Fire Coach Woodson Thread

[TTT 1,044]

Who is the better coach?  Mike Woodson or Indiana Fever coach Christie Sides…who is just horrible and any time she talks probably gives individual players and team as a whole a headache because nothing feverish ever happens.

+ Archie Miller Assessment?

My Lord we really are hell-bent on annihilating this dead horse.

The expectations the pumpers are putting out do not align with how they’re characterizing this off-season, I.e., that Woodson did so awesome and knocked it our of the park. The expectations should be a 1, 2, or, at worst, a 3 seed. They don’t want to set the expectations too high, though, because they know Woodson isn’t a good enough coach to meet high expectations. So, they temper them so they can then turn around and advocate for keeping Woodson next year because hey, he set the mediocre expectations we set. 

So wait killed it in the offseason top class but expectations should be tempered? Shouldn't top classes expect to be top 4 seeds minimum in the ncaa?

Yes yes but he was the best coach ever!!

CAM is the GOAT! Better than RMK? Yes!! No one can say otherwise he was sooo great!!

There, that should settle it.

I thought that’s basically what he is saying.  Offseason top class should be a higher seed, either a 1-3 seed is what Hoosierfan2017 is saying but instead the expectation pumpers are being a little bit conservative and it’s primarily because they don’t totally trust that MW can actually coach them correctly.  I am so glad I could clarify this for you, you are so welcome!  Let me know if I can help you again interpret what someone is saying in plain English!   I may just sleep good tonight knowing I helped someone challenged in the English language!  lol!

It’s the Btown Banners limbo.  How low can you set the bar.

Not really, I was just messing with you, hence the lol!  My bad.  It probably past my bedtime and get like that when I’m sleep deprived!  lol. Sorry!

Are we now saying there wasn’t social media accounts that popped up defending Woody? That’s a conspiracy theory? Some really odd behavior in the “Fire Mike Woodson” thread.

People that support Woodson are hedging their bets because they have all watched the same **** as us.  With the roster he has put together we should be thinking that we have a BIG title contender and a BIG title contender should be a team capable of doing things in March.

People are bringing up 5, 6, and 7 seeds because in the back of their mind they believe Mike Woodson is a net negative as a coach. 

Preseason projections for 2025 are up at Torvik, and updating regularly. Indiana currently ranks at 21. It's a huge jump from finishing last season at 83. If that holds, coming in at 21 on the S curve gets you... a 6 seed in the NCAA Tournament. That's from an objective ranking system based on roster alone. Mike Woodson as coach has nothing to do with it.

I really want IU basketball to compete successfully at the highest levels.  It would be great entertainment.

I appreciate the sharing of information and opinions on this and other sites.  I learn a lot from people.

This thread has been a bummer, though.

  I do not mind people criticizing Coach Woodson's recruiting, on-court decisions, his focus, other related performances and communications.  It does bother me when people repeat themselves ad nauseum.  So I skip those postings, mostly.

But what I do not appreciate is the trend towards personal attacks.  The discontent pre-season in what just might be a great year is driving me to drinking.  Believe it or not.  Well, this and the oligarchy that the USA has become, and politics, and lack of empathy, and that damn rabbit that ate my just planted veggies, and...

Let's all be civil. 

Otherwise, I will personally stalk you and paint Purdoo Lover on your garage door.  Then two weeks later I will paint UK Lover on your house.  Be forewarned.  

By the way, what is the best brewery near Nashville IN?  And how was the Bill Monroe Bluegrass Festival this year?

Doesn’t matter. We’re stuck with Mike Woodson - good or bad. There are plenty of better coaches in many different sports and leagues. But he’s our guy. Can’t compare him to anyone because it doesn’t matter at this point.

That is pretty underwhelming. Obviously it’s just a projection but #21 and a 6 seed can’t be “the year” for Woodson. That isn’t exciting, that should be a very average year at IU, not the pinnacle

 Good post Dave

The civility of posters on this board was the reason I joined this site several years ago,along with the informed participants That has eroded lately and many posters seem to prefer pissing matches.

Disagreements are one thing but the constant hijacking of threads gets old.

I like Zwanzigz and Hog Molly in Columbus.  And you most likely already know about Big Woods/Hard Truth in Nashville.

We could use you to come to the gulf coast and pump some sunshine. In the meantime hopefully the coach will retire after next year and put this thread to bed.

That isn't very sunshine pumper of you! I have enjoyed multiple vacations to a couple different locations along the Gulf.
