I'm not saying he should care. But he would still have an expectation on how he felt this would be received. 

Obviously he won’t, but I’d be fascinated to hear Dolson really take us through his process and how he arrived at his priorities. Clearly he prioritized history far more than I, at least, expected. And he was apparently unconcerned by zero college coaching experience of any kind. Not being critical of it, but I’m curious to know how, or if, his profile evolved.

I'm closing in on 73, so I'm guessing that puts me squarely in 'blue' hair territory. But I also know I have lived a good life and I don't feel entitled in any way. I say let the young folks have their time. I get almost as much pleasure watching kids have fun as I do having fun myself.

We need more folks like you with seats on the floor!

Any eyes at AH from news media, etc since it was known Woody was meeting with the team?

I drove by as the players were walking out. Everyone looked defeated, frustrated, shaking their heads. I think I saw Rob throw a water bottle at Scott Dolson. 
 

Then I woke up.

After some drinks I’ve gone from warming up to the Woodson hire to fully ecstatic about it. LFG Woody, glad we got somebody whose dream job it is to coach here!

 

Edit: I love the Woodshed idea too. Hopefully the team gives the students something to cheer for.

Honestly, I'm good in the balcony just watching everything happening below me.

The balcony gets such a bad rep. Yes, getting up there is horrible, but it’s an awesome place to watch basketball and, like you said, the crowd. Especially during big games.

I honestly don't think he cares.  He really believes in Woody, I'm guessing!

I'm sure he doesn't care, just wondering what he was expecting. He had to have had an expectation.

I have my thoughts on this if you care. Stevens was plan A. Woodson and Matta was plan B. Woodson IU ties, Matta health make them great together. That was the search 

Wait. I read from an impeachable authority that we went after Holtmann. So it must be true.

Having watched the great Nate oats now a couple times, he basically spreads them out and has his guys go one on one like every other coach. 
 

I find it hard to believe Woody is going to be at some big Xs and Os disadvantage in today’s college game.

It’s the 5 out offense, find the mismatch, beat your guy off the dribble. 3 point shots or in the paint. The rest are bad shots.

Love this. F*** the Nat’l media for saying we settled on this search.

Scott is risking his career and the future of Indiana Basketball.

I like the confidence. We’ll see where the program is in three years - four years.
