Fire Coach Woodson Thread

[Uspshoosier 45,372]

Michigan had a ton of talent on that team.  Crazy to go back and look at the pros they had on that team 

Staucus 6’6

robinson jr 6’6

hardaway jr 6’6

Levert 6’5

Burke 6’0 (might not of been a pro but a heck of a college basketball player.) I think he won B1G player of the year

F*** all the slow learners in our fanbase.  The ones who insisted that we needed 4 years of Archie Miller.  The ones who hired the bum then insisted they couldn't tell he sucked until 4 years in.  You're fuggin morons.

F*** all the slow learners who insisted that Woody needed to come back for another year.  You fuggin morons have turned IUbb into garbage.  We suck because of your influence and your idiocy.

F*** Quinn Buckner.  Your legacy is now garbage.  You can take Woody with you to the effing dump.

 

 

I'm not sure I feel better, what did I do wrong? 

You didn’t get into the weeds with your rant, you left out 3 or 4 paragraphs

So you blame the true fans and not the administration who have made all these **** decisions?

Here is a horrifying thought:

Per Kenpom, IU is projected to be the underdog in 14 of our last 15 games this season. That extends from January 15 to March 8. Almost two full months.

The one exception is Feb 26 at home vs Penn State... and our win probability for that one is exactly 50%.

Oh this is inclusive.  The administration is definitely full of slow learners.

Everything about iu basketball is horrifying right now and should scare the he'll out of every fan. I already got asked no less than 10 times today whats wrong with your hoosiers. My favorite was what happened to your hoosiers yesterday while someone chimed in to let everyone know we are down 20 currently today lol. I want to hide till april!

And I’m only half kidding. I had to turn it off with about [emoji6] minutes left in the first half. So tired of watching a team that doesn’t play like it cares, outside of maybe Hatton today. What else is the rebounding issue besides effort? They’re already bigger and more athletic than nearly any team they play.

I like Hatton, he should get more of Reneau’s minutes!  Rebounding and defense takes effort and they have taken on the personality of their effortless coach and that is what is wrong with this team!  It’s the coach, the players are good players but he takes the easy way out in recruiting by throwing money at the best players available instead of doing research on how players will be the best fit for the way you want to play and how they can fit in with other players you are recruiting or have kept. He’s a lazy, lazy coach who has consistently tried to short cut recruiting and now his team plays lazy too

Truly everyone associated with bringing this dude back after last season should be fired! Dolson did good with football coach but we needed one for basketball without question!

Dolson May have had a better option but did not have enough cred to overcome Quinn and or some boosters. Now with this start and the success of his football hire he may have that cred.

Well I woke up today with plans to watch the game live; however, my Appendix had other things in mind.  I had to have emergency surgery today to remove my Appendix, and I had my brother tape the game.  Everyone told me it wasn’t worth watching but after getting released today and around 5:30, I came home and watched it and here is my assessment, which is my opinion.

1) We have too many players who have to have the ball I their hands to make plays and that is a problem because that leads to lack of ball movement.

2) Mgbako needs to quit passing up his first open shoot, which is usually a 3, by putting the ball on the floor which leads to a turnover or contested shot at the rim.

3) I still am not a fan of Reneau’s game.  He still looks like the blackhole he was last year and when he gets double teamed, it usually leads to him forcing a shot or turning the ball over.  He is not a playmaker but Woodson keeps putting him in those situations 

4) Galloway still isn’t in game shape.  Seems a half step slow and is coming up short on shots, which means his legs aren’t there yet.

5) Our guard play on both sides of the ball was supposed to be a strength of this team and quicker guards have exploited us when we were on defense and I am not impressed with their offensive game so far either.

6) I like Landon Hatton because he plays hard and plays within himself.  Honestly I would like to see him get a few more minutes and take it away from Reneau, he plays harder than him IMO

7) Mike Woodson sucks as a coach and needs to be fired yesterday!  We need to have a coach that shows more energy and fire and he has none of that!

8) I actually seen Hill move slightly on the bench, I think Calbert was behind him moving his arms like Bernie!

9) With this coaching staff and the way this team plays, we will be lucky to finish in the top 5 in the B10.  We have a top 5 roster but we have the worst coach in the B10

That’s enough because we are still beating this dead horse.

Happy Thanksgiving, what is left of it!

Did you nearly burst your appendix to avoid watching CMW further sink this program?  Your level of dedication is greatly appreciated.

 

Be well

I’ve done that the last two days. I’ve had everyone of them mad at me at some point. 

 

It’s good to be the king.  Won out on back to back loners between my brother in law and I.

Was the capitalization of May a Freudian slip?

His appendix figured the game would be more painful. It did him a favor really.

Now you seem through my mastermind plan and it got me out of have Thanksgiving dinner at the in-laws too!  My plan worked, lol!

Thanks!

I can't believe anyone convinced themselves that Woodson was ever a good hire in the first place. If he didn't play here 40 years ago hiring him would've been widely laughed at.

I would say he has the Cred now!  I wonder if he has the stones to pull the trigger now?  I don’t think any of us have the patience to sit through this entire season watching an effortless coach guide this effortless team, we will all lose our sanity by mid-January or early February

Glad to hear you're doing better physically... wondering if the drugs made this clown show more bearable.

Can't disagree with anything you said!

Won’t respond to anyone directly calling me out. 
 

Again, didn’t watch as the Thanksgiving crowd was half Michiganders and the Lions’ game took precedence.

Checked the score from time to time. At one point in the first half we were down 1, and I thought, okay this will be a bounce back game. Next time I looked we were down 18, still in the first half. Dinner and the football getting closer, and I didn’t see until the final score.

These can be the only losses until the Jan  11 game at Iowa. And in that game we better be more competitive than these two games.

Since I haven’t watched, I don’t know what the cause of this loss was. Some are alluding to guard play. If so, that’s a travesty.

Nine straight. That’s my benchmark. Any slip ups and time to move on

 

This is not meant to call you out, so please don’t take offense. But from your posts you seem to be a supporter of Woodson, so I ask (in all sincerity) - did you see my post yesterday evening?

Louisville built a 38 point lead WITHOUT ATTEMPTING A SINGLE FREE THROW! Not one. Just how pathetic an effort does a team have to give over 30 minutes of a game that the opponent can nearly double the score on you and you haven’t contested a shot enough to be called for a foul? 
 

In all seriousness - what about Woodson and the body of work he has provided to this point leads you to believe he can right this ship? The problems we saw yesterday and today are the same ones we’ve seen the past 3 years.

How in good consciousness can you continue to support this?
