Maybe this wasn't a bad miss when the dad is agreeing with Dakich. Tyme and I are on the same page here. I can see his post again.

Came here to see if that has been shared. Yikes.

His dad had made a similar like to a post that was anti-Woodson last spring in terms of his son not getting 'enough attention' from Woods on.  And whether you agree with it or not (it's not like people haven't said on here that Woodson doesn't pay enough attention to recruits), as a father of a recruit you keep your damn business off of social media.

Yea, he's got some helicopter vibes to him.  I do think Braylon having some distance and a tough coach will be good for him though.  I don't think personalities were ever gonna match with staff and family here.  Maybe a bit of a Dane Fife type overlap.  

And, I'm not against Dane or Dakich (as much as others), but there needs to be a match between player/family/staff.

Yeah, some things are being said behind the scenes. 

I know it is DD but did Woodson just kind of blow by Pat in the handshake line or was there something else?  As much as Woody was back in town and close to RMK I cannot believe he would not know who Pat was.  Not defending Woody here at all but curious as to why this is even being discussed unless it is just DD spouting.

They have known each other for years. Just a few weeks ago, they took a trip together to the Basketball Hall of Fame when RMK was honored.

This narrative that Woody is some kind of “bad guy” kinda pisses me off.

Criticize his coaching? Sure, I get it completely. But anything other than a personable guy that cares deeply about IU, its fans, and its history? That’s a bunch of crap to me.

He’s not a “bad guy” in the Chris Beard “bad guy” sense, and no one has said otherwise. But the way he’s acted in the media/public eye, combined with the way he allegedly behaves behind closed doors, does not paint the picture of a “personable guy that cares deeply about IU, its fans, and its history.” Rather, it paints the picture of a guy who loves Mike Woodson along with only those people who love Mike Woodson as much as Mike Woodson loves Mike Woodson. Anyone else is beneath him and unworthy.

Yeah, there are fair shots and there are unfair shots.  DD is the master of unfair shots.  It's why he isn't on ESPN anymore.

Meh. Literal politics played a huge part in this. Dakich and Sage Steele both had enough of ESPNs ways and likely vice versa.

I think sage got sideways with political differences but DD was regularly going after people on twitter while at ESPN and became too much of a liability.  Too bad because when he first started doing games he was good.

Interesting Mullins dad was brought up here. My lunch buddies wife is a teacher in Greenfield and he just said last week the parents were a problem. Evidently the kid got a car along with the money and use of a private jet.

Maybe the kid was too good to be true. 5 star skill or not a toxic parent is a risk of poisoning a player or team. Had I known that previously I wouldn't have been as high on getting him.

Well, I don't think his parents would've needed access to a private jet if he played in Bloomington.  Anywho,  there are two players in college basketball:  players who play at IU and players who don't.  Focus on the ones at IU and wish the others well unless they are playing IU.

I would say that parents asking that their 18 year highly talented kid gets a ton of compensation (maybe more than they are worth) is the norm and not the exception.  Ke'lel Wares are always going to be out there -- kids who asked and got the world (at Oregon) and it didn't pan out and they move on.

It's not even about compensation. He would've gotten more than he needed from us, and as far as I know it was more than UConn.

My post was solely regarding parents. We've seen what the toxic ones do and what they're capable of. Dad already joining in (with Dakich of all people) on barbs taken at the now-opposing coach who recruited your family until the end is a terrible look. Had Braylon not been as highly touted as he is, it's the kind of thing that can affect your son's experience. Hopefully it was just a one-off thing on dad's part. Braylon will be fine. It's just a bad look and as a parent, why would you chance it?

It wasn't a one off thing -- I believe he had liked a post/tweet last spring about Woodson not paying enough attention to recruits during last year's sectional.  That obviously didn't stop IU recruiting him.  I'm just saying that didn't stop IU from recruiting him.

Can interfering parents effect the team?  Sure.  Logan Duncomb grandmother and CJ Gunn's father (I believe) seem to do talking on social media/in the background when their kids weren't playing.  It probably does hurt more if it's a parent whose kid is an integral part of the team.  I think Bronny being at USC hurt them last year.

Ask his players how he acts behind closed doors. By all accounts, they love him.
