As Chris noted earlier, it was an elective surgery. Why not wait to have that done after you got your roster put together?

And why did we get nuked by those teams?
 
Because not only are we not as talented as those teams, we don’t have the same level of fundamentals of play that they do. That’s why Purdue can have Smith at point guard, and he be more successful than putting Cupps in the same position at IU..

So, you won’t. Fine.
While I will say comments should not turn personal, one can look at what Woodson promised when he got the job, his age, how he runs the program and constructs a roster and ABSOLUTELY say to a high level of certainty that he isn’t the answer as coach. Let’s forget about Woody’s claims of competing for national championships. - just to compete for a big 10 title he would have to pull off an absolute miracle in the transfer portal. There’s a better than 95% chance that isn’t happening. And even if he did bring in talent, the system that he has isn’t conducive to using that talent to its maximum. Sure, they will beat a lot of mid range teams. But as I demonstrated earlier against top competition, it doesn’t wash..

Calling out and supporting a statement are two different things.
You asked @Chris007, so you should as well.

So - as you asked @Chris007 - you’re going to provide the posts that support your claim? If it was 90% it ought to be easy to get those for display.

100% spot on
A very successful high school coach (who was a college assistant for years) once told me “My job is to put my players in position to succeed.” Always think about that when I hear comments like “not my job to find him shots.”
Ummm, yes it is, Woody. That’s what a coach does to get the most out of his players.

Breaking: random people on on a free message board had hot takes before the season  that turned out wrong.    Working on confirming if true 

NGW ran off Chris? That’s like the message board equivalent of IU keeping Woodson instead of hiring Pearl. 

"It wasn't my job to get Miller Kopp shots."  I would assert that freshman Jordan Hulls would have struggled under Woodson as well.  Hulls didn't develop ability to get off his own shot until year 3 and 4.  If you are a system player with a coach like Woodson, you are going to struggle.

After a good golf cart ride with a few kids and a few cold ones on this amazing day outside, I opened this app to sit back and relax. I love this place.

Unless I'm mistaken, you're not a well known (regionally) multimillionaire with powerful friends. Woodson is. I'm sure he could have had it done at a later date if he wanted.

It goes a bit deeper than “simply win”.
Right now, we’ve won 4 games in a row. Getting X back has contributed to that, sure. But it is also attributed to WHO they have played and the recent success of those teams.
Consider:
*Wisconsin: 3-7 in their last 10 games 
*Maryland: 2-8 in their last 10 games
*Minnesota: 4-6 in their last 10 games
*Michigan St: 5-5 in their last 10 games 
Don’t forget it took a fire alarm to slow the Wisconsin momentum of coming back from 15 down to tying the score. We had a 17 point lead over Michigan St that was completely erased before pulling it out. We were down 15 in the second half at Maryland before rallying to win.
There is no consistency in play. Let me say that again, THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY IN PLAY. Which is why so many on here feel the way they do. Sure, we won 4 straight, but we did it over teams playing mediocre at best.

In five games against Top 10 team from Kenpom (UCONN, Auburn, Purdue, Illinois) we have lost by an AVERAGE of 19.4 points. Those teams shot an average of 43.9%  from the field, 37.1% from outside the 3-pt arc and 75.5% from the FT line. IU averaged 42.1, 23.3, and 61.2 for those 5 games.
THIS is why people are pi$$ed. Mike Woodson promised competing for Big 10 and National Championships. He hasn’t come close to either, in large part because of style of play and recruiting. 
 
So be happy with winning. But don’t be condescending to those of us who aren’t. As I’ve shown you above, IU has done nothing during this win streak to indicate wins are sustainable against good competition.

Yep my comments were more directed at those who don’t get it.

Quite honestly, I don’t think it’s a fourth of that if more than 10.

I can't wait to battle with ya'll when we argue degrees of success versus degrees of mediocrity.

So, you won’t. Fine.
