Wow, is 63 yo Woodson a placeholder for a few years for a Matta disciple?

[Zachetology 282]

Somehow, there is less hope now than there was before the search.

Will Matta be able to recruit and coach too?

Yeah I'm out for awhile

So the NBA offense plus IU ties plus “clean hands” rules the day.

Extremely curious to see how this works. Knicks fans are sad to see him leave. They love the guy (not that that means anything).

If Muss can flame out of the NBA and find success in college maybe Woodson can.

Without breaking down their individual teams we’re talking a 43% NBA winning percentage (Muss) vs. a 46% NBA winning percentage (Woodson). 

The great news is we’ll find out about his ability to recruit IMMEDIATELY with the transfer portal.

While the farthest thing from the splash I was hoping for, I’m cautiously optimistic. 

It has worked for Muss and all his used car salesman antics. Why can’t it work for Woodson???

I kinda like knowing Matta is on staff. That oughta be a pretty good helping hand. Let’s see who else will be joining him.

Yes please 

[RaceToTheTop 30,121]

Matta as an associate AD in charge of basketball operations is a smart move.  Get someone high in the operation who knows the ins and outs.

Historically, guys with phallic-like names have worked out ok.

Woody Hayes

Woody Austin

Boner from "Growing Pains"...

Alright, maybe not him....

IU immediately fired Archie and has been waiting until the tourney is over to announce Michael Lewis is the next coach? 

This is the complete opposite of the "Brad Stevens is coming!'" theory.  Both are delusional, but on the opposite ends of the spectrum. Brad is reaching for the stars, the other is being resigned to sleep in your own vomit. 

I was wrong, it wasn't delusional Dolson is delusional. He basically hired an old Michael Lewis.  Pathetic. All the talk about "Dolson gets it" was wrong, he is a doofus that hired an old NBA asst that has with no college experience because he played at IU a long time ago. 

Meanwhile....ah forget it. I don't have the energy to even complain about this retardation.

If he is indeed the coach and is successful, don't come back

Better than a midmajor or assistant IMO. 

A guy with NO NCAA coaching or recruiting history and a mediocre NBA coaching record that would not get ANY look if he wasn't an "IU guy" is not a better choice than the field. Period. Gimme Lewis. Gimme that D-2 guy... No freaking way.

Michael Lewis over Woodson and Matta? You realize we need to recruit good players too, right?

Of course he has "clean hands"... he's never been in or around a college program since 1980. Zero relevant experience and zero confidence in him.

Did you read the part about NO recruiting experience?

You think Lewis couldn't recruit to IU? Have you EVER heard him talk? Dude is on fire about IU and what it ought to be. 

I am not a "sky is falling" kind of guy, but the freaking sky is falling in Bloomington.
