Yeah I 100% interpret that as a shot against our program under Woodson. 

I totally get how it comes across that way. I just think he's speaking candidly and IU isn’t even remotely on his mind.

Guys, Woodson clearly just needs more in NIL to build his roster. 12m should be enough to beat *checks record* Nebraska.

The all access boosters will pony up.

Last 4 games vs Huskers.  Oof!   

 Nebraska 86, Indiana 70

 Nebraska 85, Indiana 70

Nebraska 93, Indiana 66

Nebraska 85, Indiana 68

IU losses by an average of 16 points in the three games that Woodson didn't quit and leave early, where they lost by 27. So Woodson makes this team 11 points better by his mere presence.

All of you that say he doesn't do work clearly don't understand the subtle nuanced impact of Woodson's bench snoring.

Is he using the extra $6M on Fred Hoiberg?

Yikes. Pretty hard not to draw a line to why he’s not at IU lol. I don’t blame the kid at all, he’s thriving under Hurley.

So, I had the pleasure of going to a home game this year and was seated in the 76-club area.  Very nice by the way.  While there I talked with a former player on many topics.  One being the current coach.  Not good....  He confirmed that he is protected by the Board (Buckner and one or two others) and that if you go against him (Woodson), you are out.  Fife and Matta were in place before Woodson was hired, and he did not like that at all and you see where they ended up.  Looking back, I don' t remember who was in place before whom but I thought Woodson was announced before Fife or Matta so assumed he hired them.  He also confirmed that Dolson had a different path, and it was shot down.  He did not say who that was but said it was a homerun. He mentioned that Dusty May is not off the table once Buckner is out.  Said the buyout is low on purpose.

Other former players are no longer welcome around the team (see Brian Evans comments).  I was really in shock with all he shared with me.  How can the IU program allow this to happen?  How can the boosters allow this.  The program has to be bigger than one or two people.  So sad. 

Take it for what it's worth.  Which may not be much lol.

And there you go....prime example of a guy hiding behind a message board persona, yet wanting to insult someone by saying something he probably (hopefully) would never say to the person face to face.

Guess mods have decided that in this thread, anything goes. Even though the forum guidelines clearly state otherwise.

Really?

You’re in the middle of a thread titled “Fire Mike Woodson”, ask not to have character assassinations . . . But THIS ^^^^^ has you up in arms? I can only imagine the angst if he’d stolen cookies from your cookie jar . . .

Why are you really in this thread? You’re now trying to be the forum police? C’mon - you’re better than this.

In Fife and Matta, I thought it was more that Dolson hired them to help Woodson, but Woodson didn't hire them. I didn't think they were in place before Woeful Woodson was.

Apparently he's not. It's not new behavior... he's here to beat the Woodson for King drum, and is ceremoniously unavailable to watch when Woodson craps the bed with his coaching prowess...

Quinn Buckner's actions may not be criminal in terms of legal statutes, but it's hard to argue they haven't been - minimally - a MASSIVE conflict of interest, ethically. There will be no legal repercussions, but we certainly don't need to glorify them as legends of the program. Their accomplishments as players 40+ years ago are completely undermined / discredited by their conduct in the present day.

There is a reason they call him the king of indiana. This is the 1976 grey haired boys club. They feel he is owed this and the boosters know they must pay up for access. There is a reason the only assistants around the king stink. Try are all yes men who never ever question the king. This is by far the worst hire iu ever made but the old boys club doesn't care. It's all about old stories and having one of their own. Woodson has divided not only fans but former players as well.

Smartest decision this kid ever made was backing out of IU commitment.  This 18 year old kid is smarter than IU's BOT.

Believe it or not this is directly from Woodys wiki page.  Someone is punking the public:

 

Woodson embraced "a modern style of play" at Indiana. He implemented "a four-out one-in offensive system that highlights versatile athletes in a free-flowing system" and "made a point to emphasize that he understood the importance of 3-pointers."^[24] Woodson also utilizes analytics to help determine player combinations.^[24]

Clearly that was edited by Mike Woodson.

Very smart he wanted more than money. All Woodson could offer if cigar smoking buddies money.

That's no doubt a shot.  Without a question.  Geez.  If our basketball program was relevant and making waves it would be harder to brush this stuff off.  Zero enthusiasm and trust that our team is going to be good or even a tournament team.  We are basically 13th of 18 BIG teams right now.  And the B1G isn't even that great this year.

IMO there is a real chance we miss the BTT.
