I don't get why a midseason firing means that they have their guy? 

If they didn’t have somebody lined up, why not wait till the end of the season so potential candidates wouldn’t be put through the wringer by the media wanting to know their interest in the job?

On the other hand, why wait to announce Woodsons retirement if you’ve got your guy in place?  This saves somebody like Dusty from having all kinds of scrutiny during the game on Saturday..

Let's remember, nothing official has come out yet. Woodson is, unfortunately, here until he for sure isn't.

I get the thought of Stevens is exciting, but I'll believe that when it's announced.

It’s crazy to think that tyme and sdb are not mouth pieces for woody and the staff. But, if they are, why didn’t IU nip that in the bud a long time ago? The coaches are following these guys in X and they claim to get info from them…

isn’t that a fireable offense?

Both Tyme and SDB are indicating that Woodson isn't being retained.  SDB just tweeted he could 'confirm it's over' while Tyme was saying Woodson would 'coach the remainder of the year'.  But both could be right....at the TIME they heard the news.

Personally, I can't imagine Woodson would continue to coach after he found out that they were going to get rid of him for sure.  There has obviously been something off mentally with him at his IU tenure where he thinks he's untouchable.

This person isn't currently coaching

I know of a guy that has NBA and NCAA head coaching experience. Former player. Now unemployed. Maybe we should look to hire Mike Woodson?

Chris007, I hold you personally responsible for lack of official confirmation right now. I just sent my boss your contact info as the reason for my lack of productivity today. You can expect a strongly worded email incoming.

We can’t let Woodson stick around if a retirement is announced. He’s going to “brag” about making Indiana relevant again. 

Just maybe Woody made Brad Stevens feel so sorry for us that had to take the job.  This will be Woody's legacy "he sucked so bad, Brad had to save us"

Found this on Bleacher Report. Similar to what others are saying,  no idea on the reliability of the source. It . 

That's actually very plausible. Massive male ego. Yesterday he bought into the retirement thing, to avoid being fired. He went home and his wife and other family members raised hell saying "they can't treat you like that". So he marched back in today to say I'm out.

I'll pass. At his last stop they couldn't wait to get rid of him, and sources tell me there was no accountability so players got away with a lot.
