I thought it was Buckner who was calling the shots on hiring Woodson. Now it's donors? Anyone but Dolson, I guess.

That's what I saw too. He definitely looked like he was about to shove the fan and then you see him roll his ankle after the fan runs in to his knee.

IU kept it to a single digit loss. They've only had 3 others of those. Moral victory!

Yes. His is the last class which gets the automatic 5th year if they want it.

The OSU DQ also cost them a meet record, which IU got.

It's Indiana. It's Indiana.

I agree with the first part but not the last.

Should a bad coach really be secure? Should Woodson be secure as a bad coach just because he played at IU?

IU moves to 2nd, 23 points behind OSU. They were helped by OSU having their only winning relay disqualified, costing them 64 points. That kept IU close despite OSU having an otherwise really big day. https://swimswam.com/2024-womens-big-ten-championships-day-3-finals-live-recap/

Without an antitrust exemption, they'll keep losing cases like this. I think to convince Congress to give them that exemption, they'd have to follow the pro model with NCAA/schools and a players union negotiating a CBA that includes player contracts.

2.5 dogs so we lose by 20?

What? He has a plan and he talks about it all the time. Get to work and get them over the hump. Do you mean you actually want specifics? That's crazy talk.

Makes sense since most of the wins have been close and a lot of the losses have been blowouts.

People like winners.

IU in 3rd place after day 2, 18 points back of lead OSU. Their 400 Medley Relay got disqualified, costing them 64 points. That's rough but other than that they've done well. https://swimswam.com/2024-womens-big-ten-championships-day-2-finals-live-recap/

Some consider him to be on the hot seat so UCLA doesn't seem too keen on keeping him right now, either.

I hope that if IU is looking for a new coach this year and if May is interviewed something like this would be brought up. Talk about how big of a jump it is to the B1G, ask him would he perceives his weaknesses to be, and how he'd address those weaknesses. Hopefully, he'd have the self awareness to answer honestly with at least defensive coaching and have a real solution, like hiring an assistant that specializes in defense.

The NCAA has so many stupid rules. No wonder it's in its death throws.

It's surprising that someone calling himself "BuffKomodo" would write an article with a bad take.

I just don't understand the love he gets here. His resume doesn't support it.

Since a certain poster got hit with the ban-hammer, there hasn't been much talk about Facial Hair being the next coach. That's been quite pleasant. Thanks to whichever mod finally bounced that guy.

I'd be down with that. He's not having a good year but that is an anomaly. Took Cincy to 9 straight NCAAT and UCLA to 3 straight S16+, including that FF. Only time he hasn't had a team in the NCAAT since the '10-'11 season was the COVID year and they were 19-12, 2nd in the PAC-12 so they might have made it then. And he's 52.

And the home NW game wasn't as close as the final score. It was a blow out most of the game

That makes sense since the football hires showed the ADs IU has hired across the decades don't really know what they're looking for in a coach. They happened to get lucky with Knight but once he was gone the football hiring incompetence also became basketball hiring incompetence.
