Because those are our most likely wins. Let's be honest, we're going to be a dumpster fire at Pressure, Wisconsin, Michigan State and Oregon. Probably all 3 will be 15+ point losses.

This is college basketball.   They will win games you think they will lose and they will lose a game you think they will win.   Anyone can play the what if game when it comes where the wins will come from.   Even with your 11-9 case with the wins you handpicked that’s still a resume that will probably get them in the tourney.   Road wins against teams like Washington are still resume wins regardless of what fans think.   That would be at least 5 total wins away from home against Q1 or Q2 teams with 4 of those wins away from home against current  top 100.  I know your hatred for high major mediocre teams making it but that’s where the selection process is at.   I could make a strong case for IU going 9-11 and sneaking in the tourney.   If I hand pick the 4 games as sweeping Purdue, beat Michigan and Sparty and that’s a resume that would compare nicely to a bubble team.   The last 4 in resumes usually are crap and if a team would have 0 Q3 losses and big Q1a wins they are probably going to make it.   I don’t have to agree with it but that’s how it’s been as long as I’ve been projecting the tourney and until they change it that’s how I will continue to project it

I mean yeah they do it for school, etc., but I can’t remember the last time I sent an email to a friend. I don’t think I even know some of their email addresses.

In any event, based on what was shared on here, I feel pretty confident that I’ve guessed what happened.

The reasons i want an interim coach are 1) we’ll get actual information from people in the know about who is going to be here next, we won’t get much until he’s officially fired/“retired” and 2) because i think our team is talented enough to make a run but don’t want Woodson to get the credit for it and it somehow change things 

I would add a third.  The whole basketball world would know for sure that IU will be hiring.  Gives us more time to gauge actual interest from good candidates.  .

Well do you honestly think Woody is smart enough to figure out what the problem is?

Yeah, because he would never look in a mirror in search of the source of the problem,.

Trying to talk myself into just being “chill” and expect nothing to happen til seasons end and just enjoy the rest of the year knowing once it’s over he’ll be gone….but the thought of a chance of him getting kicked to the curb early is still grasping on for dear life, ha. 

Yep this is where I am. Just enjoying college basketball as a whole, rather than focusing on rooting for my team. 

I'm 100% certain we will have a new coach next year, and that's all I really care about. 

The timing of Woodson's departure won't come on my time and that's ok. It's only important that it happens.

I don’t know anything about recruiting but it was my understanding that Sisley just wants to go to IU. I think he knows IU will hire a good coach. He can always transfer later on.

Yeah,

Can’t imagine his desire to attend IU is because of Woodys approach/scheme with wing players. 

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Sisley family is hoping Woody is fired/retired/pushed out.

Yeah I just assumed there was some confusion since usually the rumor mill would be running wild if something was out there about a player sending crazy emails

The emails in question was to Taco Bell. It was a complaint email that Mgbako sent to corporate that he was waiting too long for his Chalupas.

It is college basketball. It's also a Mike Woodson team and TJD isn't walking through the door.

Then why did you list 6 more wins to get them to 11-9? just say Mike Woodson is coaching them so no chance at 11 wins 

[KNOBYDOX 161]

I don’t think there’s any chance of getting to 10 wins with MW as coach

Here is where we are. Insiders are telling people things that are not true. Maybe they think it’s true. But it doesn’t really matter. Those people  go to social media and say this is what I’m hearing. IU fans, thinking that IU cares about winning basketball, fall for the insider tidbits. We get fooled. And then we come back for more because we want IU to be good. But the power brokers don’t actually care about winning basketball  

And that’s where we are. 
 

so

so 

They showed they didn't care about winning when they hired Mike Woodson; no serious program would've even considered him.

I think the family has been communicating with Dolson since he committed.
