Perfectly reasonable for him to save his thoughts for when he actually sits down with him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I bet he has a contact in his phone before Woody was hired that he could check with to find out about guys who have been in the NBA for a long time. Especially someone who has been in the eastern conference Quote

FWIW, Ewing was never a head coach on any level prior to GT so that’s a bad comparison. The better comparison would be Muss, but he did have to take the pitstop at Nevada before getting a big job. Musselman was an assistant at Arizona State for 2 years and LSU 1 year immediately before taking the Nevada job. Quote

Sorry, didn’t know that. i just remember him coaching the Warriors and the Kings. He failed at both, but he had no chance in either case. Just like Woodson had no chance in those first few years in Atlanta. Quote

iubb Posted March 28, 2021 Author Posted March 28, 2021 https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2021/3/28/mens-basketball-former-hoosier-all-american-mike-woodson-named-30th-mens-basketball-coach-at-indiana-university.aspxBLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana University Vice President and Director of Athletics Scott Dolson has named former Hoosier All-American and Indianapolis native Mike Woodson as the 30th head coach in the men's basketball program's history. Woodson returns to the Bloomington campus with vast experiences and knowledge after playing in the NBA for 11 seasons beginning in 1980 and serving as a coach in the league beginning in 1996 for seven NBA franchises, including nine years combined as a head coach with the Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks. He was currently serving as an assistant coach with the Knicks. "This is a great day and a great fit for Indiana Basketball," said IU Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Scott Dolson. "Throughout this process, I was looking for someone I could partner with to return Indiana Basketball to a level of success that Hoosier fans have come to know and expect, and Mike is that person. "During the last two weeks, I have spoken with numerous individuals at the college and NBA levels, and they were unanimous in their support of and respect for Mike. From his ability in terms of X's and O's to his skill at building relationships and developing players, his reputation is outstanding. As a coach, he's succeeded at the highest levels of the NBA, and he's mentored some of the game's all-time great players. On top of all of that, as one of our program's legendary players, Mike certainly gives us a bridge to our past. But more important than what he did as a former Hoosier player, he's someone who shares my vision for what Indiana Basketball is about, and I'm thrilled about what this day means for our program." Woodson was the 1980 Big Ten Player of the Year and NABC All-American as a senior in leading the Hoosiers to a conference title and a berth in the NCAA Tournament's Sweet Sixteen. Despite undergoing back surgery in December and missing seven weeks, he was honored as the Chicago Tribune's Silver Basketball Award Winner following the season. In addition, Dolson has announced that former Ohio State Coach Thad Matta will join the athletic department in the newly created position of Associate Athletic Director for Basketball Administration.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk T White and JaybobHoosier 2 Quote
