go iu bb

I didn't believe that last year and wanted Dolson fired (I even started the thread lol). Now I've come around to believe that he might have actually wanted Woodson gone last year but was blocked. Remember that the AD's office never made any official statement of Woodson's return or even a statement of support. There was radio silence from the office. The only thing we got was a "leak" to the media that Woodson would be back. That could be viewed two ways: 1) the AD/university don't care about basketball or 2) the AD didn't support Woodson getting another year. I'm going with #2. This year is such a disaster that I don't think a lame duck Buckner has the power or credibility to keep Woodson longer. With 2 years left on the contract, it's extend or let go time. Woodson definitely hasn't earned the extension.

Serious question - Have teams ever brought someone in from the outside to be interim coach for a mid-season firing? If so, I've missed it. I always seen them give the position to an assistant coach. Don't Kenya Hunter and Yasir Rosemond both have the title of Associate Head Coach? I would think one of those two would be the default choice for interim HC.

Have you seen our assistants?

Well, that's a kick in the nuts.

Has he told you about his pet, Fluffy? Seems like an odd name name for a T-Rex to me. Also, it's time for Woodson to go.

Since @Class of '66 Old Fart rode dinosaurs, he would agree that they disappeared long before Woodson played at IU.

My mistake. I didn''t read closely enough so I thought you were talking about Woodson. I see now you were talking about Goode. In which case, I do agree with you.

Agree to disagree.

Well, they've now lost 4 of the last 5. They'll be lucky to win 1 of the next 4. We're in the middle of the January/February swoon tradition that Miller started and Woodson has continued. Seems like a good time is soon (if not now) or it won't be until after the season.

Yep. Dolson doesn't look happy and that makes me happy.

This was posted over on HSN. That expression on Dolson's face...

Home game. Only 7 turnovers. Shot 41% from 3. Shot 48% overall. Only 11 fouls all game and other team shot only 9 FT. Still found a way to lose.

Woodson's halftime adjustments are legendary. Enjoy the rest your time with the GOAT.

You lost me at Micah.

They're up against the NFL playoffs. People might watch the first half but after that viewership will drop.

That's a good point. I guess the question is what kind of tempo did his D2 teams play at? Has anyone on this site watched any of those games? Have you, @Uspshoosier?

ornery is what I think you were going for.

He had a heart attack a couple of years ago right before the tournament. I haven't heard of anything since then but with that as his history, health has to always be a concern. Edit: there is denial that he had a heart attack but he did have a sudden, unplanned surgery right before the tournament to put in two stents. I personally call BS on the denial.

People aren't considering that in a single day Woodson doubled the size of the his incoming recruiting class. What an amazing coach. We should be talking about statues instead of firing.

He's been to the round of 32. They then proceeded to get destroyed by Miami. Your point stands, though, he hasn't done enough in his 4 seasons or when they've made the tournament that firing him would look bad.

Exactly.

Especially when the "almost" is a stretch.

I'd think they make to much money to resort to High Life.

I quit drinking completely about 10 years ago so I've had to endure both Woodson and Miller sober. It's been rough.
