Who’s he bringing? If it’s Lewis or fife I can live with it

That’s what I was getting at.  I mean who knows.

Who started the Woodson rumor? Was it Woodson? I thought there was a list and that it wouldn't fall past a certain point on the list. This is on the floor below the table below the list.

This hire is going to be divisive no matter who it is at this point.  I think IU basketball is in a really tough spot until we actually see some consistent winning.  Hopefully that happens in the next couple decades. 

Can someone check to see if SSAH is built on an ancient Native American burial ground? There has to be a reason for this curse...

No. We could literally hire chairs with no legs to do a better job than Archie did. 

[Hoosierfan1901 6,099]

Might as well offer Stevens $10 million a year than go after Woodson 

[IU Scott 2,375]

Again why people having a melt down over some speculation that no one evens knows if it has any truth at all.  we should have learned by now not to get carried away because someone on a message boards says something might happen.  Remember going into yesterday that people said it was a done deal and that Stevens was coming which we now no is false.

[Trish 11,505]

Mike Woodson to Indiana is a done deal. 
 

BOOM!

 

Now it won’t happen! Thank god. We’ll do a Alford and Mussleman spiritual ceremony in the A.M. as well. ;)

Better change your AVATAR again.  Can you do a mashup with all the coaches we don't want?  :)

Dolson isn't going to hire Woodson. If it's an IU guy Alford is a 100x better choice.

And he turns 63 in a few days. This would be an incredible letdown, which is why it will probably happen. So predictable it would come to this, just 24 hours after we thought we were getting our dream candidate. This poor program just can't ever catch a break. 

Dolson would lose half the fan base forever with that move.  No way.

[SteelerHoosier 2,586]

I know you cannot just look at wins and losses, but Woodson has a literal .463 winning percentage in the NBA. If he's the guy....I have zero ******* faith in this program going forward.

Any chance Woodson could be hired with understanding that Stevens will come after the Celtics season is over. Brad only mentioned finishing this year with the Celtics in the press conference Friday.

“you know, we're going through a tough season. And, you know, I think that it's not my job to not go through it. It's not my job to not make sure that I'm doing everything I can to help find a better version of ourselves this year”.

Maybe all of this is just to allow him to finish the season without any distractions.

Doubt it. My number 1 concern in this hiring process was Dolson's ties to the Knight era. Looks like it may be valid

[maharkn 1,686]

I got to say if they hire Woodson with a really bad pro coaching record and no college experience... never recruited etc I don’t know what to think of that

We need an x's and o's coach. You can hire assistants that know the recruiting ins and outs.

$10 is damn near going to be the final offer. 
I’m so over this roller coaster. One final Hail Mary.

So there’s still a chance? This is insane.

That's a dangerous plan.  College basketball is about the head coach.  How many assistants can you name on Duke, UNC, Kentucky, Kansas staff?

Wait... what? I thought this was over.
