    Yea. Going into Year 3 Woody got a raise a few batted an eye at that. Everyone was excited for the season and thought we had a great shot at McNeely, Boogie, and Queen. The Fire Mike Woodson thread didn't appear here until February 2024.

    Not for me. And you're missing the bigger point. Woody had very high approval into Year 3. Sorry that ruins your narrative.

    I don't count the play in. And to get into the details, he wasn't competitive in the tournament. Lost to St. Mary's by 29 and Miami by 16. Yet very high approval into Year 3. It took a total implosion in Year 3 (no recruits, ranked around #100) for the fans to go sour on Woody. And the fans were right, he was a terrible coach.

    Woody won one tourney game in two years and going into Year 3 his approval was very high.

    The constant is hiring bad coaches (Crean was the exception, he was okay/mediocre). Our fanbase is our biggest asset as a program. Almost all of the money for the program comes from the fans, and we need money to compete in CBB. There was a 2,000 page thread on firing Woody because he was one of the worst coaches in college basketball.

    Yea. I actually think WVU and the state have some endearing qualities and people rag on them too much. But, Bloomington has a lot more going for it. Especially if you're a basketball player.

    Just to lighten the mood, re: Woody, this hit my Youtube recommendations. Teague: "My Worst Coach was Woody..."

    Maybe he is just finishing his job out strong like a professional. Just a guess. But, and I get everyone thinks he is coming, watching this process it doesn’t really feel like he is coming to IU.

    Yea. Though I can rationalize he was a one year guy and I get why he went to Creighton. I would like to sign some players soon (whoever coach likes). We've got a lot of roster openings, more than most teams, Coach you gotta spend that $11M WAR CHEST. Also, I am getting a little annoyed more of our staff is not announced yet. For eff's sake IU get moving, tell the lawyers to get whatever needs done, done asap.

    Nbd if IU lets him keep his access, I bet the "King of Indiana" will rarely be back in town. He's only interested in IU/Bloomington if he's getting $3-4M/yr as the head coach or making real estate investments with his pals.

    These would be some great recruiting wins on the staff side. Fingers crossed they get announced this week.

    It’s tough with the guys like Dix who have one year to get paid big before what are likely less lucrative pro careers. Get the big payday while you can makes sense. I could see Illinois meeting his ask, they like to spend big in the portal.

    Stuhoo quoted $3.5M for bball in a post a few days ago. Not sure of his source but he seems to know his stuff. I’d guess maybe $1.5-2M for the non-rev sports and the rest to football?
