That’s the common thread, and it has been for a long number of years. They’re the “New Coke” in all of this.

I wish we had some players that did coke. I'm sure they vape and drink white claw, though, p******.

The fact that someone thinks firing Woodson now is a knee jerk reaction to one loss shows just how badly our program is being run. 

I'm sorry  but not going to argue with Katchy about this but I got a text from someone higher than her last night that said some serious conversations are going on right now at the highest levels about ending this nightmare immediately.

Maybe I missed it.  Are you in favor of FIRING MIKE WOODSON KathywithaC?

[LamarCheeks 19,399]

Obviously, this site is inclusive and nobody wants to discourage anyone from posting, but I really, really, really wish KathyC would stop coming here and acting as if we're all a bunch of emotional fanboys and/or fangirls upset about ONE game. This goes much deeper than one game. 

I get that she thinks she's smarter than everyone else -- can tell by the "Glad to clarify and update this for you" comment to Chris -- and I'm sure she has connections that we don't, but that doesn't change the fact that it's fairly obvious that this program is a mess and a change is needed. You don't have to be an "insider" to realize that. 

She really, really, really, really seems to enjoy talking down to people.

They aren’t “my guys” any more than they’re “your guys”. But I do understand the visceral reactions here. We haven’t had an elite program for several decades, and that’s due to a bunch of people in positions of leadership who were each convinced they knew what they were doing. Way too many cooks who can’t and couldn’t boil water.

And you make it sound like that is going to continue.  They never learn.  The IU athletic department is the joke of the country.  When I speak to people familiar with other programs they can’t believe how our university is managed.  Incompetent beyond belief.

I'm hearing it is at least being discussed

.....as in, before the season ends?

So Mike and Quinn's travel agent?

I find the "higher than [Kathy]" statement intriguing... tell us more... it seems to imply that she has some gravitas... but all I see is "high-horse" condescension.

Sounds interesting and I hope they’re a more reliable source of information for you.

Ending it immediately would be the smartest thing they could do short of inventing time travel and making a serious hire in the first place.

EDIT: This is IUBB, which means the smart thing won't happen.

I don't think he should make it to the end of the season.  Need to go ahead and hand the keys off to someone lse for the rest of the season.  

This!  He needs to go now!  His attitude and ego are a cancer to the university and basketball program and he could do much damage by the end of the year

Yes as in today. I don't believe it will happen but I believe it is being talked about. Now do I think Dolson is going around the office asking everyone for their opinion? NO of course not but he is talking with some people very close to him

this is especially true (and telling) when you consider her lengthy absences...then, "wham" here she comes again...

But what about Woodson cooking with the six million. Ant Wright said last summer Woodson is a recruiting genius.

Yep. And then she drops the "visceral reactions" comment. Visceral means not intellectual.

So she thinks that people wanting Woody out is all a gut reaction from last night -- rather than taking a logical look at his 3-plus years here.

....bottom line, this is a business and it's current model has been failing for some time. There should be ZERO resistance from anyone in charge in protecting Coach Woodson's (IU BB playing resume) in the grand scheme of things. I know this isn't the case, because anyway you look at it, it's gonna look bad on him in some way.

If there isn’t a remarkable change in the direction of the program in the next six weeks, we have to make a change, in my opinion. Of course, it’s always been fair to wonder why we chose to hire him in the first place, as well as what our options were at that time.

or considering the 1537 (so far) pages of this thread. This is NOT a knee-jerk reaction to Woodson's incompetence or Buckner's malfeasance.

[Trish 11,662]

Mike Woodson has lost the fan base. His time is coming to an end this March. It will be a glorious day on this site when he “retires”. 
 

Meet Chris and I out for drinks when that happens in a couple months.
