Parker and Aarman have not left yet. They entered the transfer portal to enable them to keep their options open... both have said that they aren't necessarily or definitely leaving... just that they want to look around and talk to other programs. If IU gets a solid coach, he can keep both... no need to panic yet... IU basketball is not (yet) circling the drain...

I'm not directing this at anyone - more of a generalization, but is it just me, or does the entire IU basketball fan base seem to be totally schizophrenic?

Answering only for myself, I can say "yes we are"...

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

Defense matters though, Paul George was an incredible defender... Melo was not. That’s why I say it was close.

 

the fact of the matter is nba playoffs are an entirely different beast than NBA regular season. Those Knick teams had two offensive threats, Melo and JR Smith, who was streaky as hell. If those are your top two options, I have no idea what you were expecting to happen. Not to mention Melo kind of disappeared at times in the playoffs.

Well, what I’m expecting to happen now is for IU to hire someone with P5 head coaching experience, preferably someone with success at that level. Since that apparently isn’t going to happen, I have to look at the NBA resumes of some of the candidates. Woodson’s resume as a head coach is very mediocre. He won 3 playoff rounds in 9 years as a head coach. You’re absolutely right that the playoffs are a completely different beast from the regular season. Mike Woodson has a 39% winning percentage in the NBA playoffs. 
 

When I see some of these guys, I ask myself one question: would we be interested in this candidate if they hadn’t gone to IU?

If the answer is no, I’m not interested. Our program is in trouble. We’ve made 10 tournaments in the past 20 years, and advanced past the sweet 16 once in the past 26 years. We’re teetering on the verge of irrelevancy. I’m of the opinion that another bad hire will kill the IU men’s basketball program. Because of that, I want the hire to be as close to a sure thing as we can get.

Had a conference call this morning so I'm taking it at the airport. I arrived around 1030 and a jet was landing... I've been watching but only crew has left the plane... door is open but no activity

Probably a big nothing burger..

Half of the flights these private charters planes take there are no passengers on board.  The plane is merely flying to the next destination to pick up passengers for its next flight.  The plane that flew in from Westchester Co. is scheduled to leave for the Florida Keys shortly.  When Archie was hired none of the flight stuff was at all relevant until after news of the hiring already broke.  That's when a flight from Bloomington to Dayton and back to Bloomington popped up (as we know Glass talked to Miller on the west coast somewhere).

Yes on the first part. Not guessing either. Woodson could be flying in now either to be interviewed or to announce he is a candidate or nothing at all. 

Thanks Chris!

I’ve said this a few times, but us as IU fans, we need to give any coach that’s hired a chance. Would I be thrilled with a Woodson hire, no, but I would welcome him with open arms and wish him the best of luck to turn this program around. Hope others will be willing to do the same!

So is Mike Woodson supposedly coming in today? Baby boy #2 arrived yesterday afternoon.  Both he and momma are doing great. Safe to say Brad isn’t in his name lol 

New baby name: Michael... but you're gonna call him "Woody"?

 Any chance that a new coach could move IU from Adidas to Nike, Jordan, or Under Armour? 

There’s no chance of this. I know you hate Adidas, but not happening.

Named "Woody?" Becky? (not that there's anything wrong with that). Is he going to grow a Beard?

Congrats! Having 2 is definitely a lot different lol. We have a 4 and 1 1/2 year old boys. Love it but very stressful.

Go IU and hope we get the best coach who will turn it around!

For any up and coming Nate Oats fans, here's the CBS article profiling him from a few weeks back. I specifically like his multiple references to NOT running Bobby Knight motion in today's game ----- looks like somebody growing up in the midwest was paying attention. Anyway great article about how he has used math / analytics / advanced analytical scouting to give his team advantages. 

Don't think he's coming but he would be my clear number 2 ------ and the way he yelled at the LSU bench to "get the **** outta here" after the SEC championship game and his penchant for plaid jackets he does remind me of someone.
