Fire Coach Woodson Thread

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan 6,286]

Guys---You're reading way too much into this.
All Cathy is saying is that Mike Woodson is going to coach out the remainder of the season before the university parts ways and announces a new coach hence the "official process". She's not doing anything but dispelling rumors and speculation that he's going to be replaced mid-season.
Pretty obvious. 

That's not what some want to hear so they resort to attacking her. I want Woodson gone now, but I'm not going to stoop to the level of attacking posters who say it won't happen until the end of the year.

I think the main problem on here is that to many actually believed there were talks about firing Woodson after Illinois game. When this doesn't happen then people go with the mob mentality and lash out towards the wrong people. You are lashing out to Dolson and the administration for not firing him right now when that was never the plan.

I think we all know IU is a bureaucracy.

[Hornsby 2,477]

She trusts the process

Why wouldn't she the process got us woodson.

My interpretation is that she’s laughing at guys like @Chris007 and @ap2345 who have this board thinking Mike Woodson is coaching on some game to game basis. She’s ending all speculation to that.

I would prefer you don't use my name. Thank you.

Didn't say it was good enough but show me where a coach was fired mid season with a winning record that didn't get fired for rule violations.

Chris Holtmann last year. 
 

Mike Davis. Aren’t you an IU fan?

She is not ending speculation of that at all.

She is antagonizing people frustrated by bad basketball through her dripping condescension about processes and stakeholders, lol. 

The people on this board would be in a tizzy and want him removed mid-season regardless of what any posters here write. We have multiple blow out losses under Woodson every year. People didn't even want him to get a 4th year, of course they're going to want him gone before it's over. Coming here to say that's not going to happen isn't a revelation, it's just a reminder to not care too much about IUBB, because they're currently not a serious organization. 

[Hornsby 2,477]

Opposing team fans are making signs and chanting for us to keep Mike Woodson. 
He has a winning record overall, 5-5 in conference play.
Jim Larranaga took Miami to a F4 not long ago and was retired at the start of the season. 
We're not serious in the slightest way. We like internal politics too much at IU to get stuff done. 

Honestly I think we are less serious than we have ever been. This is an incredible low point for the program but the admins are going to give him that full four years cause archie got it.

Yep, she is trolling.  I’ll admit she is very good at it.

I agree. More generally though, I like Pitino’s suggestion of doing the handshake before the game. Feels less potential to get messy

With all this talk about handshake line, didn’t Woody and Underwood call off the handshake line? After the skirmish at the end of the game, I think I saw them go up to each other and turnaround and call the players off. 

[Hornsby 2,477]

Yeah, he has a winning record at this point... at least on paper. He's 14-7 against a preseason full of cupcakes... lost 2 against B4A... and 5-5 against what's is largely the B1G bottom feeders... and it's about to get real.

Probably the least impressive 14-7 record in the power conferences when you look at who the wins were against.

If you can dish it out to Kathy and others then.why can't you take it when somebody calls you out. You act like you know all this information and you have tricked enough people to actually believe you know anything.

She’s not ending it anymore than they are creating it. C’mon now…

What real coach is on this staff that you can see that 

I mean all the assistants have spent their life in CBB. I don't think they are world beaters, but I do think they probably understand CBB more and sometimes you just need a reset (See, Diebler, Jake)

Of course not, which means there’s no contractual reason to fire Woodson today. 

Where did anyone say the reason for an in season firing would "contractual?"

It serves the purpose  to drive home the point that his coaching has been so substandard that to let it go on a handful of games is unacceptable, it serves the purpose to let unknown coaches that are interested to reach out through their representatives to kick start vetting, it serves the purpose to begin the healing of the fan base and their relationship with these players.

I doubt it happens, but there are reasons.

Mike Davis wasn't fired and he finished our the year

[Chris007 46,658]

@ap2345 We need to take our info to DM's since we give so many people bad info. We might as well include @JerryYeagley23too. Then people like Scotty and AH 1925, and Cathy don't have to read it.

[Hornsby 2,477]

Agreed but with that said glad Leal and Galloway are out of eligibility. 

Are we sure they are. Really don't want either one back

I’m not parsing anything. If you think firing Woodson today means Dusty May is going to officially interview tomorrow then you’re nuts.

Of course he wouldn't. But it would let him know that he's not going to get jerked around by IU in the same way Bruce Pearl allegedly did last offseason where you get to the point of talking numbers but then don't make a change (supposedly). May is a bad example of this because he is probably going to milk IU for a nice raise at Michigan anyway. But a guy like DeVries, Wade, etc...

I'm happy to move on and not ever respond to you again.
