It's 10x harder this November than it was last November once you factor in Battle for Atlantis. South Carolina was a tournament team last year and UNC-Greensboro is no slouch.

His model doesn't change, it certainly doesn't factor in a "coaching" aspect. It's likely the product of rosters finalizing ie players withdrawing from the draft, late portal additions, etc

Torvik's model is not only based on returning production but also heavily weighs efficiency. Let's be honest, Rice, Carlyle, and Mgbako weren't the most efficient players last year, most freshman aren't.

Committed to Indiana

Announcing his commitment today at 1pm. Supposedly choosing between IU, Purdue, and West Virginia. Did visit Oklahoma recently as well.

That’s your opinion. I’m willing to see how this year plays out with a top 10 roster.

Didn’t call you any names. But your post was garbage and as a proclaimed Knicks fan, you of all people should know that management, not Woodson, was the problem. Mills/Jackson had what, 6 coaches in 8 years? But yeah, “WOoDY’S ENtITlEd”

Just felt compelled to respond to your BS because there are actually people that dense on here who will read whatever that drivel is you wrote and believe it.

As a NYK fan, you should know the only reason he was fired was because Steve Mills was so bad at his job that they had to bring in Phil Jackson. And Phil Jackson cleaned house within a week which lead to Derek Fisher being hired where he subsequently won 17 games and didn’t even make it to the ASG in year two. The Mills/Jackson era is one of the worst in franchise history. The Knicks went downhill the second they demoted Grunwald after a season in which Woodson won 54 games, a total that hasn’t been bested since. But yeah, preach about Woodson and entitlement lol. Woodson was the least of the Knicks problems.

It doesn’t matter. They were openly bashing the program, regardless if they were right or not in their assessment. This isn’t hard people.

He didn’t lose a large portion of the fan base, he lost a very loud minority. Most level-headed people aren’t happy with the way last season played out, but understand losing a program great in TJD and an additional 1st rd pick was likely going to lead to some regression, and firing somebody after a single bad season wasn’t going to happen. Places like this represent a fraction of the actual fan base. I read BTownBanners, Rivals, Inside The Hall, and HSN and this place by far is the most insecure when it comes to Woodson. Woodson is absolutely in a prove it year, but way too many people bought into the false hype and rumors perpetuated by some of the bigger name voices who cover Indiana basketball.

Exactly. They’re “fans” and not professionals. “Fans” don’t get the kind of access those two got. They can still be “fans” with a podcast just like you or I, that hasn’t been taken away.

Nobody took their podcast away, they are allowed to continue to do what they do. But these two squandered a golden goose because they couldn’t help themselves.

This isn’t normal behavior or something that should be tolerated. Never heard of these guys before I saw this and wish I’d never had. Clowns. https://x.com/unnecroughness/status/1440057301587562500?s=46&t=w6QCfPv_ohX9q670DTqgcA

You're delusional if you think any coach in America would continue to give access to a bunch of unaffiliated amateurs who talk s*** about the program they run. I mean JFC. Go air public crap about your biggest client in your professional line of work and let me know what that relationship looks like the following day.

Heard this about two weeks ago from somebody I really trusted but shocked it was this tight lipped. Honestly don’t know what to make of it. He’s already put out a top 5 so him transferring fishing for better options doesn’t seem like it’s on the table.

Yes. This was a calculated hit. This conversation happened in early April, they released nearly 10 podcasts between that time and now. Hell, they had Scott Dolson on a podcast AFTER the meeting took place. Two self-absorbing DBags looking to make it all about them one more time before (hopefully) going quietly in the night.

Cool. Feel free not to go out of your way and respond the next time. Next time I want some bad insider info I'll peep you.

So Mike Woodson is the first coach in the history of college basketball to give a standoff(ish) answer regarding in-game strategy in a press-conference after a loss? And that makes him "openly hostile"? Congratulations Mike, you've joined an elite club along with 361 other D1 college basketball coaches who have answered a question in similar fashion. Good lord you guys are Charmin soft.

Name one coach in the history of the game that has discussed an incoming or prospective recruit IN A POST GAME PRESSER? You guys are so paranoid that I'm actually starting to feel sorry for you.

BS, it was directly from this: "I'm not going to discuss it," Woodson interjected before the reporter could finish their question. "I shouldn't have to sit here in front of you guys and discuss my job. No comment." That wasn't the end of it, though. Two questions later, when asked if he felt the support of IU's administration, Woodson doubled-down in his response. "I'm not discussing with you guys my job. I shouldn't have to do that," Woodson said. "I feel good in my skin in terms of my job." https://247sports.com/college/indiana/article/mike-woodson-says-he-wont-answer-questions-about-recruiting-or-his-job-228312338/

Lol. Refusing to comment on your job status during a press conference after a game while currently employed does not make one "openly hostile". He's under ZERO obligation, from any media member or fan, to comment on his employment. Nice try though.

Openly hostile lol

Behind closed doors, I think you'd be shocked to find out how many coaches are arrogant and egotistical pricks. Most competitive people are.

It will quickly pivot to "well he had a $6 million dollar roster" Face it, the majority of the Fire Woodson Brigade fell for the idea that he was getting fired at the end of the year and replaced with Bruce Pearl (who admittedly would have been an upgrade) and can't let it go. Mob mentality will always rule.
