Yup. Six years with Pearl would be sure to have us in good shape... actually build a "bridge" for the next guy to come in. If May actually has an IU out clause in his FAU contract, he could probably get it added to a contract at a P5 school too. Of course, timing is always the mystery... it's certainly ripe for a change this offseason though. Can't go into offseason with a dead duck coaching staff.

I agree with all your points except this one. To my knowledge, Bruce's scandals were the 2017-2018 Adidas payments (which he only had to serve a 2 game suspension for whereas others had harsher punishments... and is now largely legal) and recording a conversation with a recruit where they admitted that Illinois gave them impermissible benefits while an assistant at Iowa. So if anything, he was trying to do the "right" thing in that situation according to the NCAA... who I have zero interest in appeasing/giving very little weight to their prior punishments which everyone knows are as phony as it gets. Pearl dabbles in the grey area that you need to compete in this day and age. I want someone who can help us compete while living up to our standards. People who have been in Bruce Pearl's orbit generally speak very highly of him as a man and his character. Still being available to his guys, even from Southern Indiana, to this day. In the world of "bad guys vs. good guys" you can find an awful lot worse bad guys than Bruce Pearl IMO.

6'11 15 year old? Damn.

Idk, could $10M in his pocket right away change his mind? I sure hope

I can't keep up with the pace of this thread lol. I know paywall content can't be posted, but re: Trilly "bomb"... can those with first hand information clarify ... is something imminent/materially changed?

I think Gallo and Cupps backcourt would have us in a similar position to this year. I do think Liam could play well pretty much in any lineup, but this lineup would lack some quickness/speed IMO. And rim protection, though Reneau has shown some more of that this year than I've expected.

I'll be taking a week off work in July whenever this puppy is finally released.

PSU 78 Indiana 66

I mean, the administration has to take notice of the empty seats and massive boos... right?

Can we set up a Cuban vs Cook MMA fight to decide between Woody and a candidate of Cuban's choosing? Lol.

It pains me to say this, but can this season just end already?... I have no spirit left in me to watch this team. I can't even fathom next year without massive changes

Ware gets so many of those kinds of goaltending calls

We make Tominaga look like Reggie Miller

The way these announcers are going on about the continuation. Damn we need a coach who can win back our national respect.

No way we can do another year of this... right... right?

But, with that approach, the cupboard is left bare for the next guy. Plus, relying on the portal to fill your entire roster leaves very little time to really evaluate and build relationships. We've seen how this year's chemistry looks... So if the roster needs to be build from scratch and we're not competitive with this staff and he's near retirement age (like it or not, it will be used as a negative on the recruiting trail)... why not hand over the reigns to the next guy and let him start with a clean slate?

Nebraska eats our lunch this year.

Stadium looks not quite full

We just don't have any good answers. Fundamentally flawed from the start... from the top, down.

I could do without watching all this PSU court storm. They can switch over now.

PSU about to pull off the upset. Don't foul 3 point shooters.

What does that have to do with Woodson coaching a terrible team and having no recruits coming in if McNeeley wants out? I don't see the point being made

Loose fit for the thread, but I think some here will find this entertaining. The 2008 St. Anthony's team was stacked and had a camera crew following it all year. If you've got 2 mins 30 seconds, this clip from the documentary "The Street Stops Here" shows the practice from the day before the state championship. This would have been the first team Bob Hurley coached to not win a state title over a 4 year period if they lost. Here is a clip of Tyshawn Taylor (they messed it up in the title) talking about it years later. Pretty funny how memorable it was for him. He also has some funny observations on Danny Hurley. Bobby Hurley has made comments that RMK reminded him a lot of his dad.

On this chart, they're in the 120s. Right now they're 118. IU 97. Ugly. No reason to believe it gets better. Rip the band aid off and salvage the legacy of these program giants. Even if they aren't ready to let go. Frankly, I believe that's the AD's job. Buckner in his role as BOT obviously Dolson can't control, but he can influence. Protect Woody from himself and preserve his place in Hoosier glory.

So because they won 40 years ago, they're allowed to guide the program into the dumpster and lose now? Sorry but your last sentence is ridiculous for an IU fan to say Scotty. This isn't the program it used to be, you got that right. Guess the younger fans are supposed to be okay with that because the old school crew deserves their day in the sun? Give me a break. And I'm saying that as someone who goes easier on Woody than most
