They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

[Hornsby 2,860]

This statement better be a work of art with how much fuss has gone into the details... lol

It was probably drafted by quinn. Mike saves us from the depths, but he has decided to move own. We owe him a debt of gratitude blah blah blah.

.....something tells me a formal statement telling us that Woodson wants to stay for a very long 8 more games, including just 1 in the BTT.

I spent a summer working at a music store in Bloomington. We sold pipes and stuff (this was before vaping). People would come in and say something like, "I'll take that bong." I'd respond with, "This water pipe? No problem, that'll be $xxx." Some were too stupid to get it and would argue that it's a bong so I'd have to make them leave.

The place across from the Sample Gates off Kirkwood, up the stairs? Lol. Witnessed that exact interaction there many moons ago.

Advanced copy of the statement: We have seen media reports about the status of Mike Woodson. Mike Woodson is our basketball coach and will continue to be as he tries to make it over a very steep hump. It’s almost a hill, really. With only 3 McDonald AAs, he has IU with a winning record and primed to make some sort of post season appearance. The King is the coach. The haters are going to need to find another foil.

We do have one announcement from IU.

We are, in fact, playing Michigan tomorrow ...

If only we could have raised a few more million for 2 more McDonald's AAs, then he really could've achieved something, but he did as much as he could with what he had...LOL

Pat Forde says statement from IU coming within the hour.

I'll believe it when I see it. 

This while thing has been a giant clusterf**k... starting 4 years ago when he was announced as the coach. Then three years of barely getting by... but getting blown out more often that he should have... to be "retained" last year for the massive crapfest that he's given us so far...

His attitude has been abrasive, full of hubris. His coaching has ranged from uninspired to abysmal. He doesn't bother reading the room because he sees himself as the smartest person in it. He's been protected for 4 years by Buckner and Ferguson. He's been supported by an twitter army of bots.

Now he's done - leaving one way or another. Probably. Maybe. 

He was certainly not worth the investment, but he managed to pocket some $20M for showing us who he truly is - an entitled, abrasive nepo baby... 

Just. Go. Away.

Any feeling from our esteemed plugged in folks if this statement is an effective immediately or an end of season type of statement?

Yup. Which is crazy bc he had every opportunity to be successful here and he just mismanaged everything and got in his own way.   Absolute waste of 4 years.

Removed from statement: it's even tougher to get over the hump when you're a really lousy coach.

And Woodson, they both have had 4 years :)

Unless Mike gets removed before the Michigan game ... but wait, you said that's not happening right?

If he stayed in the NBA as an assistant he was making maybe $1M/yr.  Instead he got $3-4M/yr, an extra $16-18M vs his dead NBA career.  This has always been the driving force behind his friends getting him to IU — getting him on the gravy train. 
 

It’s some of the worst behavior I can imagine from a Chairman of the Board and a big donor.

Including Crean's last year, we've had 9 pretty bad years of basketball in a row now.

It's really bad when you start thinking about it...
