Archie didn't recruit him the way he should have and did he ever offer? 

We are talking about Braden Smith, right? I thought he was going to suck without Edey?

So only 10 games left ,how many games does IU have to lose before  MW  realizes its over ? Just trying to figure out how he keeps thinking he can turn this around .

He still thinks it's early in the season. I got 7 new players man. We are trying to figure it out just like everyone else. He seriously must think they play 82 games.

I think I remember reading on Peegs that Jeff is a retired detective from Colorado. If I’m wrong @jeffincol. 

Retired LE yes, turned into systems analyst. But I'm very local to southern Indiana.

Yes he still think he is in the NBA  and anyone ask him how Louisville  is doing okay with a new coach and all new team ?

Thank you and please do.

I’ll share another story relevant to some of your expertise.

My son, again, was waiting tables and had an older couple in Celtics gear, it was this summer a couple days after the Celtics won the title. He says to them you must be happy and the couple said yes, especially since their son is the GM (which is funny as he is actually the President).  My son tells them he is a big IU fan and that we are always hoping Brad would coach IU.

His Dad says, “us too!  But he would never do that to Butler”

It is a Dad talking, who knows, and things obviously can always change, but I always found it interesting that he said that.

One can dream…

Probably the most accurate inside information posted in this thread. 
 

Now back to tracking flights…

 

(I’ve really come to love coach search season)

If and when it happens, I'll get excited. Otherwise, I'll believe it when he signs the contract and is in Bloomington.

It goes beyond ego with woodson. There is something mentally off. His inability to see reality or accept and sort of criticism makes me think he has other issues. He is just in LA LA Land

Hahaha so true. 

Years of heartache and soul crushing poor decisions from our beloved Hoosiers makes a 7 year contract with Michael Lewis or a lifetime contract with Randy Wittman all seem like realistic expectations.

Well, I just assumed that your handle indicated that you live in C-bus, IN.

I’d like to add Grant McCasland to the candidate pool if we aren’t getting a top end candidate.

He’s won everwhere. Seems like a Southern guy but, WTH.

I’d fly back to Bloomington if it meant I could track some planes at the airport.

I mean it’s an obvious throwing shade at woody quote…but at the same time how many days do you need to prepare to beat a 16 seed?

It like what Painter said in the InsideTheHall tweet, and it could be directed at Woodson, lol:   “"We start practicing in June. And you "We start practicing in June. And you look at it and February is around the corner. February is Saturday. So if you ain’t got it figured out now, you don’t know what you’re doing. If we get in a game and call something and somebody doesn’t know what they’re doing, it’s like, ****, I shouldn’t be coaching. at it and February is around the corner. February is Saturday.

I thought he would statistically take a step back, at least, without his safety blanket. But he took another step up in the offseason. 9 assists with that crew is crazy. Probably the mvp of the conference, if not the best overall player.

Oh I am…that’s the only fun I’ll have over the next two months: taunting Purdue fans and anyone who will listen about our upcoming Stevens led dynasty. Then we can just pretend it never happened when Buzz Williams is announced as coach.
