AH1971

He just finished second two years ago despite being down two starters for the majority of the conference slate, sweeping the champs in the process. This years roster is 10x more complete than that.

The University of Kentucky, the most storied college basketball program in the history of the sport, just ended up with their 5th or 6th candidate after publicly being turned down multiple times because of an irrational fan base who ran off the last coach. If you think Indiana is somehow going to land a cream of the crop coach after running Woodson off in 3 years then there's zero reason to have this discussion.

Firing an alum who went to tournaments in 2/3 years after not making one since 2016 is surely the right way to attract a top of the line candidate down the road. I'm sure you knew that though.

I'm saying no program who is constantly shuffling coaches every 4-5 seasons over an extended period of time is going to have any kind of sustained success.

Going to be a long season for you brother. Deep breaths.

Miller got 4 seasons and if it were up to the large majority of this board, Woodson would have been gone after this past season. IU's had five different coaches this century, running a coach off at a rate of just under 5 seasons isn't a recipe for success. No way to ever find continuity when you're constantly turning over.

Or...and hear me out....you don't fire a coach every 2-3 seasons and actually let him try and build something. Novel concept I know.

Will know in a few years. May isn’t going to get 5-6 years though like he did it FAU. Not in this climate.

He just measured under 6'6 at the Adidas AA camp a few weeks back which I'm sure is factoring into the ranking demotion. Thought to be a 6'7-6'8 stretch 4, he's a wing without a handle.

I don't know if he's going to play much at MVA

Those are the On3 Industry (composite) rankings. Sisley just plummeted to #148 and 3* status in On3's in-house rankings. Haralson #25 and Mullins #35 https://www.on3.com/db/trent-sisley-152854/

Again, how does one substantiate that? The portal isn’t even open lol. Anything beyond that is pure speculation.

How on Earth can anyone substantiate that? The season hasn't even started and the portal isn't even open.

Joe Tipton put in a prediction for IU for Jalen Haralson. Have been told that going OTE/professional route is still a strong possibility but if he does indeed play collegiately, IU has of good of a chance as anybody.

The best was the poster who said that IU/Dolson had met with the reps for Bruce Pearl and they had a dollar figure and contract terms laid out and then 3-4 hours later it was announced that Woodson was returning. I believe it was just before tip off up in Minnesota.

Lol oh good Lord

If you or anybody else thought the last 3-4 games of the regular season was going to decide Woodson’s tenure here then I’m not sure what to tell you. Woodson wasn’t going to be fired after 3 years especially after making the tournament the previous two seasons. If you seriously thought Woodson was on the hot seat with 4 games left to go that’s on you and you were seriously duped. Rooting against your team is certainly a choice.

Wanted Tom Allen gone 2 years ago, never once rooted for IU to lose. And I attended almost 80% of the home games. Sounds like you need a new hobby if rooting for your "team" to win is such a chore.

The revolving title change is one of the better running jokes on this board...well of course other than this thread itself.

I'd be shocked if that poster had any recollection of the 2002 season, perhaps not even out of diapers at the time.

And voicing your displeasure after a bad season is one thing, hell I did it plenty, but actively rooting for the team to lose and making up nonsense rumors to the detriment of the team is another. Hope you understand the difference.

Do you dude

Not gaslighting anything. Calling it like I see it. Those who actively rooted for the team to lose and made up rumors and lies about the team quitting or transferring needed to be told to pipe down.

I have no issues with the first two seasons other than fashion in which we lost to Miami in the tournament. Have clarified that several times over now.

Perimeter defense was a much more dire concern last year than a bad 3 pt shooting not shooting more 3's. Now you're catching on.
