Dolson’s playing chess, not checkers.

 

Are you saying that because of the Matta hire?

Any way he brings Kenny with him.

I take this more as that he is thinking about what this means.

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

This is all according to the hot take rules where you can never admit that you were wrong. Because he made such a strong statement back then, in order for his reputation to remain intact he has to conclude that Archie didn’t fail IU, IU failed Archie.

Jabell brings up a good point, could he bring Payne with him

I know First Amendment and all that, but if you're posting on the "Fire Mike Woodson" thread just stay there please.

Freaking stupid...

Hopefully Woodson tells TJD he can do for him what he did for Randle if TJD comes back.

Indiana has just hired the most experienced coach in program history.

1. Started at IU for 4 years

2. 2000+ career scorer

3. All American

4. 11 year NBA player and 10,000+ scorer

5.  14 year NBA coach - head coach of 2 teams

6.  From Indiana and member of Indiana basketball hall of fame.

So he lacks college experience but he has been successful at everything he has done in the past.  If he hadn't have been successful his career as a player and coach would have been very brief.  To have a 25 year professional career means that he has been able to develop relationships and is respected.

Wonder if the others that might have been suggested for the IU job could have matched the success that Woodson has had.  The next level up from college is littered with "great" players and coaches the washed out very quickly.

Mike Woodson has earned a chance to turn the IU program around and those that can't see that are idiots.  NOBODY can see the future

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

No room for a fire thread.   A lot of us may not actually be excited about this hire, but we should all be wiling to support him and see what happens.  There will be plenty of time down the road to criticize the man if things go bad.  In the meantime lets support him and hope he is the greatest hire ever in the history of the school.

It's gone, no worries.

Woodson can sell our current recruits a plan to get them to the pros at least

I’m going to sleep on this until I hear of a full coaching staff.

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

 

This.  This is why I think he'll be a good hire.

I think a lot of people here need hugs.  And prescription refills.

And Midol. Lot of cramping going on today.

[Schreckbagger 620]

This just gets crazier. So now, recruits don't know who Carmelo ******* Anthony is, or that MW once coached him when he head coached the NEW YORK KNICKS. People are grasping at whatever straw they can to down play this hire. There is literally only one negative-- Has not coached college. Thats it. Covered up by the Matta hire and most likely the assistants. None of the negative responses have been remotely rational. We need a thread entitled, MY GUY WASNT HIRED AND NOW I AM BIG MAD ONLINE.

THIS.

Hopefully he can sell them a plan to get them all shooting better than 35% from the field

I wonder how long it will take to hear about the current players in the portal since he is meeting with them tonight.
