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

This was my first thought. The people complaining about how he is speaking were just trying to find a reason not to like this. My first thought was if he was sitting in my living room, I'm gonna very comfortable sending my son off to campus with Coach Woodson as his father figure away from home. 

I also guarantee he’s exhausted from everything, emotional, and likely totally different when he’s not in front of press.

Call me a sucker, but I’m really buying what Coach Woodson is selling. My only real concern for him is that he’s 63. I think his NBA experience is only a positive, and I love having a coach who obviously understands how important this position is, and it’s so easy to see that it’s his absolute dream job. I’m looking forward to seeing a modern team. 

Well, look at the ages if our last two presidents (US). He could easily do this for 15 years if he stays healthy.

So basically we wanted Thad and failed the physical huh.. it's true?

I can't help but laugh how Jeff Goodman said Thad would have no interest in the IU job when he's a giant Hoosiers fan. Of course the guy would love to be a coach at one of his favorite teams. I'm really happy that he's a part of the program

For anyone curious about the "1-in, 4-out" offensive style that Dolson described Woodson as bringing:

Conspiracy theories are ridiculous

Not sure what the majority opinion is here but I think Woody has rocked this press conference. Clearly comes off as a players coach and one who can have a profound impact on their development as a player and as a person.

I’d be honestly shocked if he doesn’t retain a bunch of the portal guys, and I fully expect him to have pretty immediate success finding other transfers and high level recruits. Just seems like a good @$$, relatable dude.

We absolutely did not. And we sure as **** didn't have the skill set or talent for it.

Eh we were running two big men most of the year. Race was a non factor on the perimeter. I cannot wait until we have proper spacing.

Why would you think that?

I had completely forgotten about the Glen Grunwold connection until this press conference.  Another former player with extensive NBA experience.

Just without the shooters, and we had 2 post players on the court together.

Yes... poorly.

Just like a physician, the first rule is to do no harm. With Woodson, you can be assured he’ll do no harm to the IU basketball program. He loves it too much. He’s gonna be fine. Surround with the best people, lean on Matta as you learn the college landscape, it’s gonna work out. Just have a good feeling about Coach and this hire.

At least we don’t have to worry about Woody using technology to cheat

Hire Kelvin as an assistant. He'll get that s**t right!
