Free golf for life and a bottle named after him from Oliver

Also, MWAH naming and the St Edward’s crown for Woody to wear at all games.

“Mike Woodson’s not going out sad like that in Assembly Hall. I’m not resigning without getting the send off I deserve from these fans.” 

Whats the hold up? *Well… Dolson and the entire athletic department have to figure out how to get fans to clap for this guy. Easier said than done. I fully expect any retirement announcement to weave in a glowing tribute to Woody and what he means for the program. Capped off with a big Mike Woodson appreciation night to send him off (whenever that may be)… we’ll get a whole highlight reel video in the stadium pre-game, talking points for all the commentators, and some highly orchestrated moments to shower Woody in applause and loving chants. IMO, only then will we be free to start picking up the pieces… lol 

* = this is strictly my own commentary, no factual basis

I really don't think he wants that. And I doubt that he really knows what he's asking for. He may well get the send off that he deserves, but it will not be the send off that he's expecting.

If they do the video of Woodson's "talking point", what's the over/under on "the hump"?

Can we name the toilets after him: "The King Michael Dean Woodson Throne Room"???

I can’t imagine they are gonna let Woodson speak at Senior night.  That would be a disaster

I echo what many of you said. If they were to make a change, today or tomorrow is the time to do it. Midway through B1G play and they are off unitl Friday. 
It's sad. I never missed a game under Crean or Archie. This season I am just burnt out from IUBB with Woodson. I literally turned the game on right with Maryland hit the go-ahead 3. What an awful sequence of events. 
How much longer do IU fans have to put up with this? 

Not sure. I guess until Simon Scott quits funding the Woodson fiasco.

Well it may be but Woodson and certain people created this. He could of left after two years if he was the bridge he claimed he was. But these guys are arrogant and I'm convinced they simply don't want to admit they made a mistake. It's why hiring a former player is always a very risky venture. Especially when they never coached college. It is what it is now.

Agree... it's like dating a co-worker... either you get married and fight as husband and wife or it gets really, really ugly in the office.

I think his ego needs the boost of being cheered one last time so he can continue believing he is great and leaving because he wants to / can tell himself IU will be sorry when he is gone. And I think there are enough casual / “normie” fans who would happily go along with clapping and cheering when they’re told to lol. *insert Jeb Bush “please clap” gif*

There is a plan in place but as my wife always tells me plans change. I think there are some things behind the scenes going on. Woodson isn't going quietly into the night. Besides money there are a few things to negotiate I'm told. 

Also was told last week that Tucker and his dad are being a little difficult. They think he should be playing 40 minutes a game, plus already shopping him around to other schools for next year. So the staff is showing him

I told you, he’s going out kicking and screaming!  What a jerk!

Money can make a bad coach better.  It just can't make a bad coach good.  Can you imagine what Woodson's team would look like without the money?

You mean, like if Woodson actually had to recruit HS kids? Tom Crean season one would have a better roster.

I doubt he was ever going to quietly with the ego has. Let it get ugly. The king doesn't deserve a graceful exit at this point.

I love to see a video of him being escorted out by security!

One round of putt putt and a bottle of olive oil (not extra virgin).

No political gifs you knuckleheads. 

The mods don't care if you're comparing Woody to a Republican like Rutherford B. Hayes, or a Democrat like Martin Van Buren. We are under strict orders that those posts will be hidden, even though @Class of '66 Old Fart happened to have proudly voted for both Hayes and Van Buren.

maybe if Tucker would stop shooting 17 ft jumpers for a majority of his shots and always fading away maybe just maybe he'd be playing more.

My bad, it was just a dig at Florida using the CIA as an example.  

Didn't realize we were so pro CIA here /s.

WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?!

[dwtaylor1055 1,558]

and MM has also regressed.  Slow footed, iso ball, unwillingness to defend.  Some of the players are just flat out lazy

Hmm, a failed coach is going out kicking and screaming and IU should give a crap?  IU should say you have coached your last game. Do you want us to announce you have been fired or do you want to have a different story to tell the public? Why we would negotiate anything beyond what’s in the contract is silly if it means he remains coach. But, shitty decision makers are why we are in this mess, so throwing good money after bad is on par.

Absolutely agree...

Every time I read one of your posts, I see your signature and have to wonder... just exactly where is the Divine Ms C? About time for her to fly in with her admonishments to us all (unless a house fell on her).

He has done damage to the program. Just fire him.
