I was only saying that it was futile to expect a firing in early December based on the panicky response from two lousy games in late November. Dolson is never going to do that and that really set a few people off into a rage. I get that people are upset because we played poorly and the program isn’t moving forward under Woodson, but it isn’t going to magically create a different response or result. Interesting to be attacked for saying what I know to be true, but that’s the nature of internet fan sites.

Yeah, but that is not all that your saying.  Everyone realizes any in season firing is likely unless the wheels really come off (see the Chicago Bears).  But now you have guys defending Crean of all people.  LOL.

And it certainly isn't going to endear Mike Woodson to the fan base given his past 3+ years of incompetence. He won't recruit so they bought him a team. Same results... wonder what the commonality is?

I despise this argument as there is ONE person responsible for assembling the roster, and his name Mike Woodson.  If I did a half-@$$ job of assembling and coaching my team in the professional setting there would be repercussions...why is this different?

Probably that you didn't play there 40 years ago and aren't best buds with the chairman of the board.

You’ve said a lot more than that.  We all read your multitude of posts, some of which were pretty unhinged.  Not a good look.

You continually regurgitate about "the nature of internet fan sites" and such as if everyone here were a bunch of wide-eyed fan boys or fan girls who only casually follow IU basketball. Your condescension is so thick, you could cut it with a knife. 

Watching that crap show in the Caribbean is not a "panicky response." Why can't you understand that? We got absolutely poleaxed probably a half-dozen times last season -- after which we sat at home during the postseason. 

I, for one, don't want a midseason change. I don't see what purpose it would serve. But I damn sure want one at the end of the season. Next, you'll scold me for wanting to already fire a coach when there are 20-plus games to be played. Again -- THIS IS NOT ABOUT TWO GAMES this season. It's about a program that's clearly not headed in the right direction. 

And it's very, very difficult to see that changing over the next four months.

Pretty early in the year to be on the coaching search train but yet here I am. Going to be a long one fellas.

I wonder if she, thyme, and Steuben have contributed the most to this thread. I thank them because I think we’ll surpass the “fire Tom Crean “ in no time?

Woody has paid defenders on all social media platforms. lol. The school would save a lot of man/woman hours and pay to just find a coach that can prodcuce a respectably winning basketball product.  
 

The basketball product has not looked good under Woody during his entire tenure.  It’s actually remarkable. The entire basketball world sees it and that is why our portal haul was capped by prognosticators.  They know.  Everyone knows. Besides Woody apparently.  Sad.

Don't forget AH, who has posted quite a bit here. He 's been pretty quiet since B4A started, though. I wonder why.

Not from what we have seen. The expectation for this team were top 3 in the big ten and a sweet sixeteen minimum. They don't even look like top 7 in the big ten right now. If you going to spend 6 million on a team you better deliver.

If the "stakeholders" don't know what's going on with our team, they must not have any social media, newspapers, podcasts, tv or radio.    They must not leave their homes or talk to people. They obviously haven't watched good basketball to see how different they play from our team.

I mean…that would explain a lot about the last 25 years of IU basketball.

IU and every other school has stakeholders. It’s how universities work.

Not really. Alvarez exercised almost universal control over UW football. Of course, he built the thing and kept it near the top for about twenty more years. There are other examples, but they too are singularly successful people. I’m sure that is confusing, almost alien, to people within the IU administration, though.

It's probably time to burn the whole thing down and start fresh next year.

Woodson is handling the burning it down part.

He has a big enough pair, but he has a bigger brain. If we want to make this season worse, a mid-season axe is the way.

I disagree!

[coonhounds 9,035]

Crean was no better than Woodson as a coach and he squandered far more talented teams than MW has been able to assemble.

R u insane! Seriously this is ridiculous. Crean coached circles around Woodson. He sucked but this is next level!

What’s that movie where the guy flicks the cigar to start a fire. Because that’s Woodson

I wonder why?  Maybe he knows we have all been right all along and he’s been trying to wash the crow out of his mouth
