From the Guyton interview Coach Woodson mentions that Bruce's cafe was his favorite restaurant while he played here.  As someone who was born in Bloomington (76) and has lived here almost all of my 45 years, I don't think I  ever ate at Bruce's Cafe. Does anyone else remember that place? What were they known for? CMW said they had great pastries. 

Oh yeah. I remember it well. Through most of its years, it was only open from 3:00 AM until 3:00 PM. That made it really popular with bar employees, musicians and third shift workers. Great place, great food, great prices, but most of all GREAT PEOPLE. The place was a treasure.

Bruce's was the best breakfast place in town, especially convenient after a very late night.

Had not seen this posted yet...a short interview with an Indianapolis TV station:

(65) One-on-One with new IU Head Coach Mike Woodson - YouTube

Thought this quote was funny. "there are no gimme's, you have to come ready to play for 48 minutes"

lol Archie couldn't get his guys to play 30 minutes of a 40 minute game and Woody is like hell, you need to play 48 minutes of a 40 minute game! Ill take it.

Another funny quote....

Rich bozich asks Woody about the type of defense IU will play and mentions how they played the packline the last few years. 

Woody responds with "first of all, I keep hearing this packline.... what is that?"

Bozich: uhh, we don't know.

From  Woody's comments, it didn't sound like he's had all that much contact with the team, other than a little 1:1 personal contact in his office. Too bad, as the guys need all the time they can get from Coach on how to personally develop and learn the system.

It's ironic that high school kids can play AAU ball all summer, get coaching all summer, and yet college kids have to wait until June 10th to even "see" the coach from on official standpoint.

LOL! Confirmation that the "pack line" is some minor league gimmick defense. I think we'll see a well coached, tight man defense.

I love how he talked about recruiting the best players in the country rather than limiting himself to an inside out approach.  That was my favorite part

Easy.  We PACK it up to head home after getting lit up behind the 3 pt LINE.

Play "hard-@$$" defense, gang rebound, bring it down and have fun.

What kid doesn't want to be a part of that?

[Chris007 44,066]

Spoke to one of the coaches, he said he really likes this roster. Said there is a lot of talent on it, now it is up to the coaches to get them to perform at a high level. Said he is excited to get everyone on campus next week and start to see the pieces being put together. Also he is very happy to be back in Bloomington.

Also if you are in Bloomington and need a vaccine, Assembly Hall is a great place to go. Took my stepson today in and out in no time.

Even better, it allegedly takes players 2-3 years to 'master' it if they ever do.

Really good read with quotes from his IU tutor when he arrived on campus and how he went from a young man of very few words to one today who routinely speaks confidently and assuredly to huge audiences.

That story is a really nice read on part of the development of Coach Woodson. I was just listening to Coach's pre-Illinois media talk with ITH and thinking just how much I love listening to Woody answer questions from the media. He is just so d*** likeable!
