I think the entire fanbase is so over this season that we just don’t care anymore. 

I look at it this way.  Woodson is exiting.  Now that we got that out of the way I want to see some modicum of success from this squad.  Beating the Boilers by 30 would make me feel oh so good.

This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

Him not getting fired had nothing to do with race, sorry. This is what happens when you hire an IU legend with backing by the BoT and donors. He went to the tournament twice before as well. I think we all agree it was not going to work out. The biggest mistake was hire him in the first place without any college experience. We also paid him a lot of money considering he didn't have any other legitimate HC opportunities. 

Not saying it did, but, if you don’t think Woodson would have had a great case for discrimination with what was laid out…..agree to disagree

There was no way they were going to fire a minority alum after 3 years, who had gone to the NCAA tournament twice, after having given Archie 4 years with no tournament.  Would have setup the school for a racial discrimination lawsuit most likely.  
Racial discrimination! What the heck? He beyond deserved to be fired. 2 tournaments isn't shouldn't be good enough at iu! The writing was on the wall. He deserved to be fired on performance. He deserved to be fired for causing a rift with the fans. He was old. Time was on Archie side not woodsons that was probably biggest reason Archie got a year 4. That and a steady upward trend with good recruits! Woodson only star recruit backed out after the announcement he was returning. That should have changed things imo

The Kentucky search last season was an eye opener for me. 
 

Whether any of us want to admit it or not, the Kentucky job is a better job than Indiana. Was it back when Davis was hired? Probably not…. Today, it’s not even close, if you ask anyone not wearing crimson colored glasses.
 

Each day that passes. The way we start with such high ambitions (Brad Stevens) to have those hopes dashed. 
 

I anticipate this hire to go very much like Kentucky’s. Zero chance Drew is actually interested in Indiana while not having been interested in Kentucky. Im sorry. I just can’t bring myself to buy that story. 
 

May would be a home run but I’m not nearly as convinced as others that he will want to make the move after 1 year in Ann Arbor. 
 

We’d be wise to hire McCollum.

Tamar Bates at 22 yrs old more mature than Dan Dakich at 62.

LOL

The timing of the tweets are odd. Dakich made the original tweet on February 4th of 2024. At that time, Tamar Bates hadn't won an SEC game. That tweet was made right after Mizzou had lost to Vanderbilt and was 0-9 in the SEC(Mizzou was 0-18 in conference play). Bates first SEC game was January 6th, 2024. Finally got an SEC win January 27th, 2025. He and Mizzou were 0-20 going into that game. The most recent tweet made after beating Alabama. I just see zero reason to dig back a year for the post from Dakich.

I'm just trying to proactively direct them out of this thread because it will be a debate whether we want it to or not, not that it's been stirred.

Oh yeah, I agree it has no place in this thread. You’re spot on. I just want this to stay a sports board and not a politics board because I want to keep on liking most of you cats lol

He would have had absolutely zero case for discrimination… 
There is only one reason he was kept. Quinn buckner. He would of had no case at all.
