I don't think anybody will argue we have taken a step or two back since crean. Crean wasn't winning enough or up to where we thought we should be. Competing for championships and I agree. But we suck way worse now. We're not competitive and that is sad

The issue is Crean should have never been extended in summer of 2012. PERIOD.

Honestly when it was close at the end, did anyone on this board think we were going to win? So predictable.

As good as Race and Trayce are, neither is remotely clutch.

I don’t even give a damn about senior speeches. 

[coonhounds 9,843]

Maybe we need to go back to an offensive minded coach. Have gone for defensive minds and the offense has been terrible.

Maybe someone who can coach both and win ball games. That's what I pray for. Not giving up on Woodson but it looks grim. That's being really kind. It looks really bad cause we have all seen this a few times now.

Excuses will be made, players outs, refs, lucky bounces, wind blowing against us, blah blah blah

We didn't put in the work over the summer, reinforce in the cupcake season, and have it drilled in by conference season. This loss stings because we should have had it but not taking care of business in games earlier set the stage.

Ditto for the individual games. Sure, we "haven't learned how to win" because we haven't learned how to play the right way. That goes for the first 4 minutes and the last 4 minutes. Maybe one year we'll figure it out and make the dance. Although, we do have a jabbers chance at purdoodo and in the Big 1.o tourney.

We'll shed some players, hype up the returning players for more than they are, and place any transfers or recruits on 1st team All-Big 1.o before they step foot on the campus. We'll be shocked when those weaknesses are glaring early in the season and we'll get to discuss who is a fan again. Good times!

Which ones?

I have a hard time believing we couldn’t have opened up the checkbook enough to get a proven college winner instead of some guy that got fired multiple times in the nba but it’s okay because he played here 40 years ago

Honestly I had an uneasy felling about 4-5 mins into the game! When TJD was the only one scoring and no one could hit the wide side of the ocean!

I truly hope that Woodson works out but if it doesn’t the hiring of Dolson will be a interesting milestone to look back on. Hire an AD without the preconceived notion we need an IU leading the basketball program will be something to look back on in hindsight which I have no doubt this board will do if Woodson flames out. Could have been interesting to consider where IU could have gone if that $10M offer for Stevens was truly a thing. Surely could have used some of that money for Beard, Oats or others on the wish list. Just stewing and considering my what ifs

None of those guys where comming.  Zero, zip, nada.  

[Hoosier Guy 7,750]

Just bad. I don’t know how IU just can’t get out of its own way. It’s pathetic. Maybe this program is dead

[Trish 12,429]

Race crying. 
 

He’s gone.

Look man, the Pope himself couldn't do much with these misfits.

Then keep going down the list, thus the “others”. Woodson wouldn’t even sniff this job to be honest if he didn’t play here and there being a large segment of the fan base hoping for an IU guy

I thought same as you but unfortunately these coaches need security to recruit at a high level. Need to extend but then pay the buyout if your sure it won't work out

We could not.  Who would it be and why?  IU is a "football school."

[HoosierX 1,742]

How many games have we lost this year when we were up by 10 or more at some point?

There wasn't an "IU guy" qualified, and didn't take much to see that; Dolson either didn't see that or didn't care, both of which are bad.

[RoadRage 2,426]

Did IU try to recruit Harper?

So would you have been happy with the next hot thing -- Porter Moser?  Nobody was comming here.  Face it.

I can tell you Beard certainly wasn’t going to end up here. His alma mater opened up and he still has family in Texas.
