What? Getting rid of Crean was not a mistake. He was 7th, 8th, 1st and 10th in the B1G in his last 4 years. And the B1G wasn't exactly worldbeaters during that period. 

Also, Crean couldn't get past the Sweet 16 with 2 of the top 5 players chosen in the NBA draft. How much talent did he require to make an elite 8 or final 4? LOL

Understood.  But look where we are now.  You always want to have a better option before firing a coach if they have some success.  Not fire him, and then figure it out.

I see a lot of who would want this job thoughts….i understand the pressure aspect, but if a guy is confident in his abilities…who wouldn’t want this job? You have a huge NIL amount to work with, still a storied brand, and if you return the team to relevance you become loved…more than loved reallly, the adoration for a winning coach here would be unreal. Just ask the late Bob Knight, even in his wrongs fans looked past it to lift him up on the pedestal he was on because the man was a legend for winning

[BlueDevil 8,743]

Man I missed a lot today lol.

Rip the effing band aid off. Do it now. Get this guy up outta there and actually give these guys a chance the rest of the way.

The longer this dead man walking gets to coach this team the worse it is going to get. The boos will get louder, the losses will keep mounting. His arrogant remarks and the way he carries himself are just making things worse. 
 

Let one these assistants take over the rest of the way and run a real offense and give them a chance to compete.

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? 

Cant imagine it would help lol, but I’m guessing he’s level headed enough to know college kids are gonna chant stupid stuff. Now if he was known to be close to Woody I would worry about it, otherwise it’s just tacky. 
 

The powers that be cannot be oblivious to this fact either. They made this bed last year, and now are reaping the results. They know Michigan will be particularly ugly if we lay a patented MW egg.

Can Cignetti get hiring powers to build the basketball staff? 

Bought Cig right away and think he may not be a bad interim coach if he didn't have to focus on the portal, lol.

I've seen enough.

Normally I'd say that after getting us back to the tournament in back to back years after not having been for four years straight, he could have a pass for an off year. But this year is SO ugly and so full of the same issues we've seen throughout Woody's entire tenure that I've lost all confidence in our ability to actually be competitive with this staff. Sure, we will probably win a few more games here and there. Maybe even an upset or two. I hate to be harsh because I'd have liked Woodson to succeed here, but I honestly don't think the team could do anything else to convince me it'll be worthwhile to have a fourth season with this staff.

The fact is, this team never had a chance because of roster construction. And it STILL has enough talent that it should be performing way better than it is. Woody's post game comments are particularly dry and lacking tone. Things are going to get ugly... I hope the admin spares us all the ache and pain after this offseason. Not getting my hopes too high though. All I know is I can't torture myself by watching many more performances like yesterday.

Woodson's antics have really hardened my view of him over the past year apparently. Apathy at an all time high... and a year later I am still torturing myself watching even worse performances than last year. Now, Banks and Gunn sure look like they could've helped more than they did. I hope us true fans are rewarded with a real coach next year.

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

Is KathywithaC coming back? We added 40 pages in the last 10 hours when she decided to fly by for a visit.

[BlueDevil 8,743]

I never meant to hurt you 

I never meant to make you cry but tonight 

I’m cleaning out my office

The day after a terrible, embarrassing loss, prompting yet more vitriol for our overmatched coach, KathyC appears -- almost out of nowhere. She talks down to everyone, tells everyone that despite two-plus years and over 1,500 pages of complaints, our desire for a new men's basketball coach is a knee-jerk, silly fanboy/fangirl reaction and is based wholly on emotion after ONE game -- rather than using any sort of intellect to arrive at such a conclusion. 

She insults the "insiders" we have here, uses "quotes" in "just about" every "response," spews out a bunch of "corporate speak," and then just like that ... poof -- she's gone. 

Good riddance...

Can’t remember which of the knuckleheads it was. When Dakich was named coach he called out the guys for skipping class, smoking and whoring. Whoever it was didn’t like being held responsible and he picked up a flower pot and threw it at DD

Doing a Google search, it was Eli Holman

Speaking of Dan, where in the hell is he these days?  Damn I am to the point now where I would settle for another interim gig from him!

It was Eli Holman. He survived the DD purge so it was Crean he threw the pot at.

Without question, and even when I’m not here, I’m always in your head and on your mind.
