This thread should be smooth sailing from here on out.  Seems like everyone is on the same page.   No need to  call anyone out anymore.    It’s over for Woodson.    While some might not agree on how some post about the firing everyone wants the same thing moving forward.     This should be the easiest thread to moderate moving forward

Unpopular opinion—I’d rehire Coach Crean if he could fix roughly 3 things. 

1) set schedule/normality in routine

2) warmer personality/less difficult to work with administratively

3) less awkward/more successful high school relationships and recruiting. 
 

I’d accept some of the ups and downs and I think those steps above would resolve some of those issues. How many of us miss watching a team that could shoot?

I can’t really blame the younger fans but this is a sad state of affairs.

Would you be referring to nailing down which days of the week we are utilizing a plane and which days are utilizing a chopper for transportation to Carmel Soccer?

I think part of it is figuring out who the interim coach will be. I’m sure there are a few coaches who want it. It could lead to big money at their next job if they get us playing well. Then does Jordy Or Calbert move up. How do we make it a smooth transition. Things like that.

The more I look at him the more I come around. What he did at LSU was shady as hell but it's legal now. There's no doubt he can coach, he's young, enthusiastic - we could (and probably will) do far worse.

Lots of red flags with him -- his disastrous tenure at Georgia being one.  

Kind of a shame that he couldn't get those things fixed earlier, because despite all his quirks, he seems like a decent enough dude. And despite his somewhat acrominous split with us -- it seems pretty obvious that he still loves the place.

I saw somewhere that the students plan to boycott the next home game against Maryland, so I guess we’ll see if that ends up happening or not. 

As tremendous as that would be, I don't have a ton of confidence in the follow thru

Don’t understand why folks would want a guy like Sampson or Wade.

I get that what they did “then” is legal now.

But if a guy was willing to break the rules that were in place at the time, wonder if he’d break the rules that exist now?

Only health I’ve heard is with Woodson. Might need to retire due to health reasons. 

Well, isn't that convenient?

I’m pretty sure the under 8 timeout has like 20 red flags so he’s in good company…

but seriously I do not envy Scott Dolson in the slightest. But since he found Cignetti who resurrected Lazarus (IU Football) he’s earned my trust. As long as he doesn’t rehire Sampson.

Such a visceral reaction!!!

There is no rational reason to let Woodson keep coaching.

The damage from the visual of fans either not showing up or leaving…The damage from hearing the fire Woodson chants… the damage of the visual of a coach who shows no energy or emotion to lead the team… the damage of the visual of a team who knows the coach is gone, and plays like it… All of this played out by the national media.

All would have a much larger and worse impact on the program than if administration would just rip the bandage off, take the short term criticism of the Wilborns of the world, and move forward. 
Winning games the rest of this season is secondary to reestablishing the pride and status of what IU basketball used to be 

Loving your posts today

Did you see what he did at Georgia? He had those teams in the Kenpom 200s.

Stop the personal attacks on other poste…. ahh never mind -  go for it. He certainly must deserve it for sumthin.

[steubenhoosier 985]

Last thing I want to hear is that Woodson’s health is the word.
