General Coach Candidate News

Just when I think the bingo card for rumors can’t get any more weird, someone delivers Insider Source: Mike Woodson.

Hey he was in the right spot to be leaked on.

At least that means he’s out the door and completely knows it. He’s talking about who the next coach is going to be. Win in my book.

If I were Dolson I’d ask Woody for recommendations and then immediately cross them off the list. 

I don't think I mean this as d-baggy as it sounds, or maybe I do, but I wonder how many college basketball coaches Woody could offer a considered judgement on? Maybe 5?  Some of those guys remember every action and every decision from every game they've ever been on the bench for, I know for a fact that Self can do that, but Woody has always felt like once he's done thinking about a game he just moves on.

At the end of the game against Washington the other night during handshakes I thought to myself "What are the odds that Woodson even knows that the other coaches name is Danny Sprinkle"

I feel like WGN9 was hurting for ratings that month.

Since we were talking about religion, Brother Max wouldn't be happy about that report...

There was some "soft chatter" a while back in this thread about his frustration with Gonzaga's NIL... but he's 65 and never been outside the PNW except for an "away" game... (maybe not actually, but close)... I really don't see him going anywhere... 

EDIT: Just double-checked... he's only 62 (12/27/1962).

what does the BTB collective think about the possibility of Mark Few at IU?

I guarantee he's very much in the loop. Wouldn't have lied just now I'm confident in that.

I’m not saying your friend lied or that Woody lied to your friend.  I’m saying if anyone in the athletic department gave Woody any names they were lying to Woody.

I want to clarify I like Greg McDermott and would be happy with him as our coach.

I fail to see the humor in this. I'm trying to contribute some info on the subject.

Apologies if I’m wrong but it has all the feels of Trollish behavior.  If not, sincere apologies.  But the idea of Woody leaking Dolsons moves that no one can ascertain to a random friend is genuinely hilarious.

Then they clearly didn’t learn a thing from the Archie Miller experiment.  That’s what a Greg is.  A mid major guy just like Alford.  He would be an epic flop here.

The last person anyone in Dolson's inner circle would trust is Woody. 

The guy has been on a victim tour with every announcing crew he's encountered...

Great coaches can do that. You could interview coach knight and he would talk about a game 20 years ago like he just got done with it. I have caught woodson several times messing up details on post game radio right after the game. If you listen to him to much you quickly learn he has no clue what is going on. Imo

Fair enough. I can't imagine he would have taken the time let me know if there wasn't some weight to it. He's been nothing short of reliable in the past and doesn't share speculation. I guess time will tell.

I'd like his former assistant a LOT more at this point.

He's older, spent his entire career in the PNW at a mid-major and is an introvert.

I think of all the 0 percent chance guys that we’ve thrown around in this thread, Few is the most 0 percent. He’s got a spectacular life and he’s not leaving the only college he’s ever coached at.
