Two words: Coach Woodson.

The one year IU had a single good guard they were a top 30 offense.

But yeah, Mike Woodson.

And he still crapped the bed in the NCAAT.

Which is why significantly upgrading the back court is imperative lol. What do you think he’s doing right now?

Actually responding saying it’s not worth a response and referencing the thing not worth responding to in another response is a heck of a way to show something isn’t worth a response. :-)

Again I guess it's a debate of what we expect out of the program. You say top 30, I say that's not good enough.  Truth be told I'm more concerned about the defense.  I'll say this. If the perimeter defense is better guarded then my hopes are high that we'll have an ok season.

Why'd it take him 3 years to figure that out?

And TJD lol common dude. I’m not trying to shade JHS at all. But TJD in college would have dragged multiple teams to 20 wins. If you wanna give Woody credit for Trayce getting better at basketball, okay, but insert even a second team all conference player at the 5 and we don’t sniff the tournament.

Bet substantially on Xavier Johnson and it blew up in his face. Rice and Carlyle are no joke and only going to get better if their freshman years were any indication.

Would say the exact same thing about JHS. We had essentially the same team the year prior and needed a Herculean run to Saturday of the BTT finals to limp in as a play-in team. Works both ways.

I’m going to nominate you to give the speech when he gets inducted into the Hall of Fame. Sounds like his offensive mind is untouchable.

Appreciate it, but if you don’t understand the importance of guard play I’m not sure it’s even worthwhile to have this discussion. The one year in Woodson’s tenure where IU had a high functioning offense came in a year where IU had an elite guard. He’s had an elite front court every year.
 

But to insinuate that adding Rice and Carlyle isn’t anything but vastly upgrading the back court from any of the 3 previous seasons, well yeah it’s not worthwhile to continue any discourse.

Back to the mob mentality you go.

Bruh. We needed guards and shooting last year. Everyone knew it. It wasn’t a secret. We were all on board. Kinect, Timberlake, Ledlum, transition: boogie, literally any guard we recruited. They’ve all said no. Do you understand that Rajon Rondo doesn’t exist anymore? PGs are not interested in scoring zero points and having 15 assists. The NBA doesn’t pay guys who can’t score and only generate assists. Every player’s goal is an NBA contract and that requires scoring. If the offense runs primarily through dudes that are super tall, that lowers your chance at NBA money. We’ve missed on every guard we’ve recruited for two years, and if you think JHS is a lottery pick without TJD I’ve got ocean front property to sell in Arizona.

See this is where I have a problem. You’re over in the Fire Mike Woodson thread trying to convince every person how great we’re going to be. We are going to have to see it. I don’t care if you think you know more about offense than John Wooden. I don’t believe Mike Woodson has what it takes to win at a high level. Two kids who played in the PAC 10 transferring here isn’t changing my mind. I promise you I’ve been around this program a lot in the last 25 years. So you can tell me I don’t know basketball or I’m dumb but I’m not going to blindly follow our coach because we got a couple portal guys.

My group of ignored users has gotten pretty long this offseason.

I might take Steub off the naughty list soon though.

So the Fire Mike Woodson Thread is where all objectivity goes out the window?? Is that what you’re saying?

It’s where people vent about there displeasure for the coach so that it doesn’t bleed into other threads.  While it’s impossible for that to happen this thread does the best job to limit it happening. You don’t have to agree with it or like however it’s not going anywhere.   If you don’t like what’s in here I suggest ignoring it.
