I’m so happy we got someone who would walk over glass to get to IU. Add Matta to help, get a good staff and we can get this ball rolling. Welcome home Woody. Can’t wait for the first practice.

Hey, Bow. At the risk of someone changing my answer spending 4 years blabbing about things I didn't say just so he can follow me around like a child and criticize me like he has nothing better to

Let me tell you something son...from an old fart that's older than Beilein, I'm still pretty damn sharp mentally. And along with age comes wisdom. Something you appear to be a little short on at this

Looks like he just told them some bad news lol. "You guys have not lived up to the standard, that changes today. BASELINE GO." For real though, they look defeated. Hoping Coach Woody can bring the confidence back that has sorely been missing.

Great news.  

Personal note - Registered several years ago but haven't posted much.  Really liked Archie as a hire but hated the way things turned out for him but it was time for a change (once again).  Was hoping for Stevens like most everyone else but over the past few days I'm on board with Coach Woodson.  He is one of my favorite IU players.  I'm from Richmond, 1988 IU grad, and spent 24 years in Lexington/Frankfort before moving back to Indiana.  I'm proud to say that I never became an UK or Louisville fan. :92:

The more I think about it, I think that your probably right.  My initial thought was that Stevens got cold feet because Ainge told him that if he does that, no NBA team will hire him and if he fails he’ll have to go back to mid-major coaching. And given our recent past, the chance of failure is pretty high.


I was thinking exactly this. He actually had a lot to lose. Looks bad burning that bridge as a head coach in arguably a top 3 NBA job. And if he failed what would that look like after the stretch the Celtics have had? Would that tarnish his image?

It is all running together but I said something similar in a different thread last week when "Masshole Watch" was still on going. Aside from BS I was pretty skeptical about the non IU names being thrown around as possibilities. I thought we needed someone who really really wanted to be here, because recent history says-- you take this job, you end up fired-- if I was the hot new up and comer I would think long and hard before taking this job. With BS, he gets fired from IU-- Duke, UNC aren't coming calling, and the NBA bridge would probably be burned, at least at the HC level.
