That's an oversimplified look at judging the 1st season. I don't consider it an A or even B level season for the team and coaching staff. But for a program that hasn't made a tournament since 2016, beat purdue/michigan in 10 tries, or even won multiple games in the BTT, you have to see it as real progress and something to build off of. Of course they choked in several late game situations and underwhelmed against St. Mary's, but if they weren't able to keep the staff together, there was a real chance of regression going into the following seasons. Woodson may end up being a failed hire within the next few years, but the results of this season don't push him closer to that position.

Losing Ya could've been devastating with access to the south and potential loss of Jakai Newton for 2023. So you're saying that if we wouldn't have promoted from within that Ya was going to leave? What would be the reasoning behind this? lillurk 1 Quote

coonhounds Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 We got whooped by 30 points In Round 1. Bring on the raises. This is sad but totally true. The season as a whole for iu standards these guys should give money back. Hopefully they ear.

I'm guessing IU had to go cheaper on the 3rd assistant financially to reallocate those funds to promoting Ya/Hunter to Associate HC's. Edited March 25, 2022 by vemmeistars Quote

It is what it is.The best Indiana talent doesn't fit those needs most years, so I'm good with the status quo right now. If he fails, I'm all aboard changing philosophies and going with Michael Lewis, Shrewsberry, Gard protoge, someone from Purdue, etc. MemphisHoosier, thebigweave, lillurk and 2 others 5 Quote
