I think it could certainly be better, but I mean it’s November 27 and Tyme is claiming these guys had “dead legs.” That would be exceptionally bad even for CM. 

After a week off. Coaching malpractice. Tyme makes a good point that Woodson should probably be fired for allowing this to happen.

Don’t. Too soon. Nope.

I know Chris, and Thyme. Their sources have one degree of separation from mine. Both credible.

One of the ESPN halftime guys just said “complete capitulation by the Hoosiers”.

I don’t think that’s very good…..

[Home Jersey 7,156]

This may be the ultimate captain obvious statement but that second half was so p!ss poor, if it hasn’t already happened, I get the sense Woody will have lost the locker room with another blow out tomorrow. It’s early enough that teams can still get back on track but this one won’t to a meaningful degree IMO. The effort and body language of these kids today make me really doubt it. We will probably get some great individual performances along the way though.

What does that even mean do I have to look up capitulation in the dictionary? I’m just gonna assume not good.

Surrender without condition basically. Never a good sign when we’re learning new adjectives to describe how bad they’re playing. They’re having to get creative to do it justice lmao.

So we hire an interim coach that lost his job 2 1/2 years ago but hasn’t caught on as a coach at any school in America because? He played at IU? I think we have already unsuccessfully tried that.

And then the AD is supposed to tell our new coach candidates that a requirement to their employment is that they must retain Fife as their top assistant? I’m not sure that computes.

Woodson being gone does, however, compute.

It’s just a proposal!  I thought he was unjustly fired by Woodson!  Also, I was trying to think of a way to get rid of MW now.  Maybe we could hire Crean as interim and retain him as an offensive coordinator!  Just trying to think outside the box because we have nobody on the current bench I would trust or let them become interim coach, would you?

I thought it was the dead arms that were causing guys to not be able to shoot anymore after they got here?

Really? COULD… I hope I’m wrong. I think we’re gonna be embarrassed again.

Honestly I hope it happens.

Nope. I wouldn’t trust anyone on the bench. Cheaney maybe? Wake up the sleepy guy and ask him if he wants to coach (at least he would probably be too tired to initiate mass substitutions)?  Maybe Newton since he can’t play? Let the trainers take turns running the team?  Gallo and Cupps dads as co-coaches? Perhaps we could have promos in which one of the random seats in Assembly Hall has a “you are the coach of the day” envelope? Maybe the Menendaz brothers could coach remotely? 
Basically….we are f’d.

Are Stevens and Pearl legitimate candidates?

[Tasmanian Devil 1,531]

Let me start by saying I love Mike Woodson - as a player. Guy is an all time Hoosier legend on the court.

Stating that makes it all the harder to say these words, but they MUST be said: Mike Woodson needs to be relieved of his coaching duties at Indiana University.

We could talk about all the shortcomings, but those have been bandied about ad nauseam throughout this thread. But if anything can ever convince a naysayer who still supports Woody to finally admit that he needs to go, it’s this:

Louisville - after leading 37-29 at halftime - out-scored Indiana 41-11 to lead 78-40 with 7:08 left in the game. That 38 point margin was the largest lead of the game for the Cardinals.

And they achieved that without shooting a SINGLE free throw. None. In fact, UofL didn’t attempt a charity toss until 3:35 remained in the game.

Again, THEY GOT A THIRTY EIGHT POINT LEAD WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM THE LINE! All of us who watched the game saw the uninspired effort, but until you see that statistic does it truly sink in just how truly pathetic the effort was.

Even IF Woodson had a system that was conducive to winning (he doesn’t), there is nothing from the body of work that is the Mike Woodson era to make you believe he will be able to get this team to reverse course and play hard - as in playing focused and with purpose.

Scott Dolson, please fire Mike Woodson. End this misery for everyone.

Today? No. Have they been? Yes. Pearl more than anybody wanted the job. Will we make a move before the end of the season? TBD. I don’t think with the money they dumped into the off-season anybody in the admin expected to be having a discussion this soon.

IMO, Stevens NO. It's been too long, and doubt that he's interested.

There was talk last year of Pearl's interest... or he was playing/stroking us... doubt there's any "there" there at this point

And there may be an announcement that Woodson is "retiring" at the end of the season, but I truly (and sadly) doubt that any meaningful thing will happen until IU misses the tournament next March..
