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

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

Not a great hire. Not a good hire. This stinks. No college coaching experience. No recruiting experience. I said before, I loved Mike as a player. IU needed a home run. We fouled out

I loved Woodson the player. I haven't really followed him much since. I have no reason to think that he can't coach IU basketball as well as anyone else. I'm old and probably an idiot compared to people who play the analytics game but I am pretty happy right now with the start of the Woodson era. As far as the national talking heads are concerned, my opinion of them is quite similar to Coach Knight's.

I will say this. I hope Mike leaves that Knicks offense behind in New York. They are playing Archie Miller basketball in 2021 in the NBA.

So if he is indeed the hire and he is successful, you won't be back right?

The only thing as nauseating as the ones stating their life is ruined because of this hire is you riding around like this. We’re still within the 3 hours of an underwhelming hire. Can it turn out to be a great hire? Sure, but it’s a message board for crying out loud.

However people feel about the hire, it’s pretty dang cool to hear this from our new head coach.

There goes the fire thread, anyways I hope he has success at IU

Winning is everything...no doubt. But I was looking at it from a slightly different angle.

Should CMW try to retain guys in the transfer portal? Maybe they need to sell him, (not him sell them) by showing him, how they CAN play. I'm not sure we want to keep the entire roster in check. There probably are a few guys that need to be gone. (not saying who. That's for CMW to decide)

If the transfer market is half what everyone believes it will be, it might make sense to revamp the roster asap. Just a thought.

Yea for sure.. get the man tape asap for a closer look at who he thinks fits his scheme. I don't want to hold onto current players if it's not a mix. Especially with a killer portal.

Yeah, and from him I actually believe it.  It is not just "press conference speak".

Except they are actually winning.

Because he’s an IU guy. It definitely makes things more sensitive.

since Goodman is the guy who stated unequivocally "I don't see any way Archie can fail at IU" his reaction today is an encouraging development

To what end?  Basketball is played completely different now. 

Kobe Bryant studied many players that were way before his time. He learned some things that worked in a completely different NBA landscape.

As a teenager?  Or when he was an adult 

[rcbowla 7,035]

How many years do you guys think that Mike Woodson has in him? 

10...15 tops

I'll take a guy who WANTS to be here every day of the week over a guy that we try to convince to come here. Which guy do you think will bust his tail everyday and make it his personal goal to bring this program back to greatness.

Coach Woodson loves this university, he wants it to succeed and I am confident he will see it done. 

Go get em Coach!
