If you want to see the next IU coach live, in action, trek up to Ft. Wayne tomorrow night to watch the PFW Mastodons v the Green Bay Fightin’ Gottliebs!

Remember when…

Don’t know who the new coach will be or how soon he’ll be announced. What I do know is… there will be a process!

Not upset at all. And thanks for the lesson on what social media has become. Actually, feel bad for the person who has to stoop to making those kinds of comments. Almost like they have nothing intelligent to offer to the discussion, so why not say those kind of things. And, even sadder still, the person who made those comments did grow up when people cared what was polite, civil, or in good form. The poor job performance should be the only thing Woodson is judged on. All the myriad other reasons are only valid as opinion.

The same person who said there should be a special place in hell for certain members of Woodson's inner circle also called him a POS. It's easy to hide anonymously behind some user name on a message board and say things you would never say to someone face to face. In my opinion, shows the true character, or lack thereof, of the person making those comments. Much more than of the person the comments are directed towards. The other things you mention are all opinion or conjecture. Criticize away at the job performance. I agree that he needs to go based on that.

Nah, no person deserves to be called a POS or told that there’s a special place in hell for them, just because they failed at their job.

Agreed. But there is a way to criticize without calling someone a POS. There's always that concept of being the bigger/better person. There's also always the idea of not allowing this board devolve into what Big Blue Nation has become, and what many on here make fun of.

Yes, I've seen it said in here that there should be special places in hell for those involved. Seen Woodson called a POS. I stated for a while that I am in favor of Woodson being terminated. I also stated that I wouldn't be involved in any sort of character assassination. No need to go down that road, imo. Only makes the poster(s) and this forum look bad.

Steve Lavin? Fran Frischilla? Tom Crean???????

Maybe the announcement will happen today. Not holding my breath though. Wasn’t there supposed to be an announcement earlier this week about a guy entering the portal who wants to play for IU regardless of who is the coach? Never happened. Call me just a little leery about these so-called big announcements

Got pretty heated in the Fire CMW thread over Beard. This is the spot for that discussion, and as I just read this tonight, want to chime in. There were several absolutes thrown around… 1. Beard is an alcoholic. Has that been verified? Or is that based on the one public incident? 2. IU optics being what they are, no way is he hired…The Cleveland Browns signed a quarterback as the face of their franchise who had multiple incidents of abuse towards women. The stands were still full regardless. 3. We would be pilloried by the national media for hiring Beard. Maybe. Or maybe not. Tom Izzo has turned a blind eye to multiple transgressions in his program. Yet he is revered by the media. I’m not condoning what Beard did one bit. In no way is it right to harm a woman. I also believe in the idea of second chances for people who have seriously addressed their issues. A famous guy once said, “ Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast stones.” I ‘m afraid I don’t qualify.

Maybe. But Cleveland Browns’ fans didn’t turn on the team when they signed Watson.

I’m not cranky about it at all. I’m not happy with the performance of this team, but don’t really care how much they are getting paid. If it was my money, or the university’s for that matter, then it’s a different story.

Agree with you, but that wasn’t the point. It’s not our investment, so as the post I quoted suggests, “who cares?”

This thread has been full of people complaining about how much this team is getting paid. And it’s not their money

I did not use KenPom but another site. Can't remember off the top of my head which one

In a Google search of their best songs, Out of Touch is in the top 20. Could be the theme song for the Mike Woodson tenure.

Well, if it’s either Pitino… I Can’t Go For That (no can do)

How about Hall and Oates?

Been a minute since I have been in Bloomington. Is there a good Italian restaurant in town? Not sure how far the acorn has fallen from the tree.

Oregon has scored 4 points in the first 6 1/2 minutes of their game v Nebraska. Not impressed
