Leonard Hamilton has reportedly been sued for not paying out promised NIL $.  

This and the amount that IU and others have shelled out in NIL along with FB in general shows why the NCAA needs to get some guts and put in some rules for NIL.  The P4 will break away in the next few years because of the portal and NIL is something I firmly believe will happen.  The players deserve the money, but the ease of transferring needs to be tightened up.  Also, Fire Mike Woodson before he gets to a chance to abruptly retires like Larranaga did.

I definitely want him fired (and not allowed to "retire") ... but if he quits mid-season and walks away, I could live with that.

I am apprehensive about Dolson hiring Woodson's replacement. I don't know how much Quinn Buckner influenced the decision to hire Woodson. If he was heavily involved then the Governor needs to remove Buckner when his term on the Board of Trustees is up.

That dude is a complete clown. He has nothing to back up his argument of Indiana being worthy of defending on the internet day in and day out. If Mike Woodson actually had this program running in the right direction, maybe he could talk the way he talks. However, Indiana Basketball is going in the wrong direction with zero signs of life. He's making himself look like a complete clown defending this pathetic program. 

 

He is thin skinned.  He finally blocked me as well.  Frankly, I hope these morons get what they want and people check out of the games and the program.  They don't understand how stupid it is to actively chase away fans and then think that people are going to just hop back in with the same gusto 5 or 10 years down the line.

I didn't watch the past two games and the impact it had to miss them was zero.  Great business model to educate fans on just how little they mean to the program and how little they will miss watching the games when it is no longer being done out of habit or some false sense of duty....

Maybe he just gets double technicals pre-game the rest of the season. He is elite at quitting without  officially quitting.

Dolson did a great job hiring our football coach so I have confidence in him hiring a new BB coach.

I honestly sort of expect the last time we see him on the sidelines to be him pulling the same stunt he did vs Nebraska in the BTT. Two quick techs, a retirement announcement as a fast follow… then back to the golf course for Mike until it’s time for the PR rehabilitation tour in a few years time.

That IU/UM post-game presser with each coach is gonna be... interesting.

Can we get one of those fancy jumbotron decibel meters for which coach gets the louder ovation at the end of their teams' starting lineup?

Does just go to show how generationally awesome TJD was to single-handedly power those teams into the tournament despite the staff. 

TJD goes in with Zeller and probably Jeffries as players so singularly talented in size, athleticism and intelligence they were able to make good defenses out of bad coaches.  All 3 don’t get enough credit, imo.

Lol what a clown

We've just got to mentally focus and make them. That would make life a lot better for me." — Indiana basketball coach Mike Woodson on IU's 1-for-20 shooting from 3-point range vs. Winthrop. #iubb From

Once Woodson is gone we will never see him again. He is about himself not iu.

It's got to be kind of a weird mental place to be in to be a guy with a chip on his shoulder the size of Stonehenge and who desperately wants to stick his finger in everybody's eye but then doesn't actually want to take the steps necessary to do that. Would love to see him be able to rationalize stepping away of purely his own accord, for simplicity's sake, but I don't really see how that happens.

The last I posted, Tom Crean was the head coach. It can’t have gotten any worse than that. 

Oggy returns!!!

Especially after there are "We want Dusty" chants during the game.

The board will be that much more interesting if @Oggyiu and @JaybobHoosier become regular visitors.

Damn. That ***** tyme just blocked me cause I called BS on his claims that there is too much pressure to coach and play basketball at IU.  

That has been the dumbest excuse to come out about a program not succeeding. If that were the case, then UK, Duke, Kansas, and UNC would be in the same boat as we are. It’s an excuse to deflect any blame on a coaching staff that never see’s they are the problem and failing. I have quit watching games and can’t wait for Woodson to be fired.

I hope not. I’ve been ready to move on from Woody for a while but this isn’t the look I’d want.

^^100%^^

It certainly did not scare Pope away from UK, and the grief that Calipari took was many measures higher than anything Woody has gone through. 

Hell, it didn't scare away Langdon Hatton. When asked after last night's game what it's been like to sit and watch so much, he answered that the only reaction he's had is that it's a dream come true to get to play at IU.
