Problem is this is more than a "backslide."  0 for 31.  

Yep, that’s mentioned in the article. Like I said, the guy provides a fair take. Doesn’t sugarcoat but also doesn’t badmouth.

Worth the read if you can find it

Please please please let us be “mystery team,” not sure who the other candidates would even be to get his attention? Like if you can choose UL or UM who else is even getting to the table?

It was behind a paywall but I tried. I am pretty objective and you can see that the program is on shaky grounds. The year 3 collapse would be more tolerable if we had some promising H.S. recruits coming in.  
 

The staff could build a team strong enough to get into the NCAAs next year if a lot of things go our way, but then what?  Woodys age and the lack of H.S. kids coming creates a lot of reasonable concerns for the short, medium and long term health of the program

They should be! I’d be surprised if they had the juice to get to the end of the line even if the $ is there, just clearly a much worse job than these by like two orders of magnitude

It’s amazing how one person can just wreck a board for everyone else. I think NGW is back….or at least a family member for sure.

It's funny....everytime someone claims to have played some sort of "high level" college sport around here and then are asked what and where we get crickets.

I keep thinking about IU telling the NIT that we wouldn't be interested in an invite.  This is really concerning to me.  I heard Calipari on the radio today. He was asked about if the players were playing for their NIL.  He gave an answer, which could be coach speak, about his team enjoys playing with one another and they want to keep the season going as long as possible.  Evidently, that wasn't the case with IU's players or the coaching staff.  Under Knight, our goals were to win a Big Ten Title, and if invited win an NCAA title or NIT title.  Under Woodson and Dolson, our program is such a mess that we wanted the season to end.  The program is being mismanaged. 

I became a fan in the early seventies as a young teen and was an avid follower of college basketball (not USPS avid, but who is) with my street & smith's & sporting news publications.

I remember in the early 80's looking down on teams that celebrated wildly just for making the tourney.  Now we're one of those teams. Few traditionally elite basketball schools have fallen so far and for so long.  We're headed toward SF Dons territory.  It won't be fixed without bold moves.

I’ve watched about 100 games of Mike Woodson coached basketball. And the best way i can articulate it in this day and age is : Mid

And trending downwards.

It's actually worthless.  If your only measurement is making the tournament, then yeah Mediocre Mike is in a team picture with a bunch of guys.  If you're concerned more about the processes used to build a foundation and sustain success over multiple years, then Mike gets a gigantic F-.

Still could not get in. Did they address how Woodson himself said they fell short last year? Or about how he stated his goal was to win the BT and national titles?  
 

He isn’t progressing towards winning BT and national titles. Especially with no recruits yet.

Major props to @steubenhoosier

He has a different take than many, but he has adjusted his posting style when back and forth-ing those that frequently don’t agree with him.

FIGHT AGAINST GROUP-THINK!!  :)

I feel the ice melting and @steubenhoosier’s point of view getting some respect.

Go Hoosiers

BGleas did and he has stated it before.  He is the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

He has never used it as some kind of pedestal though!

People that played at a “high level” don’t talk about it. Unless they played at a high enough level to support a podcast.

@Class of '66 Old Fart was a champion fox-tossing lad at IU back in the olden days when that was a varsity sport.

Just saying
