The difference is that Alabama has a competent coaching staff.

This is why a lot of us didn't want an IU guy hired in the first place. The only way it's a win is if he wins a lot and there just aren't any ex-players who are good coaches. The best is probably Alford and he is only good at the mid-major level plus he has the Pierce baggage. So the most likely scenario was always the one that we're seeing now. Ex-player comes in and doesn't do well. Fans get angry and turn on him but the school doesn't fire him because he's an ex-player so has friends in high places.

Gunn entering in 3..... 2.... 1....

You probably expected off season coaching to help his development.

Plus, Galloway and Leal are coming back which will scare off good guards. If Cupps returns, we have no chance of landing a guard. /s

IIRC, the school is required to enter a player's name in the transfer portal within a certain amount of time of that player requesting it. I think 48 hours. So I don't think that the school can really control when it happens other than delaying for the maximum amount of time allowed.

We should fire Dolson but that's another thread. Dolson should fire Woodson soon but won't

Huh? It's not your money they're being paid with. Other people think it's a worthwhile use of their money.

I don't know if anyone has said this today. Just in case: Fire Mike Woodson!

Maybe they meant that he likes to play tic-tac-toe against himself during game planning meetings.

He has a system, it's just an archaic one. He tries to force players into that system regardless of fit. That's the problem. You're right that he just wants the highest rated players and doesn't care about fit.

Not having 2 bigs inside on offense? What is this insanity?

I'm willing to let the rich donors pay that much money to get him. Worth it to me.

I never saw Mike Woodson the player so I have only seen Mike Woodson the coach. I have to say, I don't like him at all. I don't care what he did as a player, the guy I see is selfish and arrogant. The longer he's here, the more I dislike him. Fire Mike Woodson.

It probably doesn't change anything. Bummer.

I'm not sure why you'd do it at that time. The incoming coach would be seriously handicapped and some coaches who might otherwise be interested might not want that first year. They pretty much need to decide soon or wait, imo.

Nah.

Already have that thread started. :)

All this talk about May and FAU is great, but first things first: Fire Woodson.

There's always next year. I'm rooting for him to get them all.

The difference is they use that to get good outside shots. IU throws the ball inside and it stays there. Auburn shoots 7.4 more 3-pointers per game than IU and hits them at a higher percentage. They also have 2.7 more assists per game.

The players needed the rest. Losing 14 games by an average of almost 15 points is exhausting. They need to get ready to lose even more games by a larger margin next year.

Woodson is the opposite of Cignetti, though. He only cares about recruit rankings and can't win without superior talent.

Michigan State is in. How disappointing.

Which seed is it that Painter needs to lose to to collect the whole set? A 12 seed?
