Yeah, right,. Now you're just making stuff up. Next you'll be telling us that your name isn't actually RaceToTheTop.

So you did. That's what I get for distracted reading and posting while distracted.

Unless you were personally told by Stevens or someone who knows, it's not a fact, it's your opinion. I think you're correct that he's likely in Boston to see his son but the fact is that it isn't a fact, it's an opinion. Let's not confuse opinion and fact. If you see Stevens in the stands during the game or can otherwise confirm that he is there, THEN it becomes a fact.

That's the Woodson Effect.

At some point you're just going to have to come to terms with the fact that Woodson will not be the coach after this year. I know denial can take time to work through. We're to help you, so I'll say that this scenario has a 0% chance of happening. Only about a month remaining before reality hits. I hope you'll be ok when that happens.

I hope it's the 8/85M if this is accurate. That's ~$1.5M/year more than the other deal plus not as long of a commitment if it somehow didn't work out. So a better deal for both sides, imo.

Indeed. Schools want the buyout for a coach leaving to be as high as possible while coaches want just the opposite. It's obvious that May/his agent worked to get it low.

It's not #2 since his buyout for getting fired is 70% of his remaining contract which comes out to something like $10.5-11M. There are 2 different buyouts.

I thought the sarcasm was obvious. I guess not. We weren't really recruiting anyone even when Woodson didn't know he was getting canned.

I'm absolutely shocked.

We all thank you for your dedication to staying in this thread.

Good call. I think "toady" is what was meant.

Seems legit. You should get right on that, make sure to click the link from in the email instead of going to the site.

The poster who does the most posting the same things over and over again mostly posts in this thread. Without it, he wouldn't stop posting the same things over and over again, he'd just do it in all the other threads. I know what to expect when I open this thread, and it isn't that there will be something new. Since this thread is mainly for venting and Woodson is the same as he ever was doing the same things, that is to be expected. I don't understand your need to tell people how to post and what they should or shouldn't post about. You've said many of the same types of things since your time on HSN, so it's not as though you're not repetitive as well except your repetition is more in concept rather than exact words.

Nice win. I didn't expect it so it was a nice surprise. I'm glad Izzo didn't get the satisfaction of passing Knight by beating IU.

I wonder if Woodson didn't recruit him hard because he saw he wasn't good or if it was his normal aversion to recruiting. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt in this one because he seemed to put even less effort than others.

That's why you two get paid the big bucks.

2 bigs lineup here we come! I'm excited for that and Izzo won't expect it.

He's spinning it like IU is the problem itself rather than the problem is that IU has hired bad coaches. He also left out that coaches would have a real chance here given the resources available now in this changing NCAA landscape.

Tool

Wasn't that a player instead of Scheyer? Filipowski, I think? I think he tried to trip and shove a fan and ended up hurt himself.

Someone already posted these numbers but now is a good chance to do so again: At a P4 schools, he's won 67.5% (179-86) overall but only 53.7% (73-63) in conference in 7 whole seasons and 2 partial seasons. Of his complete seasons: Only 1 time did he finish with less than 7 losses in conference. Only once did he finish with single digit losses. It's just not as impressive of a resume as some make it seem. They look at only those 2 really good seasons at TT which he hasn't come close to replicating.

The real reason Woodson is upset he's losing his job is that he'll now have to pay for the trips to different golf courses around the country as well as the green fees instead of doing it on IU's dime.

I've seen that Mick Cronin has a large buyout but not the numbers in discussions here though I may have missed it. His buyout is $16M until April 1. At that time, it drops again (don't know how much). This is the same if he leaves or gets fired. I don't see IU spending that kind of money for Cronin.

I thought it was open game on you and @Class of '66 Old Fart but off-limits for everyone else.
