Yet there has been a lot of talk in this thread about “culture “. 
Sampson pissed on the IU culture 

We don’t have a culture now unless you thinks that the inmates running the asylum, going out to bars the night before a game, going to the casino in the Bahamas instead of focusing in playing basketball, having an altercation at a drive thru, speeding excessively in a posted speed limit zone and trying to pin it on someone else and losing by double digits in every lose this year as culture then we need to change it!

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?

What rules are there even to break now?  That isn't facetious.

For the life of me, I can’t understand why Coach Woodson’s “broken record” response to IU’s poor play is ALWAYS “I gotta get these guys playing better….”, “I gotta do this….”, I gotta get them better…”!!!! 

I'm right there with you '86.  "gotta get these guys to understand...[blocking out] [switching] [playing a full 40 minutes].  I struggle to understand why many of the things this man has made excuses for over the years can't be mastered within 4 weeks of practice. And no Cathy I'm not emotional right now, however, if I see another IUBB bench like I saw in the 2nd half of that Iowa game, I'll get that way in hurry-n-hoosier minute.

Not talking about now. Sampson’s guys were doing a lot worse than what has happened recently. He brought in a bunch of guys with really sketchy backgrounds. There was a huge chasm between DJ , Gordon and the other guys

Fair question. 
 

Recruiting/portal windows?

Are there still academic requirements?

Looking forward to the day that this thread is renamed to the “Coach Woodson Fired Thread”.

One of the saddest things about this whole situation is that Don Fischer has to put up a brave face and support the team.

He’s 77 and has devoted 2/3rds of his life to IU.Definitely deserves better

Yea I agree with you, unfortunately if it starts looking like we are going to get 20 pieced by UM, I would say it’s almost a forgone conclusion the students chant for Dusty. 

So let’s assume Woody is still the coach when Dusty comes rolling into BTown (big assumption). Also assuming IU season is still off the rails (small assumption). So my question is if the boo birds are out and chants of “Fire Woody” or “We want Dusty”. Does this turn off Dusty from considering IU if the offer is made?

Regardless of who the coach is that game, make it a white or red out and be loud. Show Dusty where he could be coaching next year. Booing the team and calling for Woody to be gone (which is the more likely thing to happen, unfortunately) of course will be a bad look. Dusty certainly wont be telling himself "Man - I want to coach here"

I don't know, I think you guys might be being too hard on Woodson. In fact he's actually responsible for bringing my wife and I closer together. I used to get annoyed and tune her out during games when she'd try and talk about dumb stuff. Now I give her my full attention because I'd rather learn what Taylor Swift wore at the Chiefs game than watch IUBB.

Hustled on the court and off. Your not wrong Stu. They were extra special and liked them streets.

Nah. He gets to announce IU sports while getting paid . Living the great life personally.

You guys are killing me with this thread, I closed my browser about midnight last night and didn't open it till around 10 this morning. All I have to say is, I didn't read this much in school! There were so many posts I would have loved to respond too, but I was soooooo far behind I was afraid to lose my place, LMAO!

Is 5 million low for the first year to leave for another team?

I would guess others with more knowledge on such things may have better info, but I believe that it is. 

[Hoosier DaDa 2,746]

I want to give a big SHOUTOUT to Banksyrules for starting this thread little less than a year ago and 1571pages. I wish this next statement for myself wasn’t true… it’s the only thing interesting about IU Hoops :(

I just wondered because I keep reading the first year is low on purpose, but it is $5mil ,then $4mil ,then $2mil, then $1mil, then $500,000.  I wonder if people are looking at his FAU buyout terms?

[TTT 1,019]

Over and under.  Does this thread reach 2,000 before or after IU men’s basketball has a new coach?

It would be wise to have IU president very involved in selecting next IU men’s basketball coach.  She was right there with coach Cignetti and AD receiving Walter Camp coaching award.

If that was the case a pressure cooker job like IU would be less than ideal for him. And Buckner didn't do any favors for his friend or the program.

Not a favor for the program but how much exactly will Woodson have made from all of this when all is said and done? He and his family will be very comfortable due to that so I'd guess it won't really bother him, and in perspective of how much MW got paid, I'd say QB did him a very big favor.

Idk.  Maybe Chris can share his thoughts or info. I have not really looked into it, just was commenting on what he said and I consider his info around here to be solid.
