He still signed off on woodson and praised him at the press conference. It's still under his watch.

Jerry is a long time poster with direct connections to IU (employee?).  GP is some anonymous newcomer who hasn't established any credibility.  Make of that what you want.

In fairness to GP, he does admit that others like RTZ probably have better sources.

Day 38 of the coaching search.........

Let's hope the wait is worth it. And it's not Brad or bust for me. Just give me somebody with some potential and upside that can get our fanbase excited again.

25 years of this sh*$%.  Both the program and these posts. lol

Stevens - just not going to happen.  It would be the right time now given all the external factors (change in ownership, son in college)....but, just not going to happen so we need to stop getting our hopes up.

All the others, who knows?!  That being said, anybody that thinks BM is in any sort of the same league as any of our prior coaches not named RMK are out of their freaking mind.  Listen to the guy, read about the guy, do whatever you have to do...but this guy would be quintessential Indiana basketball.  I haven't seen a successfully executed screen in this joint for 25 years.  And this guy is talking about various angles on screens, etc. 

If you want as clean a program as you can get these days and Indiana kids playing "Indiana basketball", I am thoroughly convinced BM is about the only guy that can deliver.  And I am here for that....

All that being said, and as much as I tried playing the holier than thou card for years, that is just not the state of the game.  Kansas won a freaking national championship with Bill Self admitting on tape to paying players.  UNC was allowed to win multiple Nattys with proven academic fraud - and oh yeah, I'm sure their AD had nothing to do with getting them in this year.  So, if we just want to go with the "win baby win" approach, then just get freaking Will Wade under contract immediately.

TLDR: Stevens ain't coming, BM would be my top choice and a triple immediately and a grand slam long term, WW would kill it from the outset but would need to choke on my Indiana pride a little.

See you all in another 10 years. lol

He kerosene trolling because you guys keep responding to him.

Troll. Confirmed. You best ignore. Bye Isaac

But you have to admire his specificity. Damn. That’s the way you troll. None of this emoji crap.

Unless there is a leak to osterman or shams or someone I expect announcement to come from IU directly. Woodson gone. Stevens is here. He is currently in dolson's office just watched him walk in

Last chance.

Ban Isaac!

Well, this is either the boldest bluff I've ever heard or......

A firing you’d want to hide within the tourney starting…but hiring a new guy—if it’s one not currently coaching—you’d want to dominate the ncaam news cycle for the day

 

Yeah I get that too. I just think if it's a big name, from a PR perspective, it's less hiding at that time... and more taking over every pregame / halftime / postgame show when everyone is watching

[Hornsby]

What was Scott supposed to do in the Woodson intro press conference?  Trash the guy IU just hired?  lmao

It was on his watch. He could have refused to hire him. What's quinn going to do fire him without cause.

Public flogging for Isaac when he’s wrong… 1000 lashes… maybe tar and feather instead…

I believe IU fans are still weary, even with last year's success, due to decades of being beat down. After the 2020(?) season where IU got the screwed out of the B1G championship game, it has made me cautious to invest my time, emotions, and $ into the program out of fear of a one-hit wonder. An 8+ win season this year and I'd be willing to say the IUFB section starts filling up on here. 

I get it. Spending money to see IUFB get curb stomped isn't fun. Those days are pretty much over with this coach. Coaching matters. He ain't losing. He just doesn't do that. He's been able to keep his staff as well. 8 wins should be the expectation with this coach. Coaching matters. 

I don't want to hijack this thread y'all. If you want to talk ball head over to the football section!

Hopefully Dolson hires a coach with championship experience.

@IsaacTor is apparently a troll. Oh well. It's been a fun ride
