Archie? Never heard of him. 

Sounds made up.

I don't remember, but he didn't succeed.

I'm still not sold on this hire, but I'm slowly buying in. Not a big fan of making a splash at a press conference. It's working with kids in practice and during games that matter. 

But now I'm starting to wonder: Why didn't we take a longer, harder look at Woody during any of our past vacancies? (I know Glass shot him down).

If nothing else, I'd feel very safe as a parent sending my kid to play for Mike.

Because his resume doesn't scream *HIRE ME*

It's extremely risky hiring this guy! We'll see if being an "Indiana" guy changes anything.

What is this "player development" he speaks of?  Maybe we should focus on something like that.

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? 

[Unexpectedflash]

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:
