He owns the entire area of jiffy Treat and that shopping center plus the new crew car wash. Who else has money in it? You guessed it. 

I did not know this… makes it MUCH harder for me to believe this entire 4 year situation has not been entirely a scam to transfer undeserved wealth to Woodson and enrich his friends along the way at the expense of the IU men’s basketball program. I’m sure they feel it’s owed to them though… they hung those dusty banners and put up with Coach Knight all those years after all… in 2025, basketball and IU are secondary/after thoughts for the head coach.

Interesting comment from Fornelli

Is this different than the one posted about 4 pages back?

Woodson didn't seem to be coaching nearly as hard as he was against Ohio State...

What is this? You expect hard coaching every game? It's a long season, 82 31 whole games. You have to pace yourself.

I knew the Jiffy Treat area, plus the apartment complex by Pizza Hut but didn't know the new car wash

I believe Buckner owns some rental properties too!

I think it’s time he invests in a new practice facility tbh. That thing is getting old despite renovations.

100%. In absolutely no way was hiring a 63 year old semi-retired Mike Woodson in the best interest of the IU basketball program. It was an atrocious decision then and hasn’t gotten any better four years later.

I at least thought he’d be motivated to work hard at the job because he was an “IU guy,” but he’s shown he couldn’t care less. I reallyyy hope we only have two more months of this crap.

I don't think I've seen this discussed, but doesn't Woody own several pieces of rental property here in Bloomington? (Residential and commercial)

I ask because I've heard stories recently that made it sound like he's actively managing those properties... as in doing business at Cook concerning those properties...

1) Can anyone confirm?
2) Does this bother anyone other than me? The dude doesn't watch much game film and can't be bothered to recruit but can manage a side hustle?

Imagine having Mike Woodson as your landlord. “I know it’s 10 degrees outside, but it’s not my job to fix your heat.”

Just checked out ticket prices for Sunday and now I’m torn between getting my family McDonald’s for dinner or going to an IU game. Would save a few bucks going to the game..

....not if you have the McDonald's app.... lol

He and his cook friends own Jackson Heights and a few others. They have owned them for years. Anytime you see managed by CFC Properties that is him and the guys I mentioned.

 

Completely off point, but I lived in Jackson Heights for a year when I was in school -- back in 1987-88. Don't know what it's like now, but back then -- were pretty nice apartments. Fun place to live.

What's depressing is I've heard from some AAU/high school coaches that the assistants actually bust their butts recruiting and do a pretty good job. However, the head coach and recruitment closer is very bad and wastes a lot of their hard work. 

IF he even bothers to show up for the meeting...

It might be pizza night at the Fellas Lounge, if so he is booked up.

Not knowing anything, but just reading these posts it sounds like Woodson and his cronies are just using the coaching façade to buy up as much Bloomington as they can

[Hornsby 2,274]

I was a little worried at half the king might win and gain some 5th year momenteum, then I remembered the bob knoght quote.

 

Then I looked down toward the other bench, and I saw Dale Brown standing there. I knew then that we had a chance.”

I lived there sometime around 95-98. They look about the same today as they did then.

Because those former players owned it, that is why a lot of players and managers lived there back then.

....this Sunday could be brutal for Woodson. The fans are seething and at an uprest over this year. The fans are getting louder and more vocal with each loss/poor performance. 

Time for the scorched earth display a SSAH.

The Mackey point you made is notable.

Can you imagine 15,000 Purdump dingbats chanting in unison "Keep Mike Woodson!"

It will be awful yet awesome when (not if) that happens.

....or better yet,.....replacing "IU Sucks" with "WE LOVE WOODSON!"

Good game of dominos and a fresh bottle of red just got popped. No time for recruiting

Woodson played for Knight for 4 years and didn't learn a d@mn thing about coaching or building a team...

Imagine having Mike Woodson as your landlord. “I know it’s 10 degrees outside, but it’s not my job to fix your heat.” 

One thing is clear woodson and Ferguson are thick as thieves and ferguson should not be anywhere near this program.
