Does Woodson have one of these?

Oh I know. There is zero prep, zero effort or real thought put into any aspect of his job. Most of each game he spends sitting in his chair looking completely lost as to what's happening on the court. Northwestern repeatedly abused Mgbako with threes off screens. That's preparation and being able to recognize an advantage real time. That's X's and O's. That's just one example. We're going to see a lot more examples in many different aspects of coaching in our upcoming games. Most, if not all of the teams we're heading into will recognize our weaknesses in the film room and maximize the advantages they can glean from it on court during game time. 

There no game preparation.  He doesn’t play to his advantages and the opponents weaknesses.  He’s lazy and puts little effort into anything related to coaching, recruiting and developing.

Damn I feel old because my first real memories come from Woodson playing at IU 

That 1980 Big Ten championship run was something else.  Fondly remember that final game against tOSU.  Damn near cried when the Boilers bounced us on their way to the FF.  I miss that Woody.

IMO, apathy is a better weapon against the administration and Woodson than simply booing... but if "booing" is your only weapon, use it!

I think these home games can and probably will get ugly

Facts, all of them. It's been hinted at that there are psychological issues in play with Woodson. If true, I have to wonder how severe they are, and I have to wonder how long they've been affecting him. If they were present pre hiring I then have to wonder if the administration knew and allowed the hire anyway. But that's a complicated rabbit hole in and of itself. Hell this whole situation is. Who knows what the truth is as to why he does things the way he does. I just simply cannot understand how he thinks he can win without completing a single coaching task required to be successful, especially knowing who HIS coach was. It just breaks my brain. I'm not a coach and the extent of my on court experience was getting up roughly a thousand shots a day decades ago and playing one vs one against one of the actual players at my school and even I understand this stuff. I just watch our games and the whole time I'm asking myself how he doesn't get it? Even I know you can't just chuck money to hang banners so someone please explain it to me :(

Even though apathy maybe starting to set in, I still can’t root for them to loose!  I just going to watch the game with less emotion than I usually watch.  I’m with Stuhoo on this one!

I'm In your camp also but...

The only way he's getting to the final four is by buying a ticket.

Way less likely but Cheetah Clean car wash had a raffle I won for a trip to 2023 FF in Houston

No thanks. I think if he gets year 5 I'm done even following iu anymore. I'd need to find a serious program to root for.

Non zero chance I'd be looking for a serious program too, hate to say that because I grew up watching IU games with my dad and loved the program. They were so laughably unserious when they hired Woodson to begin with, keeping him for a 5th year would just prove they have no intention of actually winning anything ever again.

You’ll be one of three, you, Isiah and Randy Whitman 

Don't forget Buckner. The program he supposedly loves would be dead and buried but his buddy would have the job.

The best weapon would be not buying tickets etc, they would absolutely notice when the money dried up.

I've heard bball donations from normal fans (both to the athletic dept and NIL) are way down.  Our mega donors can make up for this, but the small fans do add up to millions of $, and thankfully it sounds like they're all giving to football where their money is used about 1,000x better. 

I'm sure bball gameday revenue is down too.  And lastly, bball is marketing for the university, and we've totally irrelevant, so none of that is happening.

Sucking at basketball has a lot of negative financial impacts.

Landing the Bosnian should mean nothing to the administration.
These day (I.e. portal/NIL)  the fear of losing  recruits, or players, should totally be out the window.

If admin retains him, it won’t be because of Harun Zrno.

I’ve never heard about the psychological issues.  You often wonder why he forgets players names and the way he summarizes a game is pretty general but I don’t want to read too much into that but that just all I’ve noticed.

I'm with you Scott, I can't not watch, but I don't schedule around Iubb games like I used to!  I want to LOVE watching IU play basketball again!

This…100%

….every week during IU basketball season, my wife would ask me when and what times the game were each week. She’s a hair stylist and would also schedule around clients to be able to catch all the games. Lol
