JPCIVOP Posted March 2 Posted March 2 4 minutes ago, WayneFleekHoosier said: It’s a bit more than that. Besides being stubborn as heck, his inability to have enough shooters around his very good Bigs, cost him the chance to have really great seasons. Also it took him 4 years to stop platooning lineups, stop auto benching with 2 fouls. He still hasn’t limited the long 2 enough, but sitting Tucker has helped with that. Speaking of Tucker, wow. That’s really gone South. Stuff behind the scenes must be in action because you’d think he’d still get some minutes in a limited role. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app Yeah, there were plenty of things that just didn't need to have happened. It was there to be more successful, and it just hasn't worked. All of those things you describe have been problems. The Tucker thing is interesting; think some of it is stuff going south, but a lot of it is Leal getting his minutes. I think a lot of the defensive jump can be found there. JF87 and Deserthoozier 2

They said Woodson told them TRAYCE has averaged 21 wins a season and doesn't know why that isn't good enough. I shouldn't be surprised at his lack of awareness but I still am. Fixed it 4U!

Deserthoozier Posted March 2 Posted March 2 8 minutes ago, JPCIVOP said: Think he could; since they've gone to this new lineup approach, they're at around 1.18 ppp on offense and 95.5 on defense. Those efficiency metrics are a lot like teams like Michigan, Louisville and UCLA. Hope they keep it up! Only took 3.75 yrs to make a small but significant adjustment. Tough to figure that out on the golf course or cigar lounge! JPCIVOP and Pagoda 1 1
IU Prof Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Am I crazy to think Woodson might try to walk back his "retirement" if he can win a couple games in the NCAAs? Basically, try to rally booster support and force Dolson's hand on firing him? SlammySammy, IU Faithful and Chris007 1 2

Drew not looking great right now in a must-win game for their tourney hopes... If they don't get this one, it's not going to be an easy road. lillurk and Uspshoosier 2

Can't really add in the current year until it's done. He also averaged 13.3 losses. He has a 61% winning percentage despite having one of the biggest NIL treasure troves in the game. But self-actualization was never his strong suit. Silat Player, lillurk, Uspshoosier and 9 others 12

Basically, try to rally booster support and force Dolson's hand on firing him? It wouldn't surprise me if he thinks that squeaking into the tournament gives him the political capital to force Dolson to keep him or fire him. it also wouldn't be surprising to find out that he doesn't realize that the whole forced retirement thing was a way for him, Woodson, to save face. He'd be wrong, of course. He is not going to be IU's coach after this season regardless but Dolson went the route that let Woodson save face. All Dolson would have to do would be to say sorry, but we've already moved on and too many resources have already been put into the coaching search. Hoosier DaDa 1
