Understandable given what happened her 4 years ago…

People are just having a bit of fun, given the complete absence of any information or even credible rumors. An AD or GM running a tight ship has many advantages, but for us fans it does lead to frustration and idle speculation.

There was no confirmation on Twitter saying he was there, compared to the other 3 tournaments. Probably scouting for the Celtics

I imagine he wanted to avoid the circus and speculation his presence in Indy would have caused.

I think some people would call you not a true fan 

Rooting for the team to lose is pretty lame. So people hate Woody so much that if he some how, some way, were to make a legitimate run in the tourney fans would be annoyed because it delays the naming of a new coach? Like come on that's pretty silly. At some point you can call fandom into question if you'd rather see them lose than win because you don't like the coach or a player.

What a story that would be if IU men were March Madness 2025 Champs 

and even a bigger story if both, IU men and Ladies were 2025 March Madness Champs.

Not rooting for them to lose. After that lackluster performance in the big ten tournament—fueled by coaching —just realizing that is what will happen in the ncaa tournament as well. I’d rather not see the team embarrassed on national tv. Let’s just end this season and move forward.

I just don't agree. I'd rather see them in the tournament. Call me crazy.

Same! Chill, we’re getting a new coach. Why not watch IU make a run?

IU could get blown out, but hey, tournament appearance!

Somewhere out east, a man sips a beer at the dining room table after a late dinner. He loosens up his green necktie and tosses it aside on the table.

Across from him, his wife says: "Honey, I know it's almost St. Patrick's Day, but green just isn't your color. You'd look so much better in red."

"I think so too, Tracy. Perhaps it's time to finally put things right..."

"That sounds like a whale of an idea."

Welcome back? Have you been around lately? Love seeing some old names. Maybe you have been and I just didn’t notice

Rick Pitino is on top of the college basketball world rn yet IU is afraid to hire Will Wade lmao. This is why we can’t have nice things.

I'll be honest, even when people say they've heard stuff I still don't believe it.  I'm skeptical of everyone and everything.  

I guess I'm not really skeptical.  Instead, ill believe it when I see it. I have no doubt people hear things. I also believe they may be wrong with what they are hearing. Never will understand why people latch on to certain things and believe it as gospel.

Even the men's college basketball's savant Coach K wasn't that pure. IU needs to lose some purity this time and to be 110% serious about winning. So many of our fans still wouldn't want to touch Pitino, Beard, and Wade with a 10 feet pole, but this time IU doesn't have the luxury to screw up this hire. I'm not saying IU should hire one of them; I just want IU to seriously consider them as candidates. IMHO, these guys all had somewhat shameful past, but they all paid their prices; they were fired and suffered from nationwide humiliations. Who are we to throw stones at them?
