A good young guy who is hungry on the recruiting trail is what IU needs and will probably get. I like when someone does a good job they get promoted. Are you saying Walsh has been promoted to full assistant coach? Lot's of "buzz" that he's a real "up & comer". NVFalcons1990 1 Quote

WayneFleekHoosier Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 I guess so. I mean getting Gabe Cupps is a nice get and all but he's lower level top 100 kid. I always hear people propping him up that he was going to leave to take a gig so I guess there's that. Do we want to contend for 5 star kids or try to win with the right 4 star guys? I think this goes to answer that question. Then Ya? Alford Bailey 1 Quote

He gets a raise and stays or decides he wants to reunite with a former mentor. I know that Woodson has told him that he really wants him to stay and they are working on that. Randy Wittman as the offensive coordinator. I'm up and down on this. Ups is he is the one who talked Woodson into doing more pick and rolls with X & TJD. He also installed plays to get wide-open looks for Stewart and Kopp. He was around the NBA for years I think he knows basketball. I think he can really help with our off-season workouts, especially shooting. He knows how to teach shooting. The downside is he fully invested? 62 years old has a retirement home in Florida, does he want to be all in here in Bloomington. Another downside is he has never recruited. Most high school kids don't relate really well to a 62-year-old white dude. But maybe he just recruits the state of Indiana or something like that. As far as downsides for Randy, I can't help but think of this clip from his NBA days: Edited March 25, 2022 by IGotMeAWoody HoosierAloha and Hovadipo 2 Quote
Uspshoosier Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Just for reference this info is coming from Eric from the Hysterics who posted something earlier in the day about Walsh and Cupps. Nothing official but he definitely dropped a hint IUc2016, ALASKA HOOSIER and Class of '66 Old Fart 1 2 Quote

I beleive Woodson saw the specualation of Fife as coach in waiting as a distraction to the program. And since he wasn't listening to the college guys, he fixed the problem. The fact that he isn't using Mata for his knowledge is a concern. The problem with the NBA guys is they have to learn the college game. It may take a while. So if you're a potential assistant, do you have some reservations? Especially if your a good one. Ding ding ding! The hammer has hit the nail!!!! I’ve been a big supporter of CMW but there is a lot of stuff that doesn’t add up! I say right the wrong and try to hire Keith Smart away from Arkansas! Quote

Why have assistants if they aren’t being listened to? Why have stats if they are being ignored? Ding, ding, ding! Another hammer hitting the nail! Again, something isn’t adding up! Quote

Where there is smoke, there is fire! Well, sort of. One scenario has some limited objective evidence plus reporting. But maybe that evidence is taken out of context and the reporting is biased. The other scenario has …. complete guesses? But maybe those guesses are right. We clearly don’t know what Fife left, and I still wouldn’t rule it “he’s a good coach but a bad fit for reasons that aren’t anyone’s fault” as the most likely reason. raorIU 1 Quote

It’s mostly likely a good coach and bad fit! It was stated that CMW didn’t like the fact that Dolson hired Matta and he darn sure mostly likely didn’t like Dolson hiring an assistant for him! I am starting to think CMW maybe a total control freak! Quote
