Woodson had repeatedly said this is his team. Fife can only do so much as an assistant. It’s not like Woodson is calling fife into his office and asking him what he should do 

Do you want a HC that says "well, I only drive the bus some nights. Some nights I let others drive the bus"... 

lol

The assistants have some input but Woodson has said it's his team.

I'm sure Fife has plenty of input. And what position do you think Fife is coaching more than anything.... yes, G....

To Crean’s credit he had the offense looking good often. Not against zones. And defense was literally optional. But offense was fire on many nights with his better teams.

To Creans credit he would get offensive players and some would choose to play D and we could be pretty good.  Guys can’t just choose be try harder and compensate for lack of offensive skills

No I don’t but that’s why your point about Fife is stupid.  He would run the ship differently.  We would not see multiple bench mobs a game with him.

This is really the key. Last time we hit on a good 3* and a 5* lived up to the billing were Vic and Zeller. Even that team had talent issues with athleticism. And their coach was an idiot. But they were a top 5 team. 
 

Anunoby was a 3 star.....294th in his class.  I'd say he fared pretty well.  Got hurt as a sophomore, but contributed immediately as a freshman on a team that won the Big Ten title.

This was likely a bad idea hiring one of our own. This base will turn on anyone who can’t get the job done. IU guy or not.  How’s that going to look when we all eventually sour on Woody? 
 
 

I’ve already soured. Nothing personal. But this was my thought when he was hired. It’s our final grasp. Each hire and job search losses steam. Program drops a level.

Money might talk. Gotta find a gray area coach that can network, and join the modern era of sports.

Next year projects to be ugly. Tougher schedule and no TJD. Missing 2 tournaments in a row and what 6 or 7 straight. Nail into coffin.

My God, just no.  That's "you kids got off my lawn" talk.

Race and Trayce the only two in double figures. 43 of our 69 points. They shot 15-21 from the field. The rest of the team shot 10-40. We need guards soooo bad.

When we get guards we’ll need help in our frontcourt.

We haven’t made a serious hire since Sampson. Then we got cold feet at the prospect of playing with the big boys and fired him

You talk like getting guards is guaranteed

[yogisballin 2,376]

Again, woody isn’t the guy. Terrible coaching. 

As bad as i hate to say it…

So true 

[IU - Kaulie 1,930]

It’s one game unless I’m missing something?  Disappointing loss sure but I thought we still had games left on the schedule to be played.

We haven’t won a game in February.  So no not one game

Well, at least you have IU's loss to keep you happy.

Dude, our entire bench sucked. 3-14. So which suck do you want more of. 

Our collective level of talent is just not that good. 

And G is just abysmal. XJ and PS aren't consistent at all. The young guys iffy at best, but I would like to see more PT now that the playoffs are looking out of reach.

There’sa reason for that. Crean literally gave up defense for speeding into transition on offense. Transition will always be high percentage.  
 

Any team that forced IU into a half court game by controlling the pace (Bo Ryan) or playing zone (syracuse/nw) beat Creans teams.  
 

I wouldn’t want him to coach offense here even if they promised to name the arena after me.

If you haven't figured it out yet, every game is a program referendum with our fanbase. It's what we do. This program's culture sucks and this is one of the byproducts. 

[chicagoHOOSIER 1,051]

We got wrecked by the refs on so many ticky/tac calls when we played much better on plays than the visitors to our hall played, but the visitors got fake turnover calls and fake called trips to the line against us over and over repeatedly even so in our own filled house, so much so, why even watch this sh@t? It is not entertainment to get @ss-wrecked by outsiders who play somewhat less than our home team but still win after hours watching because often the team that played a lot better than its opponent does not win in the league.

[colonel06 1,921]

In any event, at this pace we are looking at a full 3 seasons under our belt before we are in the hunt for a B1G title.
