Watching Michigan win and Dusty talk… not to belabor the point… but unless we get a really great coach, passing on him to retain Woodson for a 4th year will feel pretty unforgivable for a while. Personally speaking.

Yep. If you believe KathyC and the dudes from that infamous podcast, it was very petty, too. Because Archie got four years, Buckner demanded that his buddy Woodson get four years. And though the on-court results weren't completely terrible at that point (after three seasons) -- there were plenty of other indicators that Woody was not right for the job. 

Bucker and his rich friends' egos helped IU screw the pooch on that one.

You had way more of a drug culture with Tom Crean with players smoking in their dorm room, getting hit by teammates in autos, and getting arrested. Most of Sampson’s players quit going to class after their coach got canned. I believe Armon Bassett was suspended a couple games but was done internally. Who else got arrested or kicked out drugs?

No you didn’t, that’s just not accurate, and the player hit that you’re referring to? They were clowning around stupidly not doing drugs. There were players suspended for games under Sampson, but that’s not really the point— he was largely ignoring the mess within the program, you can read up on the total mess Crean inherited

Worst decision to keep Woody. This could have been IU and Dusty. But it’s just one in a long line of bad decisions that we continue making about our basketball program. That’s why hiring Brownell won’t surprise me. It’s just what we do.

Which is another good point. Some of our rivals had fake classes (or in UK…they just never went)…but as mentioned above, that team had good grades first semester. It went to crap after we self reported because in some players’ eyes… There was no point of going to class anymore - their season had just been ruined. 

I’d like to see the academic history, you have a site that shows this? Just not how I remember it

I don’t remember it that way, it took Crean some time to build the academic record back up, and it wss the blatant drug culture that turned off Cody’s older brother. I’d have to see the academic history but that’s not how I remember it and I was following the program then

And again…that was working itself out the following year. We can’t pretend to be on moral high ground when our Program has had multiple instances and arrests since and Sampson’s teams in Houston are all about winning

No. You’d have to get their transcripts. I was on campus during this time. The team had good gpa that first semester.

Where did I pretend to be on a “moral high ground?” If you’re going to quote me quote what I actually said above, e.g., I’m not some “academic hawk” and the proper role of the program’s compliance group is to work within the grey while advising the bball program not playing gotcha, etc. 

The “multiple arrests” you’re referring to are what and whom? You’re glossing over and exaggerating to try to mske it look like what the program was under Sampson continued, completely misleading, and why try to go there?
