I hate to break this to everyone but it goes much further than the coach of the team. There needs to be some issues ironed out above the coach and AD. I guess if we landed the right coach there could be a sliver of hope they could do it in the environment that is Indiana University but I wouldn't count on it.

I get that for roster construction and getting the Jimmys and Joes. But we’ve got people handling the Xs and Os in a way that the authors of basketball for dummies weren’t prepared to help

The provosts and BOT are behind this team not being able to communicate on pick and rolls?

I mean…in the grand scheme of things…yes. The person(s) at the top are responsible for everything. That is the essence of leadership.  
 

Do I expect the BoT to conduct a seminar on talking during switches? No. But they oversee the guy who hires the guy who hires the guy that is in charge of making sure we communicate on screens. 
 

So…

The people that run IU athletics are incompetent in comparison to other P5 schools. And since athletic competition is a zero sum game, comparison to your peers is all that matters. 
 

We’re talking revenue sports here.

If Mike Woodson hadn’t played basketball at IU ~40 years ago would we have even considered him for the job? Among Big 1.o coaches, where does Woody rank?

Among Big 1.o programs, where does IU rank? Not in terms of fan support or fan money but with the AD emphasizing their programs. How many times has it come up that coach X wouldn’t listen to IU because of the administration? I believe it’s happened at least twice. Where there’s smoke there’s fire.

How can we not land a stud coach? What has the admin done in the past two decades that has pushed us ahead (not caught us up to the middle of the Big 1.o)?

They’ve been more focused on making deals which result in $$$. Those pretty buildings around campus didn’t build themselves. They made deals to get them built.

Good teams don’t hold onto to coaches once it’s clear they won’t succeed. The giving coaches years to drag the program further into the depths is why we are here 

 

Can anybody honestly see a vision where are improved next year.  If JHS has a brain he’s gone. Xavier is gone. Race is gone. Trayce is gone.  

Where is JHS going?   Northwestern was supposed to be bottom of Big.  Future forecasts and predictions are BS.

know this will come off sappy and probably a little pathetic.  This last week I have been looking at myself and not liking my attitude or what I see of myself.  I am really working on my faith and trying to be a better person. So the first thing I need to do is to apologize to anyone on here I have offended over the years. The thing I need to work on is accepting that other people will have different opinions than mine and there is nothing wrong with that. Everyone has the right to their opinion and mine are no better than anybody else.

None of us are right or wrong with how we fill about things and who am I to question anybody's opinion on any subject. Over the years I have acted like I knew more about IU and my opinion is the only right opinion . 

I really thinking about this today after the game where I was disappointed in our loss.  Driving to my son's house in Plainfield to pick him up for the Pacers game. I told myself not to let the outcome of the game to ruin my time with my son. Got to his house and got to see my two granddaughters and it just brought a new perspective for me. There is no reason an outcome of a sporting event should ever effect my mood.  I have no influence on what happens on the court or field and did nothing to prepare for the game.  I just sit on my fat butt on the couch watching others play sports.

I know the ridicule about this post will come but I wanted to get this off if my chest. 

Go Hoosiers
