We're back on the fired, retiring wagon today

I'm more relying on Woodson not having a plan and Dolson going we have to get Dusty May

It seems the plan is that they have better contacts with agents now plus more NIL $ and are confident they are going to land even better players from the portal.  Woodson and the staff have had success with these short term recruitments but has not had success evaluating his teams needs.  So I think there will be a plan presented and unless they get into the weeds on which positions, which style of play and how to build long-term Woody will be able to show enough for next year not to get fired.  Dolson has to look past the short term side of this and evaluate the long term health of the basketball team.

It just baffles my mind that instead of spending money on getting a good coach now for the future, certain people would rather just spend money to help Woodson try to cover up his flaws as a coach by essentially buying him a team to try to make him look good. Just ridiculous and pathetic. Especially with the way Woodson acts. Get him the heck outta here.

I know you get bombarded with questions, so sorry to add on.

Are you saying you think next year won't be good enough to justify a fifth, or he walks away no matter what after next year?

IU will have to make a decision next year.   You can’t have a coach with 2 years remaining on a contract going into a recruiting cycle without an extension or plan to move on.   We all know the jokes about Woody not recruiting high school kids but no program should go into year 5 without extending a coach or making it clear you are moving on.   In my opinion next year will be his last year regardless of results.  If Woody gets a year 5 he is going to get an extension which in my opinion would be a program killer decision.  He could make a sweet 16 next year and the right move would be moving on.  Should be this year but it is what it is

Lose tonight and I don’t see how a move isn’t made

I think he's done no matter what after next season. That is just my opinion with a little of what I have heard mixed in. 

Just my two cents...but with no 2024 recruits and no 2025 recruits and IF next season was his last season, why let him coach this season. Like there is no reason to give him another.

The check has already been deposited so who do we want spending the money, Woodson or Pearl or May

Haha, I like this wagon. Way more comfortable ride to me, if I say so myself.

Was it deposited based on having Woody though?  If not then Pearl first with May a close 2nd.

It feels like the old days again. You know like last week before the announcement was made.

Pearl. I'm afraid Woodson is dreaming about how many bigs it'll get.

There was miscommunication. We didn't realize the check was just for Woody but no refunds

I'm relying on Woodson not having a plan. Hilarious, yet scary because it's probably true. My plan is to get us over the hump.

We're back.  Thanks for the copium Chris.

I’m sorry everyone for making this comment.  No matter what happens in that meeting, MW will be back next year as our, like it or not!  I don’t like it myself but that is what is going to happen.  Also, I don’t know what the total infatuation with Dusty May is.  I’ve said this before and stand by it, I want to see more from Dusty May before we hire him as out next coach.  I still would rather have a proven P5 coach over him.  I definitely am not a Quinn Buckner supporter but I agree with him if he views Dusty May as possibly Archie Miller 2.0.  This program needs to get this hire right, and if we have another Archie Miller, it could set us back at least 10+ years and my life ain’t getting any shorter.  We need to start winning now and with a proven P5 coach.

The key word in your comment is "we".  "We" as in people on BTB have a completely different opinion than the "we" who are making the decisions.

Buckner was a horrid coach that got fired after 1 year. If he doesn't like May it tells me we should stay far far far away or send a Uhaul to Florida.

I have heard he's not thrilled with Woodson for his senior talk. 

Yes I left out some good bullet points

His speech was a **** show. Literally cursing. From what I gathered, this senior day was not a good one.
