go iu bb

Is he or is he not going to Arkansas?

He didn't get any PT at Kentucky and is now transferring? I'm so shocked.

The heads of both fan bases would explode. That would be fun to watch.

The transfer portal has changed things since then. To fire a coach in June now would be a terrible idea.

Ultimately, ADs do the hiring and firing so they get the credit or blame. Dolson extended Allen. Dolson hired Woodson. Dolson extended Woodson. CC looks like a good hire but still hasn't coached a game at IU. Dolson has made more mistakes than good decisions and they've been terrible, costly mistakes. He simply isn't a very good AD.

So Arkansas went after Tang (good coach), Beard (POS human but a good coach), then had backups of Jans (better than .700 career winning percentage and has been ok the first couple of years at Miss State) and Walker (this is a questionable choice) but then ends up with a HOF coach in Calipari. Overall, seems like he was going after winners. Compare that to Dolson: went after Stevens who was a pipedream and then had no backup plans so ended up with Woodson. If you're going to hire an old coach, I'd take Calipari over Woodson every day of the week and twice on Sunday. I don't really care for him or his system very much, but he doesn't act like an arrogant p**ck like Woodson and at least he's not stuck trying to force '90s basketball to work.

We've seen that Hunter Yurachek at Arkansas cares about their basketball team. We've seen that Dolson does not care about IU's. Time to find an AD who cares.

Who would be on UK's list of replacements? I imagine the fans will want Hurley (especially if they win tomorrow) but I don't see that happening.

Not out of the question considering the number of spots that need to be filled via transfer.

Looks like they made it private. What did it say?

What Purdue or anyone else is doing does not even factor into my wanting Woodson gone. I want IU to be consistently be a top 25 team that makes the tournament (NCAA, not the B1G) pretty much every year with a decent seed, with occasional great teams that have a legitimate chance at a NC. Woodson is definitely not the coach who can do that.

They've also done so without Duke and Kentucky levels of OAD talent. They've certainly had talent but it's more like top 50 or top 100 type talent that tends to stick around longer. It's mostly just been good coaching with one hot run with the previous HOF coach's players (similar to Mike Davis except winning the last game).

We already have that thread.

That's because slow, lackadaisical play doesn't get far in the tournament. It either gets you missing the tournament or getting blown out early.

No way they can keep hitting at that pace and they're already down. Totally agree.

Everything in the Fire Woodson thread is game to bring Woodson into, imo. Gotta keep on topic, after all. Fire Woodson.

Alabama's defense doesn't look bad for a team with supposedly really bad defense.

Painter is a good coach, Woodson is not. It doesn't matter where the players are from, Painter will still be a better coach than Woodson. Painter has a system and culture that he recruits for. Woodson just cares about stars without thought of fit.

The Hoosiers also cleaned up in the B1G awards. Burns won men's swimmer of the year. Tyler won men's diver of the year. Looze won both men's and women's swimming coach of the year. Johansen won men's diving coach of the year. https://swimswam.com/indiana-dominates-big-ten-swimming-diving-awards-for-second-straight-year/

This guy doesn't think Musselman will do well at USC. https://www.si.com/college/arkansas/musselman-razorbacks-basketball-usc-regret

This release says it's his 2nd in a row for the men, but 3rd in a row overall. IU diving has been killing it. https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2024/4/1/mens-swimming-and-diving-indiana-divings-johansen-tyler-rewarded-for-national-excellence

NGW still reads the board and posts his responses on twitter. It's kind of funny, kind of sad.

Cupps. He's a returning starter so he'll scare off all the other PG who want to start.

It's no wonder, he's missing most of the grill so he's dropping everything directly into the fire.
