General Coach Candidate News

[spe317 1,014]

Are Woody and Dolson on speaking terms post “retire your backside”? I can’t imagine they are. It was my understanding there wasn’t the warmest of feelings there. And I’m pretty sure everyone in the AD who would be involved are on NDAs and that’s a select few. Dunno tho.

Coach who’s is the next coach going to be? I think he’s hiring Coach McDougie who has the farm boys from Ohana Nebraska. Should be fun

That’s funny because Dolson has been joking about Jackson 

Well, they have something in common.  They both fired Woodson.

I’ve heard they are worried about senior day because he’s told people he wants to tell his side.

I can hear Scott now: “Oh no the microphone is out of batteries.” “Tornado Warning in March, that’s odd.” “Do you smell something burning? Better pull the fire alarm.” “Did Galloway just say there is a team bond? I heard bomb. Everybody out just in case!”

I’m very worried about this spectacle.

Probably the biggest reason why he should have been fired and told to clean out his office. Letting him have the microphone again is one of the dumbest things we could have possibly done. But we're IU and we like to do dumb things I guess.

His separation agreement almost certainly has a non-disparagement clause that would prevent this by putting his buyout at risk if he goes off.

Even with that, I would not give him the mic — could result in some bad “optics.”

I’m not much for booing but if he stands there and airs his grievances in senior day, it will show he is simply in it for himself with no regard for IU. And hope he would get boo’d out of the gym. Hopefully, his hangers on will counsel him against that

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

Are you related to Scotty R?

That’s one of the reasons I wish the plug would have been pulled in February.

It reads a little too similar to last year when a guy came on here and said he had a close friend in Dusty May's immediate family, and that Dusty was Louisville bound. 

That was me and I’ll stand by that statement. I have never been a troll and don’t ever intend to have “breaking news,” just add to the conversation. I still see that family member regularly, and he’s just as surprised that Michigan swept in at the 11th hour with Dusty. It just goes to show that there are so many moving parts with all these people. You can have info that you are 100% convinced of, but people change. They change their minds, they go a different direction, etc. My bad if I spoke in absolutes, but I repeated exactly what I was told, no embellishment.

I’ve heard it does but you never know when he gets the mic

It's not gonna go how he thinks it will if they let him speak.

We don't care about his story. We care about winning.

Indiana gonna Indiana.  Same as death and taxes.

One would hope that Buckner, Wittman and his other biggest supporters would tell him in very plain language not to make an even bigger a$$ of himself at senior night by going off on a petty rant.

If that happens it would just add to the evidence that for Mike Woodson, this was never about bringing IU Basketball back as a top program or bridging the divide between older and younger IU fans.  It will just show this has always been about Mike Woodson wanting the status of being the IU coach and that to Woodson, his ego is more important than the program.
