I feel the same.  If this hire is a flop I’m happy to just focus on football like I have for over a year now.  We have real coaches and leaders there worth supporting, plus it’s by far the biggest college sport as we know.  Soccer, baseball, WBB are cool too.

The problem was, it was the wrong IU guy.  I am not saying any of them would have been the right hire but if they were he** bent on hiring an IU guy it should have been someone who had D1 college basketball experience, not some doofus, arrogant, egotistical a**hole from the NBA

Be careful what you wish for just don't say an iu guy or this is what happens. It get a crap coach and you lose put on dusty.

I see, going to be be long 2 weeks….but I do some good rumors to satisfy my hunger

Does anyone else think the BB All Star weekend is super boring? 

Didn't even know it was going to be on. NBA is just a garbage product all together, it's really worth watching. Not much different than going down to the local park and watching

Yep that is where my IU rooting interests and support will have to primarily go. I’ll support football NIL and go to an away / home game a year instead of basketball until they start winning. There’s too much good CBB out there to let IU’s suckage ruin the sport for me. I’ve had a blast following UConn closely as a Hurley fan the past few years. Got season tickets to Princeton after their sweet 16 run for $39 lol. I like watching Duke and SHU with Holloway. It’s fun to cheer for / follow some secondary schools in basketball for me since chef Woody has been serving total slop the past two seasons. I hope to watch IUBB with some excitement again soon.

Supposedly a giant buyout. Too bad. Apparently Zona doesn’t have great NI. 

I think I would take him over Cronin if we were going to pay a ton on a buyout

All will be forgiven on the Dusty May front if Brad Stevens becomes the next coach.

I hear you, Jersey... between the Buckner crew and Woodson's epic failure as a coach, I am almost out on IU basketball... I have actively rooted for them to lose for the past two seasons... 

It would be one thing if Woodson had actually tried to do the job... but he didn't. He phoned in every phase of the job and then called out the fanbase who dared to question his performance. And Buckner continued to enable him at every turn to the detriment of the basketball program ... all because they were buddies and he had the weight to do it.

I pray to the basketball gods that there is a path out of this abyss and that Dolson is able to find it... but the more I look at the situation and all of the tangential items, I get more and more pissed.

No, I am not saying that.  At the time they hired Woodson is what I was talking about.  We need to get away from that altogether unless you consider DM or CB from the RMK coaching tree, lol

Start of conference tournaments. ASUN firsts round starts.    Big time B1G games as well.  Sparty/Wisky and Michigan/Illinois.  Going to be a good Sunday

Not you the former players screaming for an iu guy. I think even guyton and moye were pushing for an iu guy. Wonder how they feel now

The best coach of the former players is probably Alford, unfortunately.

How would we know if it happened on that day? It’s a Sunday too. Seems weird.

[str8baller 6,790]

How about Chris Holtman? Made 4/5 tournaments at OSU. That’s an improvement for IU!

[steubenhoosier 1,598]

Gosh, thought this was the coaching search thread, and that there was a separate one on firing Woodson?

I’ll be multi screening those and call it an lazy day

I'm no insider. Just passing along what I was told by a 17 year old gas station attendant that wasn't even old enough to sell me cigarettes in Pennsylvania....

Brad and Scott met for an early lunch at Shapiros in downtown Indianapolis yesterday. He was caught on several gas station security cameras from Boston to Indy. It appears Brad thinks flying is too risky with all the flight tracking so he drove in a 2002 Prius. 

I thought he was in South Bend today for the Louisville game.

Probably to set up a “Big news Monday”

Just think that the board should stay true to each thread topic.

And no, don’t need to be shown up by some smart azz .

Pretty much everyone on here has come to the conclusion that the Woodson experiment failed and that he needs to be gone.

For months, anyone who posted a different opinion on the FMW thread were told that “ this is the FMW thread. Go post your opinion elsewhere.”

Now, when it’s suggested that the Coach search thread should be limited to posts about the Coach search, and not rehashing the Woodson fiasco, you react like you always have and make a smart azz comment.

Funny how it doesn’t work both ways here.
