Wouldn't getting into a physical altercation with your assistant be grounds for being fired? He can complain all he wants, but the truth is we have given him special treatment all around because he was a former player. 

The very fact he even got this job was because of it. Certainly not his resume. This was always my concern with hiring a former player, if it doesn't work out it's hard to separate. But I would have never imagined a former player being so clueless about this job and what it entails and be so selfish on top of it.

Also part of why I could see May and his family being hesitant about taking the IU job now … if it doesn’t work out, a handful of lives are upside down.

Still feel good but the resident insider, @Chris007, would know more. Not to put him on the spot or anything lol

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

Better be ready to cut the mic.

Indiana can't resist doing something stupid.

You weren’t here 4 years ago when I got it wrong. People wanted my home address. :-) but I have not heard of anyone saying no. Also I’m just a guy who shares what he hears not an “insider “

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. 

It's part of the process. Woodson disrupted the process by retiring unexpectedly, gotta make sure to follow the rest of the process or Kathy will be angry.

What would this board do if Woody got up and went on a religious rant?

Hey everyone. First post here. I'm just here for the occasional bangers. I won't be chiming in too much but wanted to say hello to some fellow die hard Hoosier fans. Hoping for a fresh start with a great coach and a renewed, optimistic mindset for all of us moving into next season. Go Hoosiers 

Appreciate you coming by to post. Please share anything you hear or anything else.

Drew won a national championship at a school with four tournament appearances in its history before he got there. I could not give less of a crap about his religious preferences. Just win, baby. 

You trying to say that Jesus Christ can't hit a curve ball?

Might be epic for the fans.. . but epically embarrassing to the university and Woodson...

Last time I was in Uranus, may have been the last. I leaned in the door about 4.27" and when I came out it looked like the wife spilled a small Wendy's frosty in my lap

It’s nice our next coach is on the same channel in the game before us.

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.”

While I tend to agree here, Woody is clearly either living in pure delusion or make it as painful as possible mode. It is clear from multiple games since the refiring he is willing to say anything to be seen in a sympathetic light, and is not telling these guys “off the record.” If he gets up and tries to do the they done me wrong song and dance he’s going to get boo’d off the court and he will deserve it. My guess is he doesn’t, but keeps talking to any media ear that will listen to paint IU and the fanbase in a poor light. 
 

I was thinking about the McDermott thing more, and I 100% believe ScottyWithaB, because I have serious doubts Woody has even the slightest idea who Greg McDermott is lol. The name likely means nothing to Woody, which to me, makes his info even more believable. The only way Woody says the words Greg McDermott is if someone leaked it to him.

He doesn’t know the name of his assistants some days so he doesn’t know who Greg McDermott is. Even if someone told him his name he wouldn’t remember it

I'll be in attendance so I'm all for letting him just free balling lol. Entertain me.

That’s right! We want blood! We want a spectacle! lol. I’m with ya. I want a horribly awkward 15 minutes of Woody slowly losing his ****, getting louder and louder and says “I ain’t leaving. They can’t make me!” ….then he gets dragged out by campus police. A man can dream.

If I were Dolson I would tell Woody I'm speaking first and preemptively contradict anything he might say, and then congratulate him on his basketball career and wish him a happy retirement

iu has never finished a year with a NET under 30.  
 

 

How many of those years would you find acceptable at IU over the next 5?
