Unfortunately I feel your right. Our only real hope is that we get Dusty May and he turns out to be a great coach. Certainly possible. But IU will never go out and hire a sure fire winner like Pearl or Drew. We're way too holy for that.

Pitino for sure. Matta wanted the job bad. Beilein as well. Cal supposedly wanted it when we fired Davis.

Good read.

Take a guess.

That was only because Herbert insisted on it. They wanted Beilein.

We have 2 problems. One we hold onto to coaches way too long. Second, our administration is extremely picky. They refuse to hire any surefire winner if that guy has even an ounce of baggage in his past. Think Bruce Pearl. If they ever hire a big name it would have to be a Brad Stevens or a Jay Wright. My chances of winning the Powerball are about as likely as that. We are just too holy as Chris once said.

And he won't have a title game run to bail him out for a few years like Davis did.

Solution: Fire Woody after the season and hire Dusty May. Woody is 66 and will not be here long no matter what. Dusty could coach another 20+ years and looks very promising. See what he can do here. It can't possibly get any worse and he could very well be the next big thing. We know what we have with Woody and it's not the answer.

Kelvin has a top 5 team yet again. The administration has no one to blame but themselves for this disaster.

We've had plenty of big time coaches we could've landed that would've made us elite again over the years... Pitino, Matta, Beilein, Pearl, Drew, etc. Our administration just doesn't care. I'm convinced they all have the Michael McRobbie attitude that athletics are a nuisance.

I sure hope Caitlin Clark doesn't come back. Indy just landed the #1 pick again.

Kansas 80 IU 72

This was a complete panic hire by Scott Dolson. Destined to fail from day 1 like virtually all of the NBA to college coaches.

AU 78 IU 68

Good thing Dickinson is out for the Kansas game. We should win that one handily.

Addition by subtraction.

Just what I heard. My dad is friends with a very big booster. Probably over 8 figures donated and he told him right when Archie was canned that Stevens was a done deal. I could certainly be wrong.

Sounded like he thought he had Stevens in the bag, got used and abused by Tracy Stevens, and then panicked and hired Woody. I don't think he ever had a backup.

Lmao.

I don't post much but honestly this could be a huge positive. Woody is old and will not be here long no matter what. Better to rip the bandaid off quickly. What if Cody had gone elsewhere and Crean was canned after year 3? We'd likely be a lot better off today.

That guy is such a fraud and attention *****.

Don't understand that. Was very mediocre at Fresno St and abysmal at UTEP. They can do a lot better.

Fair enough. And fyi, Dusty will be on Outkick tomorrow morning with Dakich.

And the only reason Woody made the tournament is because of Trayce Jackson Davis, an Archie recruit. Where are we right now if he had left after 2 years?
