    They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

    So you're no longer an IU fan? Still judgmental as hell, I see. BTW, are you one of those fans (ex-fan from what you said here, I guess) that never stepped foot on the Bloomington campus? As for this thread, this is where people can come to post displeasure with Woodson rather than doing it in all threads. He's still the coach of IU for at least another year, but that doesn't mean he's gotten any better at coaching.

    It's been a rough 27 years for IU fans. I'm kind of surprised IU is that high nationally though. Top 25 isn't too bad, I guess. https://www.insidethehall.com/2024/07/02/heres-how-every-big-ten-program-stacks-up-in-kenpom-since-1997/

    This is me when someone mentions Stevens as a possible candidate for IU:

    I can't imagine why he'd want to leave this behind. He'll be missing out.

    IU already has its alumnus coach. That isn't working out well. We don't have a Roy Williams out there, although May may become that but IU might have missed the boat on that one in favor of keeping this current disaster going another year. In general, I agree with you about absolutes like "never" but in this case I'm comfortable with it.

    Brad Stevens will never be IU's coach. If he leaves Boston, he'll end up somewhere else in the NBA.

    (2024) - SF Bryson Tucker to INDIANA

    Can he actually receive the scholarship part of that? I know there used to be some restrictions on academic scholarships for athletes. I'm not sure if those restrictions are still there or if they included scholarships that weren't through the schools.

    Remember that if you want to talk to Mike Woodson, you come to Mike Woodson. He's also apparently added that if Mike Woodson wants to talk to you, you come to Mike Woodson. So all of what you said except in the place of Mike Woodson's choosing, not LA.

    Dude. This what not an employer/employee nor a romantic relationship. It was the type of relationship where this didn't have to be handled in person, a zoom meeting would have sufficed. Again, it was a power play so that Woodson could sit there and ***** and moan at him about his hurt feelings.

    HH are NOT employees of IU or Woodson despite what Woodson and, apparently, you seem to believe. Making him come to Bloomington for this to happen was a power play Woodson used to to stroke his own ego.

    They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

    I notice you ignore the second part of the post. As to your point in this post, it is totally incorrect. That was not during a post game presser and it wasn't about a specific recruit. Here is the quote from the article you linked. But again, Woodson didn't do any of that Friday morning in a Zoom press conference. Instead, he answered with the same abruptness that mirrored his response Wednesday night to job-related questions. Reporter: "I know you guys as a program put a lot of time and effort into the recruiting. How concerned are you at this point in terms of how 2024, the class has turned out to this point?" Woodson: "I'm not going to talk about recruiting with you guys. I'm just not. Your blind defense of a bad coach makes me feel sorry for you.

    He also refused to answer questions about recruiting. It's right there in your link. That is a question about how he's doing his job, not about his job. In addition, on January 10: Q: "One of the biggest questions that fans were asking on social media, why were four starters out at the same time versus sort of rolling them through? WOODSON: "I'm not going to sit here and answer that question when it comes to the fans — or you. https://www.si.com/college/indiana/basketball/what-indiana-coach-mike-woodson-said-after-loss-at-rutgers-we-were-awful

    Those weren't questions on his job status. They were questions on his (bad) coaching decisions.

    Yes, wins are what fans care about. It's also what makes differentiates coaches so it's an attribute of a good coach.

    They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

    Actually winning isn't an attribute of a good coach? A coach could build a roster that looks good on paper through a large amount of NIL and still not win as much as he should. In fact, that is likely what IU will see next season. A good coach gets the team to play better than the sum of its parts. That isn't Woodson since none of his teams so far have even played as good as the sum of their parts. Woodson's X's and O's are from the '90s and there have been multiple embarrassing events under his "leadership."

    At least he wasn't given an extension when he received the raise for just making it into the tournament and winning 1 whole game there with TJD and JHS. If it's true that Dolson had his hands tied (which I kind of doubt), he should still have the power to not extend Woodson so we're looking at 3 or less years remaining with him as the coach.
