Ok so by that logic I'm delusional and never saw the handshake lines I thought I did. Got it. You're right Scott, I'm wrong. Handshake lines have never been a thing and I retract my previous statement, and I guess Google is lying to me as well. Or I just can't read.

Ok lol

Quick Google search tells me the handshake line in CBB has been a thing since the late 70's/early 80's, so before I was born. I have always remembered there being a handshake line for most, if not all games that I have watched. Soooo...

BOOOOOO! BOO I SAY! At least add me to the short list :P Mum's the word from me lol

If we can discern nothing else about Kathy, we at least know her favorite pastime is Rick rolling people on this thread. Comes in, trolls through a thinly veiled guise of "damage control lingo that us visceral knee jerk not true fans can't comprehend" and then disappearing before popping back up just to say "I told ya so". And that she's consistent with it lol

Oh you think you're slick LMFAO ok next time I'll bring a receipt!

I will say I'm not as much of a Reneau fan as I was. I can't blame his regression all on him considering the coaching staff but passing the ball is a fundamental part of the game and he simply does not do it. That's not winning basketball.

"Tell Goode to go F himself?" "What has he done in the 10 minutes he's been here other than foul 4 times?" Listened to the first few minutes and that's all I needed to hear. If I'm Goode in that situation I'm doing the exact same thing. I do not care that you're the coach and I'm a player, you're not going to make me and the team look even worse by pulling that stunt. I am redirecting you like Goode did and you can chew my a$$ for it later. Swallow your pride, eat the loss, go shake hands. For DD to be so damning of Goode for trying to keep Woodson and Ya from not only embarrassing themselves but the entire program further tells me that my initial assessment is correct in that he cares more about spiting a player than he does about showing respect, class, and grace in a loss.

I vote we never discuss DD again. More I hear the more I like Goode, and the more I dislike DD. Supporting the attempt to not shake hands just to spite Goode is absolutely classless. He would disrespect the entire building just to uphold a grudge with a player. That's pathetic.

Thread title says the game is on 1/21/25. Did @Class of '66 Old Fart lose his glasses? :P

So Woodson and Knight had an overall great relationship and DD is pushing a racial tension narrative? EW. I never really paid attention to DD and I certainly won't now. That's just nasty and foul.

Well that's all disgusting

So according to Woodson we're intentionally trying to shoot a three when we're only down by one. Math doesn't check out. Get Ballo the ball inside. Simple. Either win by one outright or Ballo goes to the line. He misses both we lose. He makes one we go to OT. He makes both we win. Instead we go for the unnecessary hero play, brick the contested fustercluck shot and lose. Make it make sense...

I feel like our situation is more along the lines of the new Nike slogan that dropped during the Olympics. "Winning isn't for everyone." The people at/around IU who have the money and control don't know how to win and they refuse to get out of the way. Their egos won't allow it.

This. We're down by one, absolutely zero need to shoot a three. Get it to Ballo inside and win by one. At worst he gets fouled, misses both his free throws and we lose that way. He makes one we go to OT. He makes both we win. I've seen SEVERAL end of game plays this season from several teams where they go for the unnecessary three at the end when they are down by one and lose when it bricks. Get it inside, get the two, and win. How hard is that to understand?

WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?!

Purdookie - 96 IU - 66

Would I be wrong in saying that would be embezzlement/fraud? If he knew something was off and forced the hire anyway just seems really shady to me.

This is one of three things. A) A Maryland fan trolling, B) A paid Woodson shill or C) A clueless "fan" who thinks they know what's going on when in reality they are blissfully unaware of the things Woodson has said to the fan base and how he has acted overall. With the "you are not Hoosier fans" part, I would guess B. As far as finding 3 wins in that list, I can only find one, the rest are up in the air. Washington is our one, Penn State, Ohio State, and UCLA are 50/50. The only reason we beat Ohio State the first time was because they missed the buzzer beater that Woodson handed to them. So it's a 50/50 there even at home because by the time we get to that game the fanbase will not be cheering and we will see a repeat of the last few minutes today. Close games completely blown by horrible decision making has been happening quite a bit(Speaking of which, I'm seeing that a lot with Dusty May too so I'm not sold on him. Getting dragged by Purdue doesn't help his case either.) If Washington somehow makes it a close game, well then we have a good chance of losing that one too. Today we should have won. Complete and utter mismanagement of time and resources cost us that one, which has been the Hallmark of Woodson's entire tenure. The team itself played with grit, heart, and conviction today, but still ultimately lost due to the decisions made by their leader when it mattered most. That sequence was baffling and inexcusable and the fact that Woodson tried to dip without shaking hands with the opposing team is also inexcusable. I know he speaks with Isiah Thomas regularly but this isn't pre 91 and shaking hands has been the norm now for 34 years. Woodson is mentally stuck in the past. His offense, his defense, and that not shaking hands business are all archaic and outdated by several decades. Dear Pam Whitten and Scott Dolson, please make the call. It's time.

"Really Mike? Really?"

Yeah I blame Woodson for that one. The team played hard.

My thoughts exactly. That was what we came up with for the final play? Yikes
