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

[P92]

Wow, loved Knight’s comments, this has to feel great to him like a vindication of his coaching years by having a player he is so close to fill his shoes.

Dolson is ready to drop bags. 

Adult Diaper bags? Larry Brown is 80.

An 80 year old Larry Brown......please don't let him do grade checks. 

Well, he surely can't do bed checks 'cause he'll be in bed by 9:00.

Lots of steps?  At Brown's age he might need a scooter.

I loved it too. Things may not work out, and I wasn't blown away by the hire at first, but it's starting to feel "right"

I'm sure some of the woke army spit their food up though with all the RMK mentions the last 24 hours.

Whatever it takes. Hell, I'd booster-fund a scooter for Larry and a weekly supply of Ensure.

Well If you ever want to meet the entire staff they’ll be getting the early bird special at Cloverleaf South in Bloomington every morning!

Maybe we can get Depends to sponsor the games.

Don't forget Viagra. The Assembly Hall advertisements would be lit lol.

In all seriousness, Woodson doesn't look 63 at all. Brown doesn't look 80, but he was already short and balding. 

Give me those two, and two young hot shots. Matta is in the middle, but he looks older than his age.

Also, on some level I’m getting a low key Tom Allen vibe. Different personalities for sure, but you can sense his first priority is people and vision of family rather than all X’s and O’s strategy stuff

Not sure why anyone could see this as a bad thing. Do you really think that Coach Woodson, a RMK acolyte, is going to run a dirty program? Zero chance.

If this isn't taking one of the assistant spots, I'm not sure why we wouldn't want another great basketball mind to be around the program. Not that he necessarily needs it, but Matta and Brown give Woodson immediately credibility with anyone who knows anything about basketball.

Brown has spent a literal lifetime around the game.  He could be a heck of an asset but at 80 I'm not sure how much he could actually help; it's possible he's really forgotten more than most people would ever know.

One thing's for sure, you'd be hard pressed to find another staff with the, ummm, wealth of knowledge ours would have.

They’re not going to hire an 80 year with ailing mental health just to do it, otherwise they’d bring on RMK. I think it’s safe to say he’s mentally there if he is seriously being considered.
