Fire Coach Woodson Thread

Well coming from quinn...

DALLAS —  Quinn Buckner, accused by the club owner of fostering widespread discontent on the team, was fired Tuesday after coaching the Dallas Mavericks to the worst record in the NBA this season.

Buckner had four years left on his contract. His team went 13-69 in a season marked by a chorus of complaints from his best players--rookie Jamal Mashburn, Jim Jackson and Derek Harper, later traded to the New York Knicks.

Sounds like he’s spreading that good cheer to the IU basketball program

Everyone wants him gone...well almost everyone, but  I see absolutely no one on this staff that wouldn't make this a bigger clown show.

The best scenario, which won't happen, is for Dolson to have a sit down with  Miserable Mike and to layout that he is gone after the season, and to explain the most gracious way and best way to go about it would be to announce, near the start of the B1G conference play season, that he has set this team on the right path ( an ego saving lie), but he is going to move on to his next phase of life after the season.

 

That allows him to be the (fake) controller of his destiny and also lets prospective hires  have their agents put out feelers and for IU to get a head start on vetting such.

Again, way too much common sense to ever happen unfortunately

We all know he isn’t going to do what is best for the iU basketball program, he only wants to do what is best for himself

The longer he stays, the more damage he causes.  It's such a shame we didn't move on from Woody last year.  It was so obvious.

Instead, we let him waste $6M in NIL, recruit a mediocre portal class, basically whiff on an entire HS recruiting class, and likely deliver another crappy season that further erodes fan interest and the IUBB brand.

If we had hired a new coach, we could be eight months into the road to recovery right now.  The $6M could have been better spent and I'd guess our HS recruiting class would be much better.  Plus we could be winning right now.

It's a shame.  IUBB is still very special and it shouldn't be neglected like this.  It can be so much more for the players, university, and fans.  

 

I think the portal class is much better than mediocre but they are only playing mediocre because their head coach is mediocre.  Teams take on the personality of their head coach and this team definitely has.  They are lazy, effortless, and doesn’t seem to communicate with each other well.

Possibly.  If we get a new coach it’s gonna be interesting to see what happens with the roster in the spring.

New coach with half the talent we currently have could do better than the current staff. As long as it's a good coach.

Just got home from a weekend of iu basketball mens and womens. Yesterday was incredibly sad to experience. Something must be done and I would recommend soon. If the fans don't want to watch the product that is probably worse than having a bad record. One pop from the crowed when malik got a slam and the foul. It's really hard to get excited because of the defense and the sleep walking on offense imo. Praying someone saves the mens program soon!

I'm guessing a new coach would not even want some of these high priced guys. It seems some may be here just for the paycheck

Seemed like I heard on the TV a smattering of boos, just a few times. Is that accurate?

We all knew that, it was like adding salt to a peanut butter fudge recipe that calls for sugar!

I still think it’s a big IF that we get a new coach.  We all know it needs done but the fact that Woodson doesn’t report to Dolson, which mind blowing in my opinion, creates the biggest obstacle and complication in this entire situation

Quinn is out in '25.  Not sure he has the power he did.  We'll see.

Quinn will try like hell to keep him. The donors need to stop funding this nonsense. If he stays starve him of nil money.

He’s not out until June of 2025, he still has his voice up till then.

Maybe, you could be right.  I'm not in world of people who influence IUBB.

But he got his wish in '21, it clearly hasn't worked, I'm not sure how much anyone will listen to him now.
