Woodson’s refusal to adjust to a modern style of basketball has cost us numerous games. Chalk this one up as another. Malik and Ballo cannot be playing together. 

I alluded to this on a pure guess in the game thread. All those numbers suck except the last def numbers. Ironically people want us to go small to score but it’s the only way we can defend. Woodys offense is not good but defense is a much larger issue. I’ll scream this to my grave.

When Rice referred to Woodson as a grandpa it was a sign of how this season would go. 

This may be more old school...but coaches need to strike a bit of fear into their players. Sitting them on the bench is a good start...If not, then you're liable of having the players run the program. Clearly, grandpa is a term, you wouldn't want for the coach coaching/managing your favorite team or school. Now father figure can be different, because father's instill discipline, grandpas? not so much. Of all the great managers, and coaches...Joe Torre, Bob Knight, Coach K, Scotty Bowman...etc, I'm pretty sure not one of them has ever been likened to a player's "Grandpa."

Fear is a tool of the weak-minded. Respect vs fear has a clear winner. No person needs to try and make someone fear them.

IU is 5-4  with 3 blowout losses against 8 of the 9 worst teams in the B1G  and ILL and are days away from playing 4 of the top 5. If you want to see ugly stick around for a few weeks.

Dusty May on the Dakich show...IU really shi*t the bed not getting that guy.

His buyout at UM suggests he is very aware of our upcoming situation.

I remember some trying to claim south Carolina and providence were good wins

South Carolina 0-6
Providence 3-5

He doesn't have a good win.

Did also here DD play the Woodson press conference from last night and compared to the one of RMK after we won at NW in 87. Want to talk about a contrast in coaching styles. RMK was ripping on Alford for the lack of leadership and in this game he broke the IU all time scoring record

Worked for RMK, it is just today's players are coddled and soft

I would be surprised if there was. I have not been able to get much info other than there is a plan and timing is everything.

Worked for RMK; BUT today's players are not necessarily coddled and soft.

And a less disciplinarian coach than RMK can also win. Guys like Dean Smith, Wooden, Jay Wright, or for that matter, Brad Stevens and Dusty May have been invariably even-keeled and not especially harsh to players.

A coach needs to be really smart, really motivated, really competitive, and really hard-working. If that happens, the coach's team will reflect those traits. Identifying and recruiting guys that have or that can develop those traits is an important skill too.

Dakich played that same clip years ago and compared it to Archie Miller after a loss at Maryland, where Miller did nothing but praise Maryland's players. Amazing how 7 years later nothing has changed.

Maybe Woodson has a pocket full of Werthers for the kids on the team. :D

I assumed "fear" as in "fear of God" - respectful awe... but I could also be wrong. It happens (ask my wife).
