I would say no way did Dolson expose “The Plan” with the assistants or he is a complete moron.

in no way does that happen without an immediate move. If that happened and an immediate move wasn’t made that is child’s play. Never in my career have I seen something like that. You don’t let subordinates know a boss is being let go unless you do it a minute after informing them.

Right. That may be the most ridiculous rumor of all.

Allegedly...a MBB player sent harassing email(s) to another athlete.

I know that can't be accurate. I don't know anyone under the age of 25 who has ever sent an email. Texts perhaps?

Lol… I have three college aged kids and they all send plenty of emails. Not for social interactions though. So if someone isn’t a friend on Insta or Snap and you don’t have their cell for a text that’s how a young can reach out.

I received an email from the IU Athletic Department a few days ago: 

From: iuad@indiana.edu

To: lamarcheeks@gmail.com

Yo Kenya,

Be ready, bro. You're on tap.  

Peace, 
SD 

Pretty sure it sent to my address by mistake, though.

I just don’t see us talking to the staff about an interim plan and then we just not do anything. But I’ve been wrong many times before.

Oh I’m sure ScottyR was there to tell you when you were wrong lol

This is a thread on the basketball board. Let’s  keep it on topic.

Let's not be too hasty here, we're watching reverse psychology at work

100! End this and talk hoops. Seriously. Nothing good comes from this.

My goodness I love you guys like my crazy uncles but just like them we have some real morons in here. You can tell you’ve never worked at a University.

I teach and you couldn’t be more incorrect.

If our 11 conference wins are...

Minnesota(sucks)

Rutgers(sucks)

At Penn State(non NCAA tourney team, not as good as thought to be)

USC(not good)

At Ohio State(won't make the tourney likely, not as good as thought to be)

at Northwestern(non tourney team)

Maryland(meh, super bubble, hard to say if they'll make the tourney or not)

UCLA(tourney team? Maybe? Maybe not?)

Penn State

At Washington (terrible)

Ohio State

Yea I don't see those 11 conference wins getting you in. I don't care about what quad wins you have, committee looks at that subjectively enough to know, that isn't a good resume attached to a resume with zero accomplishments in the non conference outside of getting blown out. So I think they have to win 12+ and 1 or more has to be stealing a win over Purdue, Wisconsin or Michigan State.

You are really bending yourself into a pretzel to try to come up with a way that 11-9 doesn’t get them in.  Basically by hand picking these ‘wins’ to make IU’s resume look bad you are leaving IU with only losses for the season that are quad.  That’s basically what an Oklahoma team’s resume was a co yo ole of years ago when they got left out EXCEPT they were 19-14 and not 20-11

“Mackenzie’s deal is kind of unique because the crazy thing is Mackenzie’s mom reached out to coach Woodson with a text,” Hunter said on the Hoosier Hysterics podcast last week.  “And so that’s initially how it got started. We didn’t know him, but just obviously (Mgbako) being from the New Jersey area, and Coach (Woodson) being a Knicks guy, and just the people around. So she actually reached out to coach first and inquired about us recruiting her son.  So that’s initially how it kind of came about.”

Woodson says he first saw Tucker three years ago at IMG.
 
"I watched him work and said, this kid is really skilled. He can do a lot of things, but they told me he might go to elsewhere, so I walked away."
 
Then last spring, Tucker's father called Woodson to see if he was still interested in his son.
 
"I said absolutely. I'll be on a plane tomorrow to talk to you about him. We were able to get him to Indiana."

Man, I felt from the beginning that Woodson is a lazy recruiter, but this just confirms it. Walking away from a 5 star recruit because he "might" not be interested? Unreal.

What I have found is that younger people only use email when they are required to by employers, schools, etc., and that is difficult to get them to do. They never use emails to communicate with each other. My employer has numerous employees under 25 and we went to WhatsApp for official communication because they never looked at their email accounts. I also worked for a college and the college found that email communication to students didn't get responses unless the students also allowed their parents to read their email accounts.

@chris Are we still confident that no matter how we get there, he is most likely gone at the end of the season? Barring a final four run....

[SlammySammy 112]

I wonder if Sisley decommitting would cause an instant "retirement"?

This is just my opinion, Chris, Stuhoo, Jerry and many others are in the know, but if he hasn’t made an announcement about retirement after the Illinois game, Trent Sisley decommiting isn’t going to phase him either.  Now he may get some pressure from Dolson, but he had 0 commitments last year around this time so I don’t see that changing anything 

[AKHoosier 7,058]

Why are we discussing Sisley decommitting?

Are there rumors I'm not aware of, or are we just talking hypothetically here.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 85,732]

Trent Sisley is NOT decommitting from IU.  He committed to Indiana University NOT to Woody.
