Ball is in Woody's court. Winning will solve all and shut all most mouths. 

Ball dropped. Hoping IU administration chooses the program over a highly rated incoming recruit. Woody has to be fired, any serious program would do it. Crean got fired after winning B1G twice in 4 years

The problem with Woodson is his schematics suck. Everybody sees this. He's not a college coach. There's just no hope unless he gets generational talents at all positions.

Mediocre in the NBA a decade ago and then no one hired him for a HC job for almost a decade. One thing that I don't see brought up very often is the fact that he wasn't a coach anywhere in the 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 seasons. Dude was out of coaching entirely for two years! That's the guy IU decided to hire! It was such a joke of a decision and we're seeing it play out right in front of us.

Yup. No college program would've ever have hired Woodson. Just shocking. May and Buckner need to have serious talks with him and get him to walk. This is abysmal.

Woodson will be back next year. IU is going to suck, again. Woodson will “retire” at the end of the season.

What about Thad Matta

If fans can see this, why doesn’t the admin? Why wait? 

[DChoosier 9,811]

So at this point do we replace Woody with Kent Benson, Scott May or perhaps Bud Mackey?

[LamarCheeks 22,130]

Maybe Buckner will name himself head coach. 

After all, he led the Mavs to a 13-69 mark 30 years ago.

If he weren't already dead, Red Klotz could likely do a better job.

No way... if he was coaching, then he'd have to watch every game... no way he could stomach this crap.

[Kentuckysucks 4,332]

I just pray that whenever we hire the next coach we simply go out and get the best coach we can get and do not let any external factors influence the hiring decision.  Don't hold your breath.

Sorry but Buckner will be making our next hire as well

After that craptacular performance today, I'm not sure being alive is a pre-requisite.

That’s enough to get the job according to Scott Dolson. Have some experience and an Indiana alum is all it takes.

Take a look, ISU vs Drake ESPN 2 6:00pm

Really Good article:  The Athletic on Josh Schertz 

Josh Schertz (didn’t even play high school ball, GED, Tennis Star, son of a rich dad who found himself not living at home…his dad was high pressure fanatic towards tennis, became a college basketball 5’6” point guard, started pursuing coaching (The Athletic has an interesting article on Schertz).on what is becoming a humanistic success story.  Schertz does have a masters degree now.

He's definitely intriguing but we can't take that risk right now.

I do not want any famous already done this big time coach so they can do whatever.  I am not sure if Josh Schertz is any more of a risk than many others including those IU has already experienced.  The article is worth reading.  He seems to have a very high IQ in what he is doing.  (Indiana State when he took over was at the bottom of the Mo Valley)

So was FAU.  They'll hire Dusty.

Brad Stevens

Chris Beard

Scott Drew

Tommy Lloyd 

 

Bruce Pearl (still concerned about age and others)

Dusty May (concerned about stage and scope)

Don’t want a rebuild type guy and want someone respected. Purdue is light years ahead of us and have a young coach.  
 

Get someone who thinks they are better than Painter.
