Yea.  He hadn’t achieved anything notable and it wasn’t like another school was going to poach him (lol!!!).

I know this will be a (very?) unpopular opinion, but I would choose Rosemond. Every game I've been to in Woodson's tenure, I've had very good seats and can watch the bench interaction closely.  Rosemond appears to be, by far, the most engaged coach and isn't afraid to get into Woodson. Personally watched him keep Woodson from costing us the St. Johns game in his first season, Woodson was totally discombobulated.  That was actually my first "Oh ****" moment with Woodson, just seems totally lost/confused at times.  If you watch the games that Hunter scouts...those tend to be the ones where we look the least prepared.  

Lastly, Rosemond does seem to be the ONE good recruiter on the team.  The only real successes that I can think of have come from him.  Maybe he can keep the team engaged enough to fight the rest of the season and possibly keep a few around for the next regime.  Just my 2 pennies worth.  

He is currently undefeated as (active) Head Coach, so....

Yea this one is a silly argument to me. Cal, Ya, Kenya, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, it doesn’t matter who is interim coach. This season is lost, and winning a few extra games doesn’t matter. There is no recruiting class to keep together. I’d guess we are hardly recruiting right now at all anyways. This whole team is probably going to be flushed by the next guy. IDGAF who steers this bus to the finish. 

This!  Just make it clear it's an interim tag not leading to a full-time hire.  I suspect that anyone on the staff could get some decent wins with our talent level...and allow us to end the season on at least a neutral note.

Was the buyout restructured at the same time tho?

If Dolson hires Ya or Rosemond, I am out....after over 30 years....done....

As an interim to finish the year, whatever. If they hired him full time then I might root for Kentucky; fortunately that won't happen.

It was, but the total buyout was increased by $4.2M at the same time.

I'm really confused why we'd want Cheaney in this spot, for a multitude of reasons. 

Cheaney doesn’t want to be in that spot anyway.

If you took the top 10 most puzzling moves made by college athletic departments over the past 25 years I think IU would own probably half of them.

Armond Hill.

Just kidding, that'd probably make us miss Woodson's coaching.

"Wake up, Armond! It's the under 16 timeout!"

I'd have to find someone, because I wouldn't be able to keep pulling for IU at that point.

Typical business negotiation. Both parties got something out of it.  Plus, the program was on a different trajectory than it is now.    There were definitely high hopes going into this season. 
 

the buyout structure is very appealing for Dolson now thank goodness.

And I’m not defending it, but can understand it. At least at the time.

Anyone but Kentucky. Or Duke :P I'm not a fan of either lol but I'm just giving ya grief, you root for whoever you want hahaha

Crean could probably win with this roster, but I wouldn’t want him long term. It would be terrible publicity to hire him back after firing him just to let him go again.
