So we have a guy who has never coached college basketball or recruited

and a guy who can barely walk up stairs AND hasn't coached or recruited in 4 calendar years.......

GIVE IT UP

Can we get Michael Lewis to come on as assistant coach too?

 

This whole time Dolson wasn't talkign to just one guy, he was building an entire departmental overhaul for IU basketball. This sounds very exciting. 

This is a culture change

Maybe Matta will be the coach in waiting

Woodson, placeholder for 3 years, and then enter Matta

I was happy with just Woodson.  This changes everything.

Let’s see what the rest of the staff looks like now.

[Southside]

I am more than OK with this pairing.

 

[Hoosierfan1901]

HSN crashed again

[Brass Cannon]

Did we hire a coach for our new basketball coach.

Is Matta on the staff though?!? What does associate AD mean...

[Hippopotamo]

Everyone loved the Archie hire and it was a disaster. Everyone hates the Woodson hire, which means?????

He's the DOBO basically, but not really. He'll be on the bench and he'll recruit via phone and back channels.

[IUfan_Charlie]

Welp. We shall see I guess... definitely not at the top of my list. Recruiting is gonna make or break this I think. He has to hire some grinders that will sit in gyms all summer. Could be worse I guess.

We hated the Crean and Davis hires too.

I'd be more comfortable (as if anybody gives a **** what I think) if we were able to bring in Lewis as associate head coach or top assistant. I'm know I'm preaching to the choir to many on that one ... 

Agree. Adding Matta is big. Adding Lewis or Fife would be awesome.

[HoosierAloha]

Pretty happy with Matta coming into the AD but will they let him play the game or will the administration restrict what allowed him to have success at O$U?!

Get it...”back” channels. Sorry...
