Fire Coach Woodson Thread

Recommended Posts

When in the heck did this thread become a Spanish soap opera? Dude chill. 
I don't have problems with criticism of CMW in the context of basketball. He wasn't my first choice either. But the character assassination of him is juvenile. You'd think he'd choked someone from comments here.

If you have a chance, this morning’s Ft Wayne Journal Gazette has a well written article about Woodson and the historical perspective of other coaches who took their team to the tournament the first 2 years of their tenure and then backslid in the 3rd year. Some interesting names and a fair and objective analysis of the situation.

Won’t let me link the article but a search for Dylan Sinn might work

Woody inherited arguably the best player in college basketball his first 2 years. Woody is also 66 and everyone despises him.

Good response. Maybe read the article before jumping to conclusions as to why I posted this

I keep thinking about IU telling the NIT that we wouldn't be interested in an invite.  This is really concerning to me.  I heard Calipari on the radio today. He was asked about if the players were playing for their NIL.  He gave an answer, which could be coach speak, about his team enjoys playing with one another and they want to keep the season going as long as possible.  Evidently, that wasn't the case with IU's players or the coaching staff.  Under Knight, our goals were to win a Big Ten Title, and if invited win an NCAA title or NIT title.  Under Woodson and Dolson, our program is such a mess that we wanted the season to end.  The program is being mismanaged. 
And it appears unserious about ever going after good coaches. I am guessing at this point Woodson gets year 5. They clearly want him to stay. Boy I thought archie was the bottom but it appears not

Problem is this is more than a "backslide."  0 for 31.

Yep, that’s mentioned in the article. Like I said, the guy provides a fair take. Doesn’t sugarcoat but also doesn’t badmouth.

Worth the read if you can find it

It was behind a paywall but I tried. I am pretty objective and you can see that the program is on shaky grounds. The year 3 collapse would be more tolerable if we had some promising H.S. recruits coming in.  
 

The staff could build a team strong enough to get into the NCAAs next year if a lot of things go our way, but then what?  Woodys age and the lack of H.S. kids coming creates a lot of reasonable concerns for the short, medium and long term health of the program

They should be! I’d be surprised if they had the juice to get to the end of the line even if the $ is there, just clearly a much worse job than these by like two orders of magnitude
