No doubt there are signs woodson knows he is out. Just hoping i am not reading to much into them. I felt the same towards the end of last season and was wrong. My wild long shot prayer is dolson had his home run lined up last season but he couldn't start or commit to the job till 25 26 season lol. Hoping he talked woodson into staying to land the big fish. That's my dream!

I freaking guarantee you that nobody had to talk Woodson into staying. He set up camp and told the world "move me if you can". 

Hopefully, you're correct on the rest of this...

Jay Wright was never a possibility. Hindsight is 20/20

How do you know that? he was at freaking Hofstra. lol 

But either way, he was just an example of one of the 100s of coaches we could have had over Mike Davis.

You know IUBB dialogue is in peak form when the merits of Dane Fife as a coach / individual are being debated lol. Lord I can’t wait for this program to actually give us something to root for. Anybody thinking there’s a chance he’s gone after Illinois game is sorely mistaken IMO, not even remotely on the table. It’s either as soon as BTT ends or, if he’s really had enough, toward the end of the regular season on a Friday afternoon at 5pm - fading away into the night like a silent fart.

everyone is entitled to their opinion but the continuous bashing and calling Fife a “POS” and “a Prick” etc…is complete BS and nauseating. It’s gone on for what? 3 years now. That dude bleeds Crimson ‘n Cream and also, barring something unforeseen, he’s not returning to coaching. He’s built himself a successful career outside of basketball. 

I haven't called him any names but in my dealings with him as a player and as an assistant, he was the definition to me of a prick. But each their own. I don't speak about him much because I don't think he will ever have anything to do with the program again. 

[Certified Sunshine Pumper 9,251]

Only reason I was discussing Fife at all was because someone hoped he was the coach in waiting and I was confused by that. 

I can more than drop it though.

If we cover up rape? lol 

Yeah, I'm moving on. 

I love the fact that there are some very morally high standards for you and mamasa and I don't know where you work or what line of work you're in, but I highly doubt you would quite your job over something someone else did in your organization.  You may not have faith in them for being a good person and you may look for a new job at some point, but I doubt you would just quit without having something else lined up.  Maybe he tried, maybe he didn't.  Maybe he even knew about it, but I don't know his specific circumstances when happened do you?

 

LOL

Sure man. 

What line of work I'm in isn't relevant, you trying to cope this out is wild though.

Regardless of what kind of person Fife is... Fife's record at IPFW was 82-97.

Fire Mike Woodson

 

Any opinion on Florida's coach? Dudes got it going on in Gainsville right now. Is he going to get investigated?

Yea…if we kept Bob Knight. It didn’t work out that way and the 02 Team backed Davis.  Get over it. That was 23 years ago and our best team in 3 decades. 

Knight's championship winning days were already behind him.

He threatened to transfer if we didn't choose the coach he wanted, how cream n crimson is that? 

 

Dolson doesn't have to allow a damn bit of that. lol ... we don't need their money. 

Technically, Dolson has zero control.  These are supposed to be independent deals without University interference.  If the Simons want to hire a kid to promote a mall, they can now do it.  Of course, in the real world .  .  .

So we changed this thread to the Dane Fife fan club?

I agree, hard to judge someone in this instance.

similarly, I worked for a company that I found was not paying vendors, not paying staff bonuses and was in major debt despite sharing otherwise and continuing to bring on more promises and debt. I felt icky but I have a family and needed that pay check so I stuck around for almost a year while I looked for a way out

I've quit places due to the behavior of those in charge a few times. Those places are no longer in business. Don't try to act like you know a damn thing about what I would or wouldn't do.

and Archie record at Dayton was 

139–63 (.688)

68–34 (.667)

A lot of good that got us.  

I never said the line of work you were in was relevant I said you would not just quit, and I stand by that.  Unless you are independent wealthy, you're not quitting your job over what someone else did.  You may move on after you find another job, but you are not just quitting.

I am not sure why you are so bent on me saying they had hoped he was the answer or not.  There are numerous opinions on here about coaches. I never said he would be the greatest coach ever or even a good coach.  I never met the man and never had any interactions with him so I can't tell you what type of person he is.  He just seemed like he had the right mindset when I listened to his interviews at the time he was hired.

I stand corrected having quit a job a few times is commendable.  You taught them all a good lesson. 

 

Now let's fire Woodson and find the next great basketball coach for IU.

You could be right...I'm assuming though we would've had a very good chance of getting Oden, Conley, McRoberts and some of the other high end talent from the state in the early to mid 2000s.

Knight would have definitely already been retired before Oden and Conley came along in 2006.

He made the sweet 16 with Texas tech in 2005.  Then coached til 08

[Hornsby 2,145]

Knight made the tourney in all of his last six seasons and we were furious he was not advancing past the round of 32 at that point. Now its celebrated to just make the tourney.
