Fire Coach Woodson Thread

[Hornsby 1,637]

These were probably co-workers in NY trying to get rid of him. 

You knew Woodson was a horrible hire when people had to try to convince themselves it could work. People were literally gaslighting themselves into trying to believe his nba stuff could translate.

I had some great ideas. Usually not sober in a player's meeting but more around Friday night around 1AM

I would've told Scott to hire my favorite Pizza X driver.

"He just understands the world, man."

CMW is an x’s and o no’s coach. Maybe we could run BLOBs for every play.

Assistant coach: The bartender at Scotty's....she could do no wrong in my eyes.

Strength coach: the bouncer at The Vid.

We're starting to give Dusty's Louisville staff a run for its money.

I like it. Or inserting their NIL paycheck into the player introductions when the starting lineup is announced before every game.
"At guard, standing 6'5", from Bloomington Indiana earning $175,000, Anthony Leal!"

Maybe we ought to do that with posters here using I/Q.

I would suspect that the $6 million is purely from the NIL collective. Side deals would be over and above that.

Is something like this collective based/run? This seems more in the "spirit" of what NIL was supposed to entail, at least to me. Company makes licensed products, uses the players NIL to sell them, and kick back some profit.

Director of Locker Room vibes: Glenn Gass

Starting clearing some room up in those rafters for another banner.

Ugh, my biggest regret from IU was blowing off Glenn's class.

That was the initial plan. But then Texas A&M and other schools in the SEC and OSU started to splash the cash for the best players for pay for play. They do this bc the players talent brings them the value and they need the talent to be competitive. The NCAA tried to crack down and got sued and lost. And are now being sued again by Virginia and Tennessee so the NCAA isn’t investigating any NIL issues moving forward and stopped any investigations they had going. We are in the pay for play being legal for all schools and not just Duke. UNC, Kansas, Kentucky, etc. this actually benefits IU, since they have a strong NIL program for men’s basketball. They just need to get the coaching figured out. 
 

edit: Schools can now help steer athletes to NIL deals. It’s why you see schools hiring GM’s to help with that function.

When Glenn Gass turned the classroom lights out and played Brian Wilson singing "Caroline No" it may have been the single greatest classroom moment I had at IU.

There was nothing better than getting blazed and then going to Glenn Glass class.

Looks like this is what IU will be looking at as of now.

Cupps, Newton, Reneau, Mgbako, Galloway, Leal, and 6-7 transfers

That would be 100% best-case scenario.

Keeping four end-of-year starters and program continuity, and then adding talent to challenge/replace them?

Given the circumstances that would be impressive.

Yikes. So basically we need 5 new guys to fill a 8 man rotation. Not ideal.

That’s because Woodson on wants the highest rated players he can get and that he doesn’t recruit to fit his system he plays because he has no exact system he plays.  

He has a system, it's just an archaic one. He tries to force players into that system regardless of fit. That's the problem. You're right that he just wants the highest rated players and doesn't care about fit.

Sounding like he's getting ready to bounce too

This would mean that only Banks, Gunn, and Sparks are entering the portal.

That would be very good news and a potentially upgraded roster, IF we can find some way to replace our best player, Ware.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if Banks, Gunn, and Sparks is the only roster damage.
