Fire Coach Woodson Thread

[Hornsby 1,651]

So from I am gathering now, Dakich is saying IU caught a break with ‘prep school’ McNeeley decommiting because  ‘Woody can turn it into a positive’,  says that woody handled his press conference today ‘perfectly’ because he ‘doesn’t owe the media anything.  **** Dakich.

Yep the old we didn't need him anyway post. I was wondering who would be the first to post that one.

You're killing me Smalls. I made a conscience effort to stay away from this board after all of the shenanigans. And now I have to decide whether to post a Sandlot, Soprano's, or Super Troopers gif (we all know @Home Jersey is pulling for the Soprano's "Just when I thought I was out" gif). You are the devil.

Naples is across the state from Boca.

Someone start a rumor to get people talking. It's Friday I want to go home from work, drink a beer, and speculate with everyone

[Home Jersey 6,597]

Most of you will think I am insane for this (newsflash: I am) but I took it upon myself this morning to very simply email Dolson, the executive assistants, and Jeremy Gray: 

Subject line: Indy Star Confirmation

Body: The story cited an Athletic Department source, but Scott Dolson's name was notably not included. Can you confirm that this story is accurate and does Scott plan to put out a statement? [Signature redacted].

No auto response, not that I was really expecting to get an answer to my question anyway.

I would bounce due to the fact that I worked my A$$ off to bring in a much needed 5* wing and my head coach pissed all over it.

Yeah, I wouldn't do it for IUPUI though.

Hell, lets consider him for the IU job at this point.  :)

Another plane left Clark Co airport heading for Boca Raton earlier. Is that the Pfau’s going from their home in Southern Indiana to their Florida home? Or is that us going to talk to Dusty? I don’t know :-)

Multiple outlets (IDS, etc.) confirmed the report with an unnamed athletic department spokesperson. So the idea that the announcement is all just one unconfirmed leak isn't right.

That having been said, the entire matter couldn't have been handled more strangely, so that does naturally invite skepticism about whether that announcement is the final word, especially as circumstances continue to unfold.

But the report was confirmed.

I want a source.  Without a name attached to it, it is worthless -- plausible denial.

I don’t see anyone disputing this at all, maybe I’m missing something. The point was nobody spoke about it on the record, and there’s only a small # of people with the power to confirm he’s coming back.

Not going on the record is a choice. Why would, for example, a staff member in the AD make that choice? Probably because things could change.

I was responding to the post immediately above mine. Should have quoted it.

Well sports fans here it is, the infamous late Friday bad news dump.

IU release:  Effective with the 2024-2025 basketball season, Indiana University's basketball team will no longer be called Hoosiers.  Our new nickname will be the Indiana University Donor Dollars.

God forbid the media members do their job and try to reach out to Buckner to answer for this horrible outlook. 

I'd actually like to see that exchange...

Ah, tis the season for coaching changes. Washington removes their HC effective after the season concludes. 
 

Come on Dolson, hop on the train! 

[kreigh8 2,019]

So are we back to wondering if Woodson can recruit?

[HoosierMoore 296]

HA!  Upset this wasn't my idea!

As the fearless leader of this board's IUBB Q/StuAnon movement, I'll indulge your request.

If the Athletic Department has made a decision, stands to reason the Athletic Department would have set up an auto-response confirming the Indy Star story published two days prior, which surely plenty of fans will be asking about/voicing their thoughts on?
