I've never pretended to be a self-important person. That's the difference.

The dedication to keeping the Steven's dream alive is admirable. But you aren't actually serious.

Trolling? No. But I needed the laugh. When people say this fan base is delusional, those are the types of posts that get referenced.

lol

Nobody seems to be mentioning Will Wade or Chris Mack. Former P5 guys with success who are re-inventing themselves after being put in timeout. Those are actual realistic candidates who would seriously consider IU if offered.

Why are so many of these self-described "important" people such babies?

Mike Woodson could “resign” tomorrow and would still coach until IU plays its last game. If you were expecting the administration to forcefully remove Woodson from the sideline before the season ended, well I’m sorry that you fell for the “bits and nuggets”. There’s literally no prior precedent at IU for firing a coach in the middle of the season for meddling performance. #Facts

Something about paying for bad information that I simply can read elsewhere for free…

Mike Davis literally coached out the end of the season. What are you talking about?

And Chris doesn’t belittle or act condescending to those who don’t take everything he says at face value? Again, it’s a two-way street.

Galloway going to Purdue for his 6th year?

Definitely a two-way street. I feel you though.

Doubtful. He wouldn’t have the room to himself.

You made the ridiculous assertion, not me or anybody else. Only one coach has been relieved mid-season (Sampson) and it had nothing to do with performance. The last 3 underperforming coaches all got to finish the season and Knight’s firing before the season also had nothing to do with performance. Not sure why you would think it’d be any different for Woodson who isn’t facing a for-cause termination. Acting like there’s a prior precedent for firing an underperforming coach in the middle of the season is an outlandish take. It’s literally never happened at IU before lol.

Optics and past indicators…

The portal window to open perhaps? Would be the most logical guess.

You are welcome sir Tucker will be in the portal within 48 hours of the season effing by the way.

Should be at the new coach's discretion and his discretion only. Sounds like Tucker and his crew already have one foot out of the door anyway.

Sampson was given the option to resign in exchange that he wouldn't later sue the university and Davis was given the option to resign cordially or be fired at the end of the season...the same option that likely exists for Woodson. Knight and Sampson were fired/forced to resign due extenuating circumstances while Davis, Crean, and Archie were allowed to coach until the end of the season. Not sure why you'd think it'd be any different for Woodson unless extenuating circumstances permit otherwise.... which obviously don't exist. Losing a bunch of games isn't a for-cause termination like violating a zero tolerance policy or committing several level 1 NCAA violations. Pretty straightforward.

Archie had a losing record his last year....

One was fired for violating a zero tolerance policy. One resigned and coached out the end of the season while the other resigned amidst level 1 infractions. Which leaves Archie and Crean who were both fired at the end of the season. Woodson, who hasn't violated a zero tolerance policy nor been charged with level 1 infractions, is going to coach out the remainder of the season until he is inevitably fired. Seems pretty par for the course.

Lol if you think Bruce Pearl was being jerked around by IU last year. The only way you seriously believe that is if you believe everything you read on this board....which proves my point. If anything, Bruce Pearl was jerking Auburn around (at the expense of IU) to pander for the new basketball practice facility that he's asked for now for the last several years.

She may be antagonizing but I don’t believe she’s actually wrong. There are two or three handles on here who the majority take their word as gospel and they’ve invented this narrative that Mike Woodson is coaching on a game to game basis. It doesn’t appear that is the case. It deserves to be called out.

My interpretation is that she’s laughing at guys like @Chris007 and @ap2345 who have this board thinking Mike Woodson is coaching on some game to game basis. She’s ending all speculation to that.

Of course not, which means there’s no contractual reason to fire Woodson today.
