One played in the championship game and the other never got past the sweet 16. There is more to a team than just assembling all scorers. This isn't fanatsy sports but actually trying to to assemble an actual team.

I wouldn't be surprised that a lot of players entering the portal if Woodson is brought back. The players look like they have tuned the coaches out

I think the thing is that the 2002 was put together well and Fife played his role well. We complain about this years team and the roster construction and would love to have Fife's toughness on this team.

I agree, he is happy where he is at

I use to he as well but I have changed a little in him. Since it is pay for play now it doesn't matter what he did before with the NCAA rules. The only hard no for me is Beard

So Pearl is a no for you

I just found out a couple of weeks ago that Randy Bennett is from Indiana and his mother still lives in Southport

You do realize the AD does more than basketball don't you

By hitting the quote button at the bottom of the post

Maybe Dolson needs to go on Shark Tank and try to promote a new product to get funding on. Tell them it will cost 20 mil and Cuban can back it and he wouldn't be considered a donor

Besides Purdue the big ten is really bad

Just saying if offenses would still use the open 12-15 shot and the players would work at it, that offense would still score more points than just shooting 3's and layups. Take Alabama they score a lot of points and play fast and when they are hitting 3's they look unbeatable. The problem is when they aren't hitting the 3 they really struggle to win. Also their defense is so bad this year that they can't afford to have an off night. I just like to see a variety on style if play but today everyone looks the same

This team doesn't even look like college basketball of the 80's and 90's I bet you haven't ever seen a college game from that era. It was a beautiful brand of offense with little dribbling in the half court and had player and ball movement.

Also I just don't like the style of offense that is used today I hate the ball screen and brongimg two defenders to the ball. Also I hate seeing the other 3 players standing outside waiting for the pass out. I think the 30 second clock is to short and it leads to a lot of horrible shots trying to beat the click. Tbe main thing that hurts offenses is that they wait to long to get into their offense I see to many times a guard dribbles out top until 15 is left on the clock and then get into the offense. At least with our best teams under RMK we get into the motion right away and usually shot within the first 15 second of the possession. One old game I just watched I counted the number of passes before we shot in the first half and the most was 4 passes.

I am only talking about the college game. The NBA offense today is amazing

Funny how our all time leading scorer made his living shooting those terrible shots. Alford only had the 3 one year a d is the second.leading scorer. With some of the shot blockers taking it to the basket is a lower percentage shot. Funny we lived and loved the game way before analytics and IU scored around 80 points a game. Not many teams average that much today and the offenses are horrible.

That isn't Subway Jarrett you are talking about is it LOL!

Saying that the only good shots are a 3 or a layup and taking half the court away from the game. It makes it so much easier to go hard when you know a team won't shoot in the mid range. I don't want some computer geeks telling me what you s tbe best thing since they probably never played a sport in their life. If analytics led to better offensr and more scoring I would he alright with it. The problem is that scoring and shooting are down compared to the 80's and 90's.

I know how they work and know they ruin basketball and the way it is meant to get played.

It is funny you left HSN because if the negativity and people criticizing your stance in Woodson Now you are here acting the same way and be defensive when someone questions your stance.

You responded to a post about Calbert being on Miller's staff and you didn't mention who you were talking about

2-0 since then. I have no problems coaches calling out players. I am sure they have been doing it for a while in the locker room but wasn't working.

Calbert was never on Miller's staff. This is his first year back with IU. He was here with Crean a couple of years.

Also with the way Oats teams play I wonder how that would translate to the big ten.

The more and more I hear from this football coaching staff the more confident I am that they will succeed at IU. I am not talking making the playoffs but can see us consistently winning 7-9 games a year
