It cracks me up how many fans 2 weeks ago were like we need to fire this coach and today are making We're Back" t-shirts. 

Like I said yesterday when you don't see how bad the coaching is every few days you really forget about it. 

We're never back with Mediocre Mike sitting in the office. Fire Mike Woodson today.

Help me out here.  I'm not sure if this is sarcasm or a defense of Woodson.  

Truly. Couldn't decide whether to laugh or like your post. It's really pretty sad, to be honest.

No I have not seen it here and was talking more about it on Twitter. So many fans are trying to have a gotcha moment. I should have been more clear that I was talking about social media and not on here. 

Yep. Social media. That's where the real fans hang out.

Fire Mike Woodson.

2 5 star post players one of which wanted to be a wing when everyone knew he was best fit in college at the 4 and another high 4 star borderline 5 star post player 

More total stars than anyone else in the B1G conference... and Mediocre Mike Woodson to mismanage it all.

I think I found another NGW burner. I'm not blocked from this one yet.

Not me! I have never or ever will be a Woodson fan. I can't wait until he his fired or retires. Lazy, arrogant, self-centered and the most unimpressive person I have ever seen. How anyone could think he is going to lead this program anywhere besides down a sh??hole is beyond me. Totally worthless!

It actually surprises me in so many ways, this phenom going on within our fanbase. It's as if all nuance is dead. Very tribal.

Cannot conceive of a world where people share what they hear and situations evolve. Just because someone shares what they hear and the situation evolves then plays out differently, does not mean that it wasn't true at the time they heard/shared it. I've never seen you or Jerry frame a post in a definitive way unless you were sure of it, and those things have happened. Even actual paid media people who break stories for a living, have been "wrong" about what they reported would happen (EX: ISP had the scoop on Essegian going back into portal). Most of the time they are right/consistent... and most of the time, what they are hearing is aligned with what our posters hear. This righteous indignation - as if speaking negatively about Mike Woodson's job as HC - is a personal affront, is weird.

The desire to "keep receipts" as NGW has put it, tell others what they're allowed to say or feel, that maybe they'll "allow" you to root for the team next year if you keep being positive (this is all on Twitter, not here, to be clear) ... is f***ing weird, and tiresome. Do people not have a right to be skeptical? I didn't realize you lose your right to be a fan if you acknowledge glaring issues. Don't think that was the case until Mike Woodson decided to tell everyone it was.

True fans would be streaking thru the quad.

I just want to put it out there that I have never worked in the athletic department. I have never once said I have. I officiated practices in Assembly Hall under Crean but have never worked in that department or have claimed I have.

Coach Portal finally got that elusive knock down shooter with Tucker. Wait, wait, who am I kidding! Tucker is know for his mid range game. 

[Scooter T Washington 46]

I’m can’t help but wonder why people take what someone says on a message board as the gospel? If I accept everything that someone with sources post on every platform Stevens would have been IU’s head coach since Archie was hired. This all for amusement folks and is a place for me to get away from all the depressing political news and all that other crap ie…Doyle.

At first I thought it was PJ Tucker kid but PJ shoots the 3 well.

Hey, how about giving T. Moren and IU Ladies 1/2 this men’s basketball NIL money?

Exactly why would Woodson target that many kids, he hates going out to watch AAU and HS games. Just tell him who the really good players are, then try to get them on campus, preferably in the spring because that is golf season and he's in a good mood. Then he'll tell them some cool NBA stories and try to get them to commit.

Ok Woody, here's the thing.  

1) Build a top 25 roster at minimum.

2) stay there or within close range of that mark

3) Play a modern style of basketball

4) Let's see some winning and joy from the players.  Look like you like each other and are having fun

5) Let's blow some teams the F out.

Nope… for me it’s one thing…

Make the NCAA and don’t get embarrassed. That’s it. Can we please just do that?

Honestly, they could run the Power I and I wouldn’t care… 

[Hoosier DaDa 3,059]

I feel like this thread needs a T-Shirt..  My idea is below but if someone out there can create a better one let see them.  Whoever comes up with the best one we can sell them and the profits can go to a slush fund to FIRE MIKE WOODSON!

Isn't that the way of the entire world now?

From what I gather, he's not an awful shooter from deep. Just inconsistent. JHS came in very similarly and developed a serviceable 3 ball. Tucker seems like a more talented player at the same stage.
