Did none of us fools ask the Jolly One for a new basketball coach?! Is there still time?!

I did, but I think it was lost on the mall Santa as I sat on his lap

If Quinn Buckner stays on the BOT Mike Woodson will still not be the coach next year.

His base of support is eroding.  Not all of his supporters are blind to the product he puts on the court and they are coming to grips with his lack of effort in high school recruiting.  Consider this my Christmas to all of you — Mike Woodson will not be our coach next season.

Are you able to share here?

Sorry my guy. There’s this thing called journalistic integrity. I don’t understand it at ALL… but on an unrelated note, I can only share so much on public forums with my pals without it getting back to my source, and ending our stream of information. So you understand…

@Napleshoosier I can see from the emoji there’s some confusion. Literally. 

I’ll be more hypothetically clear - say you went to IU and were a student athlete alongside one of the greatest collegiate coaches of all time in his sport. Say you were best friends with his son, who also played for the team, and spent most holidays with their family because you didn’t have a father figure. Say, dog nabbit, if you wouldn’t know it, that friend ended up taking over for his dad and leading the most successful athletic program at your Alma mater into their next generation.  

Maybe that friend has a front row seat at the table of the athletic department and his dad continues to have a say to future AD’s about how to build a championship program and the type of personality it takes at the helm. And maybeeeee that friend knows you’re a die hard IU sports fan in general and puts you in touch with a few people in high places so he can get you to stop annoying him and his dad for information whenever things are going on. 

Maybe, just maybeee, that person would have a conversation or two to wish someone, or multiple someone’s, a merry Christmas - that may or may not naturally lead into a conversation that gives this particular someone, some “inside” Information that he chooses to pass along to fans just like him, who he knows care as passionately about this school’s athletic programs. But maybe he thinks to himself, if I type exactly what I just heard on the phone, it’s gonna be pretty obvious to the person I just got off the phone with, that it’s me who is posting information on message boards. 

Maybe this guy decides to keep it simple but still pass on some interesting info for his online buddies - without risking a stern talking to from the people he considers family and/or a father.

Hope this helps clarify.  

Happy holidays faceless names on a message board I consider friends!

It was… to the fan base… not necessarily to the powers that be.

He should have been done after last season.

My guess is he doesn’t.  He thinks he going to be the coach until he ready to step down.

This is funny but I for one am very confused!  Ok, just maybe thinking you have inside info and you may have shared a little in an earlier post that I did see or it still means nothing.  Oh, to all a good night!!!

Should've. Would've. Could've. It wasn't but that doesn't mean he'll continue to get more chances.

For the love of all guys; it’s his last season.

IU is a monster economic machine with incredibly perceptive people in charge. They gave him his four year cycle and now we will move on.

I and others have said this so so many times. And it’s been constantly stated because it’s flat out true.

Barring a final four miracle, yes. It’s been discussed how to transition for the best of all parties.

Brother, you’re welcome to check my posting history. Shoot @Chris007 a message or ping ESPZyn on Twitter - heck if you can find Birdman from back in the day, please, pull him out of retirement. We all private message each other to confirm we’re hearing the same thing from different sources. I’m not a troll. I’ve been here a long time. This is anything other than “thinking I have a (little) inside info.” Have a happy Christmas Eve and feel free to block me if you don’t agree with what’s coming from my account. :)
