Awesome news!!!

[Stuhoo 75,522]

Woody didn’t necessarily start with guys he was comfortable with.

He has now clearly stated these three are his guys.

[IUc2016 6,915]

one thing this confirms for me (as much as it can be) is that it was just Fife who Woody wasn't listening to, or at least it was only Dane who had an issue with it.

Seems that the rest of the staff was vibing and it wasn't Woody going rogue all year with his old buddies.

Hmmm. Well at least this seems to imply Ya will be sticking around.

I’m into it. Walsh is a good dude, pretty awesome first true coaching gig for him. 

[Chris007 42,024]

I think I tried to buy some of Walsh's IU gear on Facebook marketplace at this time last year and now he's an assistant.

Dustin Dopirak:  Brian Walsh, it should be noted, convinced Woodson to continue Indiana's pursuit of Gabe Cupps. The Cupps family drove to Bloomington just so it could surprise Walsh with the news of Gabe's commitment in person.

Definitely good news with Ya and Hunter back, and sounds like Walsh earned his stripes 

— Also I like continuity of the staff, for the current players and recruits, and yes, for peace of mind for us fans

This rocks, good for Walsh, and keeping Ya and Hunter is big.

Funny story about him.  During his first year I was at Archie’s first kids camp with my son and family.   After the camp you can go down on the floor and get autographs and talk with the players and coaches.  While the long for autographs was long I went over to him in the middle of the court and introduced myself and told him I knew who he was and started talking hoops.  I told him I was glad he was a Hoosier and that this place would get loud and crazy.  I warned him it would be way louder then Dayton even though Dayton is a great place to watch a game.   Then out of no where my newborn daughter decided to pee through her diaper and all over mid court at assembly hall.   The look on his face was priceless.  Now he is an assistant coach.   Good times

I love it. A couple young guys in Ya and Walsh make our coaching staff so much more relatable to this current generation. I imagine our recruiting is going to take off the next couple years

No one in IU gear has made it rain in Assembly Hall like that since.

Congrats to Walsh, Ya, and Hunter on the promotions! Let's hope it's smooth sailing from here!!

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,723]

Seems everyone is happy. Good chemistry is most important, I suppose.

So hopefully this is addition by subtraction because it surely isn’t addition by addition.

Did we get an advantage in any recruiting circles with this move or improve our player development program?

Probably would've lost Ya without going in-house on the 3rd assistant spot. Losing Ya could've been devastating with access to the south and potential loss of Jakai Newton for 2023.

[Hoosierfanyuh 1,837]

Loving this move. Lets go!

[Bowhunter 2,645]

I’m a little Surprised. Not saying it’s bad, just thought we might go for bigger name with big connections. Maybe Walsh is, I just never heard much on his background.

[Mopladysman 277]

Promotions for the guys that don’t know how to get guys open shots.  Yeehaw.

This seems like the biggest “addition” so to speak.
