Off topic and very nerdy, but on the note of burners/alt accounts, it's really funny to think about how many of our country's Founding Fathers were literally Anonymous Posters. Pseudonyms and the Debate over the Constitution (csac.history.wisc.edu) ...An excerpt: 

The most prolific and profound public debate in American history occurred over ratifying the Constitution in 1787–1790. Much of this debate occurred in the print media—newspapers, broadsides, and pamphlets. Thousands of anonymous essays signed with a pseudonym appeared either as a single, stand-alone essay or as part of a series. After their original printing, essays were often reprinted in other newspapers and were sometimes compiled in pamphlet anthologies with other like-minded essays. For a wider distribution, individual essays were occasionally published as a pamphlet; while broadsides (usually a single sheet of paper printed on one side) often targeted a local audience sometimes preceding an election. The longest series of newspaper essays consisted of eighty-five numbers of The Federalist written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay under the pseudonym of “Publius.” These essays were subsequently published in a two-volume edition in March and May 1788. ... 

Furthermore, during a time when dueling was not uncommon, writers were reluctant to acknowledge their authorship of harsh or abusive rhetoric that might provoke a duel. Eleazer Oswald, the volatile printer of the Philadelphia Independent Gazetteer, regularly threatened writers and even other printers who alienated him. In January 1786, Oswald challenged fellow Philadelphia printer Mathew Carey to a duel after Carey printed a scurrilous poem written by Carey that maligned Oswald. Oswald survived the duel unscathed, but Carey suffered a serious leg wound that hobbled him for fifteen months. It was reported that a number of Philadelphia printers and authors cautiously avoided Oswald for fear of being challenged to a duel.

...

Makes me think of our Haiku for Mike Woodson.

I challenge Scott Dolson to a duel 

Hornsby challenges Scott Ferguson. 

Who wants the final boss, Quinn B himself?

Imagine getting doxed, and subsequently challenged to a duel. 

You have disparaged me for the final time Silence Dogood!

That's why you force him out now, prior to the search/negotiations with the next coach.  No need to wait until the end of the season when the search/transfer portal are so close.

I doubt Woodson will be fired and then IU have an open search.  I believe that Dolson will need to have a handshake deal with a coach's agent prior to Woodson being fired.  Although most of us would be fine with anyone but Woodson, he has his influential supporters that are going to require Dolson to have a "name" coach wrapped up.  If he can't get that name, I'm fearful will be stuck with Woodson another year.

Good find.  He’s got his go to statements.  Here is what he said when he was interviewing for the Knicks head coach job in 2020 (referencing his first stint with the Knicks):

"I did my job when I was here," Woodson said. "We won games.“

To think we just could’ve bought the greatest hits album, instead of trying to lay down some fresh tracks!!
