I wouldn't be surprised if someone makes a run at May after this year.

Oh Woody should without be looking for a new staff after this season. But I don't trust he'd get anyone who he feels knows more than him.
AZ Hoosier Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 I'm honestly curious what these guys do in practice. We don't have elite talent, but we have enough talent to not be so bad at so many things. I do remember RMK benching the starters more than once for a game and playing walk-ons and “end of the bench” players because he was pissed at the lack of effort. Maybe it’s time for that. It’s definitely time for Dolson to put on his big boy pants and deal with this crap … maybe a “come to Jesus” meeting with Woody. And after sleeping on it, I am of the opinion that X should be done as a Hoosier basketball player. His F2 foul last night was an incredibly cheap shot, and should absolutely NOT be tolerated by this coach, his teammates and this university. ALASKA HOOSIER and thebigweave 1 1

We help off so much and go for every block at the rim that it seems like we’re oblivious to the existence to the 3 point line. Its no coincidence teams light us up from distance.
Home Jersey Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 UConn would've pieced up Rutgers by about 50 yesterday. Any good team, really. It's laughable how many shots they missed and how many missed opportunities we blew. It was a very physical game but we just had no semblance of intensity. Looking an awful lot like an 18 win season if we're lucky at this rate... Stuhoo 1
bigrod Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 I've been a fan and watched IU basketball since the early 80's. Admittedly, my memory isn't what it used to be, but I don't ever remember being as thoroughly disappointed as I was last night. This team is totally lost. They don't have anything to hang their hat on when times get tough. There is really nothing they do exceedingly well. What is this team's strength? As has been the case for the last several years, the roster construction is totally flawed. When was the last time we had really good guard play? This team is not good enough offensively to let opponents get second and third chances every possession because they refuse to put any effort into blocking out and rebounding. This team has talent, but they just can't seem to effectively utilize it. At a certain point, that has to fall on coaching and/or lack of accountability.

BleedCubbieBlue Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 I would legitimately like to know how much coaching CMW actually does. Didn't we find out last year that the assistant coaches take turns doing the scouting and developing the game plan? If that is the case, do the assistant coaches also determine the substitution patterns or does CMW make all of the in-game decisions. I think it would be interesting to know what the actual division of labor looks like.
