I think KathywithaC is correct that he isn’t getting fired mid season, for now. I think a lot of fans are projecting a tire fire because of the games coming up. But they aren’t losses yet. Lose the next 4-5 games and then things might change quickly. But as of now he still has a path to a tournament birth. IU won’t fire a coach on this position. Let Woodson fail on his own terms. No need to rush a firing until it’s good enough for the big boosters. Their money is needed for future recruiting for both football and basketball.

I think Dolson is playing a smart game here. Let Woody coach, let him fail on his own merits. When we lose 6 in a row, he will lose any leverage he currently has. There is still a path to the tournament, can’t fire him until that path is gone. A beat down by Purdue will get some fired up. I think we end up with 17 or 18 wins. Missing the tournament and then we move on.

I don’t care if it’s a name or not but looking at his other hires, I think he is going to value experience. That’s why I don’t have any concerns about an interim finishing the year and being retained as HC. To the previous posters concern about getting it right. That’s the concern every hire. Unless the hire is the right one, the cycle of a 3-4 year turnover will continue. That’s not unique to this cycle.

More like ran off the court imo. Don’t forget Reneau is coming back so more 2 big lineups are coming. This Maryland game is their best chance at a win over the next stretch of games until UCLA.

With this staffs inability to build a roster that actually fits together well and capable of winning, let him drink and smoke. Let the next coach do the recruiting. I do think there are some players that could be good under a different system and coach. But I expect some roster turnover this offseason.

WE ARE BACK BABY!!! Fire up the he needs to go posts. We rollin.

I smell CHAMPIONSHIP and extension.

Google him. He wins.

One game isn’t going to matter. I see a 4-8 record the rest of the way. NW, Wash, PSU, and OSU as the 4 wins. That’s not going to be good enough to save him imo. A plan is needed.

You’re right. Big Ten Title here we come. 1st round knock out of the dance. Better?

Sweet 16 here we come. Lifetime contract. Buckner is a genius and we are all wrong. We are playing checkers and Woodson is playing chess. Passing out some crow, come and get some.

Give the man an extension. Haters gonna hate.

With NIL, the entire roster can leave and give it all to Whoever the new coach is to build in his image. Won’t be a final four contender by any means but it won’t be Crean year 1 either. Then build from there through both high school and portal recruiting.

It doesn’t buy you wins but it can get you talent. Getting a quality coach over quality recruiter is even more important now. Because the talent will come for the NIL.

I’m a firm believer in people can get their lives right and deserve a 2nd chance. But that doesn’t mean taking over a historic blue blood program. Sure he wins. But so do a bunch of other coaches out there. No need to go down the Beard road imo.

Who is on the shortlist is more intriguing. Care to share?

I said it a year ago and I’ll say it again now, IU is better without Reneau. Not because Reneau is a bad player, it’s just it forces us to play a more open style. I loathe the 2 big system.

I hear that. A buddy of mine has peacock and I’ve used it for a couple of years to watch soccer. Then they got some big ten football and basketball, so I still have access to it.

To each their own. But I have no desire to spend my hard earned money on a program that is more than happy to take my money but not actually put a competitive product on the court. A program that’s more concerned about nepotism and politics than winning.

Why are people still going to games? I have been to 1 game since Crean was fired. The product on the court has been bad for almost a decade.

Rumor has it Tyme is a former player. No idea which player. But someone who likes the idea of a IU guy coaching. I wouldn’t sweat him blocking you. He got ran off this site earlier this year. I would ask him point blank questions he couldn’t answer sufficiently. Dude has a clear agenda of only an IU guy and not to win.

Wrong. It was over before it started. I’ve watched 2 games all year. Sounds like I missed another great game. IU basketball is atrocious to watch and I don’t plan on making it a priority. Just keep checking the boards to see if they made a change yet. lol.

I don’t think the coaching name matters. Just get a solid coach who coaches the modern game. Then have a GM and NIL in place to go execute the recruiting. IU will always have a baseline level of talent because of NIL. So get a great college coach.

Yeah but we don’t like the meal.

Guess I’ll be rooting for Auburn this year in the tournament. Highly doubt IU makes it after this atrocity. People wanting the Gonzaga game bc it’s a resume builder for the dance….ooof. Looks like a loss to me.
