I'm sorry  but not going to argue with Katchy about this but I got a text from someone higher than her last night that said some serious conversations are going on right now at the highest levels about ending this nightmare immediately. 

Needs to happen...now.

The administration’s “process” is dog water and has led to decades of ineptitude. The solution is simple. These people just need to get out of the way and let Scott cook. 

The process has never been the problem. Leadership has been the problem.

If I'm Woody and looking at our remaining games....I'm resigning or making Scott fire me. Purdue might, sorry 100% will, hang 100 on us and the mere thought of Dusty coming into Bloomington and getting the cheers and chants, not to mention the W, why deal with that ****? There's so little he can do short of an Elite 8 or better that will please us at this point. That is not happening. 

Woody - you still have a legacy at IU - don't completely ruin it. It didn't work, man. Move on.

From what I've been told, QB remains an issue with how/when we move on from Woodson and he will still want to be a large voice in deciding who we would hire going forward even with his term ending this year.

This is the concern. Buckner will not turn his back on Woodson...and he probably cares less about the state of the program than Woodson. Buckner is quite literally a huge bottleneck in all of this.

The odds are high that firing him now would produce a worse, not better, record over the balance of the season. Interim coaches rarely produce better results. The energy around the program will rebound when a new coach is named, and that’s not happening for a couple of months, at the earliest. Even with a mid-season dismissal, they aren’t getting traction on a replacement until the season ends. Nobody in an existing job is interviewing now. Those are the only obvious things at this point.

Nobody really cares how the rest of this season plays out. Get Calbert to coach in the interim. The fanbase is united in Woodson being GONE...and if that means ASAP, so be it.

Hopefully not.  But you never know.  Millions of fans with some definite crazies in the mix who have been **** on by this administration for 25 years.  Keeping him on until the season is over you risk something like a Dave Bliss situation that brings down not just the basketball program but the university.

Why do that when we all know he’s gone?  That’s some very inept and irresponsible management.

How does this, in any way, create an environment that would “risk something like a Dave Bliss situation . . .”? I know DB lost his way after his IU days and what he did at Baylor was horrible, but I’m not sure I follow you here.

Cashy is a classic internet Machiavellian troll: seemingly above the fray (but really is the fray) and knowledgeable (but without any specifics and only a general and broad reactionary to elicit a response. This board's finest of the sort. I'm more of a regular over at HSN than here, but surfing around for the tidbits of a rumors and news today. This person is a pro at what they do: troll while maintianing an effort to appear intellectually honest. Otherwise, Cashy wouldn't respond to emotional responses him/herself.

Spot on

I think I am finally to the point where we have to let the program fully die, for it to be reborn. The sad reality is that Indiana basketball doesn't mean much, if anything, any more in the college basketball landscape. Kids don't care about our dated championships, dusty banners, candy stripe pants, Bob Knight, and on and on...because none of it has ever truly meant anything in their lifetime. We are holding onto ghosts, and it's time we realize it's dead. 

Since 2000, we have made it beyond the 1st weekend of the NCAA tournament 4 times...per the article I just read, you can actually go back to 1995 and that number is still just..4 times. Since 1995 we have won 3 conference titles. In that same period (1995) we have gone through 6 coaches, trying to do the same things, touting the same tradition, with mostly the same results. Rinse, repeat. 

It all has to die...and a new voice, with new traditions, new facilities, new identity, new expectations, new everything has to be reborn. We have to step into the current times and modernize the program. Give the new coach total control to change whatever they want, to try to rise this program from the ashes. 

No.  All we need is a competent coach who knows what he is doing.  Mix the new with the old traditions.  Recruit the right players.  Put them in a position to succeed -- sound offense/defense schemes.  With the right guy, it's actually simple (not easy).  Crean was almost the right guy, but had some gaps.  Archie and Woodson, not so much.  But there are plenty of guys out there that won't make us look like a laughingstock that we are this morning.
