This has to be one of the best typos ever.  I submit that IU must officially change the name to this until we have a new coach.

No game until Friday…seems like after a meltdown in the last minute in a crucial game is when optics of moving on are best.

I'm thinking a different Beard on the sidelines would have better results.

I like that option!!!

Buckner and Donna Spears from what I heard.  The other BOT members aren’t a problem but these 2 are Woodson bootlickers.  I do think Dolson can move when he wants assuming he has Whitten on board.

Fire them both too, lol!

Meh, not if their goal is to make it look like Woody retired instead of being fired. If a decision had been made to part ways mid way through the season, I think it would have happened already. A couple games would not change that. They’re more concerned about the optics at home and Woody’s legacy than the product on the court IMO. I think if he retires mid season at all, it’ll be just before the last couple games for “health” reasons. Probably best hope is just that they announce he will be retiring at end of year soon. Indiana basketball is utterly depressing.

I am not as convinced as I was him announcing retirement at the end of season cools things off as much as I once did. I am not sure that will sufficiently shield him from criticism

I agree with this, there’s some big names involved that want a change soon.

Does that include May, Thomas, or Buckner?

I saw a comment somewhere else that in spite of the loss, Indiana took steps forward today. 

 

Seriously can't believe how dumb the Internet has made some people. 

The only step forward was that our loss margin went from 22 points to 18 lol

The optics nonsense is some of the most ridiculous stuff I’ve heard.  Everyone knows Woody is being fired because he’s an abysmal coach.  Everyone.  Nothing is going to change that.

Just get it over with.

As has been said multiple times. Buckner needs to be forced to sit in the front row of every game watching this embarrassing product until a change is made.

The next day games will be complete beatdowns. Purdue is going to make Woodson look like a fool.

In fairness even if he gets blown out it won't be as bad as losing a game squarely because of your poor coaching decisions. He is under a microscope already and everyone took notice when it was obvious he has no clue. Trying to walk out without shaking hands and your own player having to save you from further scrutiny doesent help anything. Today was worse case for him. Possibly a blow out loss would have been equal but it's debatable. Looks like today the kids hustled and made enough shots to win but when they needed some guidance their was none to be found

No idea who could be the next coach . I think it  should be someone who does try to recruit Highschool kids in state at least be seen during the tournaments and be wiling to talk to the coaches and family .I don't care if the new coach wants to change things up a bit like names on the back of jerseys ,I do want the coach to look for someone or more than one who can hit 3 point shot and make free throws ,realize its a team sport and not try to be the one to always make the shot .

Woodson was always saying well wait till they are my guys ,well that is what this team is and guess what I think its awful .I really am not invested in keeping any of them ,let the new coach picks the team .

I understand where you're coming from, but is there a serious basketball fan on the planet that would not see through the "retiring for health reasons"? Sure, there are causal fans who might believe the spin, and they could even sell it as a simple statement for posterity's sake... but Woodson is a horrible coach who's failed at every turn, and there is honestly no way to hide that fact.

No only is Indiana basketball utterly depressing, it's the biggest scam in the entirety of the NCAA. My choice would still be to go full scorched earth on Woodson, Buckner, Ferguson, Spears and the rest of them...

BURN. IT. DOWN.

Oh don’t get me wrong, I agree. I just think they’re completely tone deaf / living in their own reality and that’s how I assume they’re seeing it. It is a **** show to put it mildly
