Mike Woodson to be next IUBB coach. Thad Matta to be associate AD

In another point to be fair to Woodson to show I’m not just trying to be a hater.  If Lander stays in IU, Woodson can mold him to be a stud point guard.

Dolson’s playing chess, not checkers.

For anyone on the fence, this should put you squarely in the “great hire” column.

Just a 'Welcome Home' mat. 

No. More. Slogans.

That’s what the Twitter account said. It said “Welcome Home”

I don't have any doubt Woody will get more out of players than Archie did. 

BUT 

Will he actually be able to recruit players who are any good? 

Can he lead them to victories -- that's the bottom line?

Jeff Goodman thought Archie Miller was a home run hire. Who cares what he thinks. Let's let this play out. Glad he is prioritizing the team first. Need to know if these guys are coming back or not.

Can't say I'm surprised or disappointed, just kind of blah!! I'm not going to bail on IUBB or make predictions that Woody will fail or thrive. 

If, and it's a big if, he's able to recruit well I think he'll do fine. He wouldn't be my 1st choice but I'm behind him 100%.

I do like that it’s six years and not seven years. I’ll give Scott that so far with Indiana Basketball.

Sorry if this has been shared. I don't have time to wade through all these pages. But TJD appears to be confused by the move ... 
 

 

I always read those eyes as "oh damn" in a positive way. And then he has things to think about (nba/transfer/stay)

Mike Woodson tells me that he has landed in Indiana and is en route to Bloomington to meet with the team.

Woodson on being the head coach at Indiana: "It's a dream come true."

Mike Woodson on the Indiana players who are currently in the transfer portal:

"They are the top priority right now. I've got to get with them and meet with them."

Rothstein 

To be able to see that initial meeting...

One thing I think we can all agree on: Jeff Goodman is a massive tool who needs a bonafide asswhooping. A 40 year old man who still wears his hat slanted like he’s Fernando Rodney but doesn’t play baseball shouldn’t be given so much attention

According to what I just saw, he's almost 50. Don't knock us 40 year olds down. (Note: I wear my hats like a 40 year old white guy.)

How the hell did you get threw the last 4 years?

[Bgaines99 62]

I’m on the Woody wagon even though I don’t have much confidence in the hire. But this could end up being a good thing since I thought Sampson was a slam dunk, Crean was a home run, and Archie was a grand slam.

I was on the fence about the hire, but after seeing Goodman's tweet I'm all on board. Goodman is such a clown.

[Mohepa 126]

Reading through the posts, I realize how dumb I am.  I thought hiring an IU legend, with unimpeachable basketball knowledge,a solid career coaching at the highest level, and someone that would walk barefoot across glass for the job was a good thing.  I am sure glad all of you experts cleared it up for me.  
 

no reason to wait until he actually coaches a game.  Let’s get the fire mike Woodson website going tonight.  

[Bowhunter 2,693]

I can’t stand Goodman! We don’t need him bashing us all the time. However, he maybe right on this one. Seems really risky to me.

The fact Goodman is against it even strengthens my thought that this is a GREAT hire... 

If you ever find yourself thinking the same thing as Goodman, you have to reconsider.
