go iu bb

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.

Dolson:

Here is a current picture of Dolson:

They should both be fired. The silence from the AD is completely unacceptable.

I agree but I don't think you can blame this staff for Franklin. He never played for Woodson. There's also no reason to believe they'll put together a more well rounded group than last year or that we won't keep seeing the same things we've seen the last 3 years.

Huge mistake since it's no secret. He's only making it that much harder to field a good team next year. Maybe that's his goal. But I didn't think so for 2 reasons: 1) that would imply planning on Dolson's party which he hasn't shown an ability for 2) instead of helping him fail, the better option is to just fire Woodson Burying his head in the sand and trying to pretend there isn't a problem won't make everyone forget how bad last year was. That strategy is part of the reason I want Dolson fired, too.

That's also why Dolson needs to release a statement in support of Woodson since he's not getting fired this year. The "leaked" info that he's back does nothing to settle talks that he's a lame duck coach. Instead, we get crickets.

To be fair, the guy is a d-bag.
