Fire Coach Woodson Thread

[AZ Hoosier 8,094]

The thing that Painter had to learn early was not to chase the stars.  He started to learn to identify kids that fit his system and that is where he thrived.  He doesn’t care about the stars.  He gets the kids and then develops.  Not many transfers etc.  He does everything the right way. 

What a concept. Mike Woodson, we’re all looking at you.

Watching Purdue play this year is a thing of beauty. Sucks to be an IU fan.  Talent but don’t do a thing with it.  

When the shots are falling it is tolerable. That said, Edey-ball is an abomination to watch. If he were officiated correctly and averaged say 3-4 fouls a game, Purdue is like a 22 win team. A 7-4 guy who is slow and plays exclusively on the block averaging under 2 fouls a game at like 35 minutes a game is absurd. Not much you can do about the foul parade at he offensive end, but if he simply had fouls called at even a reasonable rate and couldn't play 40 minutes a game Purdue looks completely different.  Purdue people love to argue he gets fouled every play, and he probably does, but he also commits a foul almost every possession and they simply do not get called. I don't blame painter for riding him, he is a college cheat code since he never gets called for fouls. 

TL;DR: I hate watching Purdue's offense.

7 different coaches have made the final four the past two years. None of them were at a power conference job before their current position. Not all mid majors are Archie. We just have to find the right one.

It is crazy how Foul Ming is never in foul trouble ever

It really is. Painter has done a really good job of subtly promoting the "poor Eady gets picked on" narrative.

I agree!  He should have had at 3 fouls that I counted.  Truth be told, he probably had 5 fouls that weren’t called.  Also, I noticed every time he makes a move and misses a shot or gets it knocked out, he cries he was fouled and then the next time down the floor he gets a foul call for him.  Didn’t he shoot almost 20 free throws, ridiculous.   The guy doesn’t need help from the refs, he’s freaking 7’4” and weighs 300 lbs for Christ sakes, if anything the refs should give the defender the benefit of the doubt but just call it fair.  By the way, what happened to letting them play in the tournament?  Turdue seemed to get a lot of fouls called in their favor throughout the tournament

Back to firing Mike Woodson. Don't be surprised when we don't use all of the 13 scholarships again this year. We will probably be out of money by scholarship 11 if not then by 12.

I think we're finding out again this year that no guards want to come play in this offense.

Maybe it would be wise instead of spreading the money around. Consolidate and offer big money to two or three guards?

Clearly they're worried about competing with Cupps.

The first thing is we shouldn't have overpaid a couple of guys who are currently on the team.

Probably why they were paid to make sure they stay so there wont be even more schollys not filled when the disappointment hits.

I would hope that's what they are doing. Even then I think we tend to overrated our own nil. I know we added more. But other programs want to win too. You have to think the Kansas, Kentucky and ucla's of the world are adding more too after disappointing seasons. 

 

We can't just paper over the woody problem so easily.

Walker has rescheduled his visit, so he will not be on campus today according to Rabby.

Another reason to fire Mike Woodson

Yeah it speaks to me that we’re a horrible run program and administration just trying to make the best of a horrible situation sadly.

I mentioned that about 70 pages back. Fans of pro sports know intimately you can't overpay guys by 50% and expect to be competitive.  Paying guys like leal to say nice things on senior night is an inefficient use of funds.  

 

Having come from the pros I would have hoped woody understood this basic fact.  Maybe he does... we'll see how it plays out

Yeah with Leal it should have been you either want to be here or you don't. Once we field a competitive roster, we'll see what NIL money we have left over and you can have that. 

[Chris007 47,000]

Remember we couldn't play in the NIT because we had to concentrate on the portal. So far going into the dead period from April 4-11 we have zero recruits from the portal. Killin it!!

I'm not seeing this, but admittedly I don't know the details.

Say we are overpaying a guy like Leal; double the $100k that might be the going rate and allot him $200K. How in the world would that make any consequential difference in a budget of over $6 million? Any overpaying is a bad idea, but when the budget is over the top does that particular overpay really matter much?

No Walker visit is fine by me... not getting to a full 13 scholarships, is not. If they don't get to 12, that should be unacceptable... total malpractice in back to back years. They've got to get it right this time around... please help us basketball gods
