Wow. 
 

For a university athletic department to do this while funding all their scholarships through donations, that’s insane. 

It’s anticipation of the salary cap coming. $20M. That’s coming from the department budget not NIL.

I've said this in the last few games, but I'm not sure why Woodson has lately had such a short leash for Mgbako.  It's not like there are options that have been stepping up.  His shooting has been off but his ceiling is much higher than guys he's getting pulled for.  The best way for a shooter to lose confidence is to pull him if he's missing shots.

The other night when he got pulled after few minutes when he was 0-7 and then sat the rest of the half was a horrible coaching decision.  The looks weren't bad but he was ice cold.  Pull him quick -- say 0 of 4 -- coach him up, get him shots going to the rim to get him some confidence -- but basically what you've told him by sitting him is you can't play unless you make shots.  

His substitutions have never made any sense. It’s like throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. It also seems like guys get in the doghouse and others he ignores completely. Carlysle continuing to get minutes and putting up an exorbitant number of shots is baffling to me. He either A. Doesn’t listen to the coaches, or B. woody dgaf about him jacking up terrible shots. 
 

Then you get someone like Mack who gets benched for missing open/good shots. Or Woody barking at Gallo when it seems like he’s the only one hustling at times.

Yes of course, but for an athletic department that brings in a **** of money, I’m surprised they are actually laying employees off. I figured that would only occur at the lower P4 level.

Agree. I think it's just me and you bud.  
Because if this is how they handle it they suck worse than we feared. 

The iu administration has proved over the last 20 years to always do the unthinkable. Keeping Woodson on is going to happen.

Would Woodson really go and coach tonight’s game with his assistants having been asked to replace him?

Anything that gets Woodson out of town is a win... the results with an interim will be no worse that with the Parasite King.

It’s simple. Woody sucks.

The percentage of departments that have excess money each year is very low. And this is money taken away from an existing budget. Think 20% of a big budget now allocated somewhere else. That’s what is happening.

I think Hova already made this reference in the thread but if that is actually the dynamic playing out, totally feels like a season finale for the IU basketball version of Succession lol. Somehow despite the past 25 years... I have hope we can enter a new golden age for IU athletics. If we make the right hire and that comes to fruition... a lot of the thanks goes largely to Curt Cignetti and IUFB IMO. 

Dolson and Whitten too, obviously... if they get it done. 

Man, I hear you and tend to agree ... but it sure feels like we've all seen this movie before ... I keep looking at Cignetti and telling myself to "trust the process".

Well, you all may remember me fondly as the Woodson defender from last spring.  Let it be known that I am now 100% firmly planted in the "Fire Mike Woodson" camp.  You all were right.  I was wrong, and I'm man enough to admit that.  I was at the game on Tuesday.  The vibe was off before the game even started.  Get rid of him now.

@AH1971 @Ngw7183 @KathywithaC& a few others I’m probably missing.

FYI peeps…this is how you eat true crow to get back into the party!! Couple of you have sniffed it and moved it around the plate…but, it’s still sitting there staring you in the eye. Take a bite, choke it down!

Welcome back TF! First one’s on the house.

Maybe needed more time to figure out logistics of who would be the interim, how to message the decision, etc... ? Hopefully

And that takes longer than an hour?   No, the circus is missing some clowns.

As Chris has stated, this stuff takes awhile to get in order.  This is a major institution, and they just do not change directions on a dime.  This is like changing direction of a big tanker.  It takes awhile to get everything in order.  At this point it should not really matter to any of us WHEN this happens as long as it happens.  

Nonsense.  How long did it take them to launch Knight when he violated “zero tolerance.”

Hey at least we can cross between 2-4 missed threes off of our final stat line tonight.

Basketball aside , I always admire people are not afraid to be wrong. In the end we all just want what’s best for our school. Good on ya.
