That place holds close to 14,000 and they average about 6800.   It’s been a problem for awhile getting fans to show up out in LA 

For sure, not helping himself in LA with already lackluster fan support. We’ve said how many times that IU fans are hungry for a winner? IMO, don’t see our fans really booing in the same scenario anyways. If we did, we’d deserve to be called out by the coach. But again, just IMO, people are acutely sensitive to never criticizing the fans after Woody’s campaign the last year, for lack of a better term. People here would totally rip our own fans for booing in the same scenario. Especially if the coach wasn’t Woodson.

I don't know...I feel like you gain nothing by calling the fans out. You say thing like "our fans have the same expectations we do, to win and finish games, and we didn't do that today" or "we need to continue to keep our intensity high so that our fans keep their energy high." It's almost like you have to coach the fans by telling them what you expect out of your team.

That's not odd for Cronin - he has a long history of things like that.

Exactly. This isn’t a one off thing. That guy is miserable and has been for as long as I’ve been paying attention. I have no interest in personally disliking the IUBB coach again.

Yes I think there are much better ways to frame the sentiment than Cronin did. Conceptually though I do think sometimes it makes sense for coaches to “check” fans as long as it doesn’t come off as resentment or something. 100% agree on needing someone who can coach the fans too

Well, have any of you pissed next to Tom Crean at an IU Football game?

BECAUSE I HAVE! #BringBackCrean if Brad Stevens says no. 

No, but i have pissed next to Dolson before at the Barn a few years ago. Not only do they put their pants on just like we do but they also shake just like we do, incredible.

Judging by the jiggling of his watch I'd call him a sporadic shaker. If he were a painter he'd be Jackson Pollock

So I take it you aren't actually named Trish, then. Or else this is really a heck of a story.

I am Trish Stratus from the WWF (WWE).

Let's just say, Tom Crean shouldn't have any trouble with the ladies if he ever became single!

Can we talk about the fact that Woodson gave a scholarship to the guy in the lower left corner (Dallas James) and he hasn't played one minute?

So we've went from Stevens to Turgeon to Dicks Vitale in just a manner of days.

[ib4iu]

Instead of a head coach and assistants maybe Dolson is looking at the big ten retread experiment. A combination of Tim Miles, Mark Turgeon, Richard Pitino, and Pat Chambers. Others in consideration would include Tom Crean, John Groce, Steve Alford and Chris Holtman. Special advisors Gary Williams and John Beilein. Still need someone for the GM position.

From my understanding he’s his buddies son and was doing him a  favor if i remember correctly

Redshirting?

Ha, just kidding. Considering he barely saw the floor at South Carolina State (35 games / 7.5 min/game in 4 years), it was expected he wouldn't get PT at IU. His father is Jerome James, who played for the Knicks, so Woodson probably gave the scholarship as a favor.
