How do I block people?

On a PC, just hover your cursor over the user's name and then click Ignore User. Not sure on mobile though.

All of this cross talk about a poster that many of you believe is trolling is incredibly counterproductive and makes the thread practically unreadable.

Highly recommended that you all stop it.

But wouldn’t a week later still have been in season?

the story we’ve heard is that Woodson wanted Dolson to give him a public assurance that he would get a fifth year.  He would not (because he had plans to not do so).  Woodson sped that process up but thinking for some reason he had the power in the situation when he obviously didn’t.

I said a week but was only trying to estimate when our season would end, assuming we received a tournament bid.

As for what you’ve heard, it’s accurate. When it got hot after the Iowa and Illinois games, he wanted SD to publicly support him by saying he was coming back next year. Dolson told him that any evaluation of his performance was a post-season issue, and Woodson didn’t like that. He sought help from others and was told that we weren’t going to do what he wanted. I think he saw the writing on the wall and realized he wouldn’t survive. I’m not privy to every last detail and discussion, but that’s how it unfolded.

The discomfort in certain circles at IU (and from some very prominent alumni and friends) is palpable. He was and is extremely well thought of by a number of people, and no one wanted things to end this way. He’s been connected to IU for nearly 50 years, and that’s helped him build a number enduring relationships. Unfortunately, there were a few people who were concerned that his hiring would someday result in a less than happy departure, so they’ve proved to be prophetic.

Folks, let's take a second here.

You don't fire Mike Woodson for Brad Brownell. Scott isn't nor can't do that. 

From your lips to god's ears...

You didn't need a crystal ball to see how this was going to turn out.

My involvement is a no brainier. I've had my finger on the pulse of Hoosier nation for 50 plus years. My motivation is always what is best for the program, even if the fans don't realize it. 

Woodson's tenure will go down as one of the most important in this program's history. Fans are unaware of the foundation he has laid. 

Sit back and relax, ole Quinn will deliver again. 

Go Hoosiers!

Not sure this is Quinn - who was nearly your Father-in-Law? Yes, this is a test.

He doesn't have honest enough people in his circle, then. It's clear he didn't fulfill the requirements in some basic areas of his job. It's clear that he let his ego get in the way of doing that job. This is a massively subjective assumption, but it sounds like no one was willing to be a straight shooter with him except Dolson.

So, WQB forced the hire of a former player, long time friend and mediocre NBA coach with no college experience, and there was doubt in the minds of some that it wouldn't end well? C'mon, that is pretty inconceivable ... the odds were incredibly slim that it ended any other way ... and when you factor in the approach that Woodson took to actually doing the job, it left very little doubt that it would end the way that it has.

And now we're trying to find a legitimate coach to resolve a 4 year (or 8 year) mess that is the basketball program. I hope there's someone willing and able to do the job... we will hopefully know soon.

Also— this is the coaching candidates thread.

To keep it readable off-topic posts are at risk of being hidden. Silliness is fine, but long discussions that should be in other threads are not.
