Dane Fife leaves IU staff

This is one of many tweets mentioning this:

Well at first I was pretty upset by this, but you're a moron if you can't change your opinion when new information comes in.

Sounds like he deserved to be fired.

There are some folks on Twitter (FWIW) strongly implying this is related to politics. Like, national politics. January 6th kind of stuff.

And the fact that none of this leaked until now shows how tight a ship CMW runs.

Everything these days goes back to politics…. Ugh. Not basketball politics but real politics. Unfortunate and odd. Never a good idea to discuss religion or politics is probably the best rule of thumb but Covid policies changed that forever and believe me, I fully understand it.

 

If it’s not a fit, it’s not a fit. Not fair for anyone to be slandered for it. I’m so ready to move on. We’re embarrassing ourselves again.

It's not slander if it's true.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Yes it is. Trying to label him as some whacko conspiracy theorist pushing politics isn’t a necessary narrative whatsoever. Say, “we had differences of opinion” or whatever and be confident in your decision and move along. So dramatic.

Slander is by its very definition false and malicious. If he really was pushing politics then it's simply speaking the truth about events that occurred and not slander. Someone fairly reputable is reporting this.

And completely unnecessary.

The nice thing about the editing feature is that you can replace a silly thing you said in the heat of the moment.

Yeah, what trav said.  :)

All good so far but let’s not delve into whether or which political theories are acceptable.

Thanks

Is anything really necessary in the end? It's better for the program that this comes out so half the fanbase doesn't think he got fired for expressing his coaching opinions.

[Golfman25]

Yeah.  Checked some things out.  I'll read between the lines.  Root cause gentlemen -- Woody was, shall I say, "not appreciative" of the speculation that Fife was the Head Coach in waiting.  Any Fife "incidents" are looked at thru that lens.  Having his ex-NBA fellas around probably didn't help matters -- he and they are truly learning the college game.  He's not learning from the college guys -- Mata, etc.  Afraid to say, we may have a bit of a rough road ahead until the NBA guys get it figured out.  I hope not.

Whatever. With respect, you let the guy go and leave it at Woody’s public response. The gossip queen stuff and political nonsense isn’t necessary. Let the guy go forward with his dignity unless you intentionally want to tarnish him. Heck, he’s probably right about all the political stuff but it’s not the time or place for that stuff. He should know better. He got fired. Move along with class.

Lol. “Checked some things out”

And there it is! The real reason you're upset.

Everything is political. To pinpoint him is unfair.

Yeah.  then spill the beans.  Most is unverified nonsense.  The rest is verified nonsense -- tweets about the NIL, Offering some kid going to Purdue, something about the MSU student section.

No, but it is all slanted.  He is and always has been an IU PR arm.  That's why he deleted his tweet.  They told him to.  That's why he tried to say IU never contacted Holtmann when all the reputable journalists were saying otherwise.   He was covering for IU.

Actually it was very cryptic.  He actually said he wasn't going to divulge specifics.  Just a lot of "not a good fit" nonsense.
