Don’t know who will end up being hired, and realize Dolson didn’t hire all, BUT seems they’ve not done bad in other sports besides men’s bb: football, soccer, women’s bb, baseball, swimming/diving, volleyball. No doubt men’s bb been terrible but willing to give Dolson benefit of doubt and a mulligan on Woodson due to possible political interference.

I can believe it!

As in ‘ it’s likely to be these two’ or ‘ IU needs to not look beyond these two’?

Have zero, zilch knowledge, but have heard of situations where an out for certain schools have been written into contracts. So maybe May has an exclusion in his. Have no idea or opinion actually.

Agree, just my point. People getting upset at IU because they think IU not being decisive and coddling Woodson . Don’t think any of this coming from IU administration. Do think as a past IUBB player of significance there shouldn’t be a public ***** slapping.

Doubtful the “ discussions” going on are about whether he’s going to retire or not. These things are a lot more complicated than just saying “ you’re fired” as he’s leaving before the normal conclusion of his contract. And who knows where the origination of the word discussion came from? More likely, it was the ‘media’s’ way of being vague and not erroneously reporting facts.

I’m retired. You just don’t announce I’m retired, there’s paperwork involved. And once you sign, you just can’t say I’ve changed my mind and go on like you didn’t.

And he shouldn’t. You might not like ( hate) Woodson as coach ( I definitely don’t) but he deserves the respect due a former great IUBB player. If he chooses to be ugly than that’s on him. Like his coach.

You mean “ former great IU employee that was let go unceremoniously and ….”. Woodson not in same universe as Knight as a COACH.

Just reference the page numbers please.

Hello fellow Cowboy fan ( +60 yrs). Also excited for the upcoming b-ball season.

I read this as meaning he’s a shooter from the state of Indiana.

Ah, I’d say he definitely was not bad, just not good. There’s a difference.

Who’s this Mason?

Get off your lawn!

OR means we’re going to lock down the state.

I saw that too but thought that meant he was paying his own way(?) and was a very encouraging sign he was interested.

Yea Chris, don’t ever be reluctant to share what you hear; I take all these tidbits as possibilities not as fact (yet) and clues as to what may be happening.

NEWS: Wisconsin guard Chucky Hepburn has entered the transfer portal, source told ESPN. Averaged 9.2 points and 3.9 assists this past season, averaged 12.2 points and shot 40.5% from 3-point range in 2022-23. Started 103 games over the past three seasons for Greg Gard.

Being presumptive on things. Being nobody has seen Newton play we so we don’t know where Newton’s place on the roster is. He’s a question mark. I do believe he was highly regarded out of HS. but coming off knee injury. We’ll have to see where HE slots in.

Believe this should read “ perceived, true or not, to be lazy”. There are probably only a select few close enough to him to “ know” if he’s lazy. Doubt they’re on this board. ( And I don’t believe he’s the right fit for IU as BB coach so not defending him)

Everybody has an off night; doubt it had any effect. And he did hit a clutch 3 near the end.

Opportunity and guarantee ARE two different things so maybe he won’t be a starter. Or maybe he will. Also, the G Leauge Unite or whatever could be considered the far end of the NBA bench so maybe he IS ok with not starting right away.

I root for IU, NOT any Individual player. When they leave IU, I don’t follow the players and really don’t care what they do. Same for the NFL OR MLB team I follow. I know the names of the players because I follow the team.
