Mike Woodson and His Coaching Staff

Larry Brown knows all about the college recruiting game. I’m down for it.

That’s why he wouldn’t be doing anything but advising on basketball. Matta will have a say on the recruiting and Larry would never touch that.

On the one hand he wouldn't be bad advisor, and if it's non recruiting his issues may be mitigated.  On the other he's 80 so he might have literally forgotten more about the game than most people would ever know.

Hunter

Lewis/ Fife

Adams

Thats a rock solid staff.

Would he stay within the parameters of what he was hired to do?  Honestly, I'd be concerned with him trying to worm/weasel his way into a larger role and then do we start running afoul of the NCAA if he oversteps?  I'm definitely against this idea.

I hope with Woodson’s reputation in NYC, that we get a good recruiter for that hotbed of talent. Pitino used to raid NYC, time for IU to take advantage of that recruiting ground.

WTH?

I've watched his shows a couple of times. Pretty good if you like to watch those types of shows

A boy can dream.

Out of the 3, give me one old evil doer, and 2 young hot shots.

Yes, Brown is old these days and there’s fair reason to question what his impact would be on IUBB, but I love that Dolson and Woodson are seeing this transition as a huge culture shift and one that represents an increased focus on the NBA within our own program. All the top programs, UK, Duke, KU, etc. seem to have much better NBA connects and a more professional culture surrounding their program.

Nice to see IU finally realize that hard nosed, mid-major coaches who play by the rules won’t get it done anymore.

They'll have NBA connections, we'll have 1980s NBA connections.  Oh, Brown was ABA too.

Larry Brown’s turned around more teams than IU has failed coaches. I don’t know what he does at 80 freaking years old to help, but hot damn is the guy a basketball lifer. I kind of respect him trying to get back to the court one last time. 

[Stuhoo 79,639]

To be of real help at 80 would be a big outlier.

Artis Gilmore isn’t walking through that door?  :)

Larry Brown has had the single strangest aging process known to man.  He looks exactly the same now as he did 30 years agoo.  But take a look at him in this 1973 picture:

Matta is up there too in strange aging,  he’s been 63 since he was 37, but still only actually 54

Regardless of appearance I’m not sure why people would be against having another great basketball mind near the team...it’s a no lose situation

Gotta give it up to a dude who coaches in overalls (and I'm talking basketball; not hog tyin')
