I would assume the players would get a heads up before an announcement is made. Suppose that could be wrong but they are not oblivious to everything going on either. 

Half the team is out of eligibility  next year anyways lol

That may be a daily activity for SlammySammy.  They don’t call him SlammySammy for nothing

Take off the hat and there is a strong resemblance 

My friends and I have been calling him Mr. Potato Head since he was coaching the Hawks.  The funniest was when he actually shaved his eyebrows off.

If we get an announcement on literal NBA trade deadline day of retirement, I’m going to assume the other thing is happening lol

it would appear Dolson and administration really don’t want to see Saturday devolve into a toxic mess, which I am happy for. I know it’s a relatively unpopular opinion but curbing boos and we want Dusty nonsense as much as possible is the right thing to do for IU Basketball and the players. Let Woody have leave with his head up and put this sorry chapter to bed. 

I agree, the "we want Dusty" chants would probably make Dusty cringe.  Not a good look.  He's fully invested in his team right now, and showing up Woodson isn't a good look.  I also doubt any coach, no matter who he will be, wants his name announced as our new coach while Woodson is still here if a retirement is announced.

I go to bed and wake up to Brad Stevens and Billy Donovan rumors being tossed around....did I time warp back to searches past or are we just playing the greatest hits again?!?!?!

Listened to the Torres podcast...says he thinks a lot of big names will want this job due to our NIL resources alone and its a more attractive job than people like to act like it is. Tosses out Stevens (says you have to make the call), Donovan (thinks he will be fired. Says if UK would of waited they could of had him), Beard (wants the job / Bob Knight stuff is no coincidence), May.

I think they have some idea.

Are you sure they don't have some hidden extra covid year. I could see Leal saying he is running it back. I want them all gone

I think he was happy to hear that we could continue to do that for him for the entire time he's here.

RTZ (RoadToZion) on HSN has also confirmed the Woodson retirement.

I'm loving that all the heavy hitters (with knowledge of the situation) are agreeing on this!!! I appreciate all that those on our board sharing information bring!!

he's too busy winning hardware at IU to have a keyboard in front of him for more than 5 minutes :)  Something I wish we could say for IU Basketball(IU Football already on their way to getting more and more hardware with Cig)

Are you privy to some more details than before when it comes to the backchanneling?

[Dave from Dayton 3,495]

Personally, I am not in favor of Beard.

I sport a mustache.

(Is Woodson still coach?  Oh.  That is tough.

Is he going to be pushed out?  Yes.  That is also tough.

The team will then be well coached and win? Yes.  They will miraculously get over the hump.   Not tough to figure all this out. 

Except vetting and selecting a coach that is a winner is a process...  Dolson did it with the excellent FB coach who is a winner.  Because Cignetti is experienced, knowledgeable, a leader, a winner, and tough.)

Could you back-channel to Steven’s and let him know I will personally bump up our NIL from 5,000,000 to 5,000,050?
Could be the difference maker. Your welcome.
