passing team generally speaking

Retaining Mgbako would be a strong start to his 4th year.

Great hands Leal

Of course they're playing hard tonight. Too little too late and next year apparently unlikely to return Gallo, Reneau, or Mgbako. No Ware. It sucks that even watching IU play well right now is a bittersweet reminder of how bad of shape we are in. I just can't be optimistic when we're going to build an entire new roster in the portal. Nice to see them play hard though I suppose

Lmao dude

Go to account > ignored users

TLDR we thought there was going to be a meeting on Tuesday where more info would leak on what would happen. Seemed like QB would not interfere with Woody being removed but Pearl may not pass the BOT. Then Osterman dropped the bomb

Wasn't sure if this fits better here or the positive only thread

What else is new

It was funny but if he went up strong he would've probably gotten a whistle. What the hell is the point of being built like a brick sh*t house if you're gonna try and be a finesse finisher

Are we... managing the clock for a 2 for 1 opportunity? Nope...
