Purdue would be playing for a national title irrespective of who was coaching IU this season and regardless if Mike Woodson was playing golf or not on a Sunday morning during dead week. 

If Mike Woodson had more than 1 recruit that he landed last week and more than 6 players on scholarship no one would care if he was golfing and it getting posted to social media. 
 

Personally, I don’t care if Mike Woodson flies kites and takes salsa lessons for hobbies— now might just be a slightly tone deaf time to be broadcasting you’re doing no work— dead period in Phoenix or otherwise. I routinely tell people not to post things I could be included in, and think might be read the wrong way, and I am no one it isn’t hard.

NOBODY ASSOCIATED WITH COLLEGE BASKETBALL OUTSIDE THE PARTICIPATING FINAL FOUR TEAMS ARE DOING ANY WORK THIS WEEKEND REGARDLESS OF JOB STATUS.

It’s literally why this week exists lol.

Has nothing to do with Mike Woodson attending a national coaching convention and playing a round of golf during dead week.

And when he was partying it up on his birthday weekend like he was 21 again when it wasn’t a dead week? 

If Woodson generally busted his *** this wouldn’t be an issue. But he acts like he’s semi-retired, puts out a mediocre product, and gets combative when questioned. This week is an official dead week. All the other weeks are unofficial dead weeks for Mike Woodson.

It’s the complete opposite. It’s a non-issue. Actually, a non-starter. You have to be looking to be victimized to have a problem with Woodson golfing this weekend.

Maybe not for you. What will be the excuse when he does this all summer instead of recruiting? Sorry, but when you behave the way Mike Woodson behaves you really don’t deserve any benefit of the doubt from the fanbase.

Yea, I caught that. That’s why I mentioned it. It’s just most of them could field a basketball team right now. It’s optics, not the time or the activity. And I don’t personally care, I was trying to give you a perspective on why people might. And for the record, the dead period is not “do literally no work” week. It only applies to in person recruiting contact. There’s plenty of work being done. Not that I think Woody golfing changes any amount of it for IU lol

If he does this all summer….then by all means burn him at the stake. But attributing Woodson playing golf at 8am on a Sunday during dead week to being lazy and not working is literally an asinine take.
 

Guarantee the person who initially posted the tweet had zero clue that Woodson was at a contractually obligated event (that literally thousands of other college coaches are attending) during a no-contact, no-recruiting week. The irony of lazy.

Man, you are expending a lot of mental energy telling people why they shouldn’t care. Just a suggestion - maybe don’t care so much about if others care?

What actual work is entailed on Sunday April 7th at 8am in the morning during the weekend of the F4 during a dead week?

[Napleshoosier 10,424]

I’m signing up if I can get paid $4,000,000+ a yr. To say “ I just gotta get’m over da hump”?  Who wants to be assistant coaches?  Hey, at least we can get paid to f*ck up as much as this dude.!

My displeasure has nothing to do with Purdue. I’m pissed because IU is staying the course with Woody. 

That the powers that be are content with IU being a borderline top 50 program is unconscionable.

We playing the silly hypothetical game? Okay, find me another tweet of a high major coach golfing on Sunday April 7th at 8am in the morning today.

IU Basketball: Meeting the bare minimum requirements since 1997!

Contractually obligated by who? Highly unlikely

and yes, when you are known for drinking wine, smoking cigars, playing golf when you should be working and you have barely enough players on roster to not forfeit, it might be a good idea to avoid throwing gas on that fire… but seems he doesn’t care.

He needs guards to commit from the portal and right before the portal opens he says he stands behind his belief that the college game is played inside out so I am not surprised he continues to be tone def as well as his supporter

He’s literally at a national coaching convention that over 5,000 coaches from all levels of basketball attend. It takes place this time of year, every single year, because it signals the conclusion of the season and precisely why this dead period exists.

 

 

The 2nd round of the Big Ten tournament signals the conclusion of IU basketball's season and the beginning of Woodrow's  4 month dead period.

So if it went undocumented it’s fine? There’s a rhyme and reason why it was documented and it’s because the person who tweeted it is very plugged in with the NIL world with connections to several prospective student-athletes. Don’t overthink this one.

Do we forget that within 96 hours of Woodson leaving for the NABC convention, he:

-landed a 5* recruit

-convinced the Co-B10 FOY to return without even testing the waters

-inked visits from 3 top 50 portal players including the #1 PG

But he golfed on a Sunday morning. The absolute horror!!!

Don't care if he golfs, smokes a cigar, drinks some wine. Do care if he doesn't produce results (he hasn't). 

Don't care if it gets circulated on the internet and people pile on. Personally doesn't move me that much, but understand the reactions.

I'd bet we'll hear a story about Hurley or someone on staff facetiming McNeeley from the stadium tomorrow at some point. Obviously he still has a game, so he's not golfing yet (actually he's on record that he never golfs... doesn't mean others can't and be successful coaches, though). I wonder how much golfing Matt Painter does... honestly curious. Don't hear about/see it, but not looking for it either. 

Does Woody golf more than the average coach or does it just get photographed and shared more often on social media because people are more pumped to be playing with the IUBB HC than the average CBB HC? 

God, I dream of the day we're talking about IUBB playing this time of year instead of what our staff is or isn't doing.

So would you call it a work-tweet? lol just messing with you..

And yes, it would be, because Mike Woodson needs to stay as far away as possible from anything that could misconstrued as not doing everything in his power to make us better. That’s why it rankles people. As I said before I don’t care, because of course Woody is golfing in Phoenix, but I understand why it would give someone hanging out in the Fire Mike Woodson + Assessment of Former Posters thread a bad taste in their mouth. Just trying to offer some perspective as to why people would disagree with calling it a nothing burger just because it’s dead week. Cheers,

 

Fire Mike Woodson so we don’t have to care if he golfs a lot anymore.

Going to laugh in a week or two when we land a portal recruit (or two) whom have connections to Tim Macdonnell….the man who tweeted about playing golf with Mike Woodson. That spin zone will be a treat.
