Fire Coach Woodson Thread

Today certainly was an interesting day in Btown Banners world. 

To sum up ...

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.

Bravo - You were able to mischaracterize everything I said in one post.

Yep

Nope. He threw it at Crean when Tom told him he was no longer welcome at IU. Dan put his foot down after watching all kinds of stuff happen for months. There was a reason the University never considered him as the permanent coach, and it was his total lack of credibility. Those bridges will burn on for years.

Nah. Did not "mischaracterize" everything you said in "one post."

Actually, you did (it was your post where you managed to do this), but you knew that.

Yeah, memory is a little foggy. Thanks for the reminder

Actually, I didn't.

I was pretty spot on in my assessment. But you know that. 

You couldn’t have been further from the truth, but that’s a “you” problem.

Crean was a lot of things, but he actually worked extremely hard to try and clean up the mess he inherited, and he had a great respect for the University and our basketball program.

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

Eli Holman was not going to class and screwing up... and Tom Crean called him to the office to tell him that he was being dismissed from the team. Somewhere during the exchange, Holman asked Crean for bus money to leave town and Crean told him no... so he chucked a potted plant.

What kinds of stuff did Dan watch happen for months?

Glad to see you posting more.   Been a while 

You may regret it. I’m older, fatter, grumpier, and have 3 kids, mix that with Woodson’s coaching, it’s a lethal combination ;) 

Trying to get back to posting more, IU basketball will always be my number one sports team. Coaching and having 3 kiddos now just keeps me very busy and exhausted.
