Honestly not sure how this program ever gets fixed. Probably just going to have to get lucky somehow.

Tommy Crean is about to become a free agent. Lets give him a call!

Absolute trash. Even Dakich is having a hard time defending Woody on Twitter. The sky is falling.

It's more than just this game. After all the hype and hoopla of the hire, games started and you could see all the warts. The coaching hasn't done much to address those warts. We've had some good wins when a player went off or we caught teams at the right time. These players aren't as bad as they're playing.

I warned everyone prior to the season. 
 

DO NOT BRING IN PITTSBURG TRANSFERS! 

You're going to stereotype hundreds of Pittsburgh guards based upon your opinions of two?  That seems pretty simple minded.

[LamarCheeks 17,029]

Other than Rob's 3 to beat the PUs, we've been absolutely, dreadfully, painfully horrid in late-game clutch situations. 

Do we not practice that? I just don't get it. When we're in a tight situation, we are just hopelessly clueless.

Bring in multiple studs.  How they manage to do that, IDK, but this is a bottom 5 roster.

[Dillion 297]

Woody & Co. need to bulldoze this roster - toot sweet!

Woody and company need to take a look in the mirror as well! Having Stewart guard one of the better players each and every night is a disaster but yet we just keep doing it.

IMO IU basketball is actually dead if the “IU guy” plan didn’t work out. What will save us now?

Well I haven't completely given up on Woodson yet! Stressing the yet. I fear though we are seeing the end. Wasn't even remotely sure he was the right iu guy anyway from the start but that's doesn't matter it is who we have. Iu basketball died but when is the real question

IU HC is like a union gig. 
 
Doesn’t matter if you fall asleep during training and don’t do the work.  Your gonna be around a long time 

I don't see how you can put this on woodson. Layups and free throws, not a player on this team with touch around the rim. No basketball IQ on this team and no heart.

I wrote this in the women's thread the other day -- but it's true: Grace Berger is the most skilled player wearing an IU basketball uniform. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,045]

An entirely new staff but same players and the same exact results. Cursed.

3 new starters, but yeah. Players make the coach more than the other way around. We have a point guard that can’t shoot or make layups.
A scoring guard that can’t get open and can’t guard anyone. We have a small forward that provides nothing. A hard working 4 that is offensively limited and maybe undersized and an undersized All-American 5 who is generally very good but matchup dependent. IQ is awful. Always make the wrong decisions in crunch time. Always.

Remember when we were up 2 with a dead shot clock and left the B1G POTY wide open for a dunk? That kicked ass.

Who do you think is supposed to teach basketball and inspire heart

Truth.  But how do you practice pressure situations like that?  It's frustrating.

Like always, it’s on both. Race on that last play was a lost puppy. 
 

But Woodson 100% should’ve called a timeout to pretend to draw something effective up. This isn’t the NBA in 2013 with Melo. This is Indiana Basketball with Tamar Bates throwing up a heave shot. 

[NashvilleHoosier 3,639]

3:47 seconds. I think that might be a record for how little time it’s taken me to stop caring after a loss. This team has finally disgusted me into apathy. 1 more win is beginning to seem like a stretch.

Have we tried hiring a good basketball coach. By my count we hired one since knight and we chased him off faster than the ones who couldn’t coach

What even is this garbage of a product that’s supposed to be basketball? I turned it on (against my better judgment) for the last 2 minutes of regulation and overtime, and it couldn’t have looked worse. I know the talent isn’t great, but am I supposed to believe the coaching is anywhere near competent?

What this team lacks in talent they make up for by being dumb.  
 

I really, really miss having smart basketball in an IU jersey. I’d rather be scrappy and know how to play than this. I checked out for 10 min or so and can’t fathom that I missed a single thing worth watching.
