First, you guys are hilarious. Reading the pages I missed on a long travel day is great. 

I guess I missed the chance to drop the bomb that coaches were informed yesterday that Woody is being retired. Better to come from established sources so those on this board who question inside info so diligently wouldn’t have to post responses. Should be an announcement officially tomorrow. Told it was supposed to happen today, but Woody is being difficult about ending the season - and some of that has to do with getting the most out of his contract. This all follows several weeks of work by Dolson, and his witnessing a fight in the locker room that had to be broken up, with an assistant coach yelling at Woody “this is why they’re firing you!”

Want to watch the women’s game now, so will save some additional nuggets for later. But Dolson is retaining a search firm just to check the box, but we’re getting our guy. Numbers have been discussed. I’d expect that to be announced after the season right before the tourney starts. I’ll add more later. Sorry my travel didn’t spring this last night before it hit the media but had some family things going on. 

Things are about to turn around for IU and our fans in a big big way. Alright, go Lady Hoosiers!

Wait…getting our guy as in Steven’s?!

You’re missing one, but you got one of our top four there. There were a Few people who reached out to us expressing interest that is an exceptional back up plan if needed unexpectedly. 

You said numbers were discussed.

I like a Few good people.

It does sound like we won’t be stuck with a Mike Woodson esque coach like last time if Brad falls through which is nice also

We all know who this probably was, but unless I have video evidence of it I’m saying it was Hulls.

How many years does Mike have on his contract? 

Yeah, the way this is going down really screams that Mike is the one calling shots and choosing to retire, lol. 

If I remember correctly, it was a 6 year contract... additional stuff was added, but no extension, as I recall.

Kelvin Sampson resigned in the middle of the season and had nothing to do with performance. Mike Davis wasn’t fired in the middle of the season.

Sampson wasn’t exactly ‘middle’’

Few.  Surprising.

Yea…wouldn’t have expected that since about a decade ago. Maybe nil is really bleak over there.

[Hovadipo 58,240]

Woody can contemplate a Few of DEEZ on his way to the links.

LOL.  Just admit you are wrong.  Kelvin Sampson was "resigned" he didn't "resign".  That is just a euphemism for quit with some benefits or get fired.  Which is exactly what is happening to Woodson.  IU is laying him off.

Besides that, you said "Never" and you didn't qualify your "never".  So again, "never".  Pssh.

It’s a bit messy at this point. Woody and his camp and his social media burners are just delusional. Hysterics today hinted at some racial stuff behind the scenes which I fully believe based on stuff I’ve seen from the burners. I hate the racial aspect, because I’m a merit based guy. Woody has failed in every metric. Then handled things horribly at senior night when HE put together the gosh awful season he did.

I wish he was gone now. Pick a responsible adult to lead these kids and let’s hope they can turn things around enough to sneak into the tournament still. Please…….

Woody is going full Nolan Richardson.  It did not end well for Richardson.

If Woody comes out with a one big starting lineup on Saturday and plays a matchup zone I am going to pull my hair out lmao.

I can think of a Few more too.

Resigning and Terminating (fired) from a contractual standpoint have vastly different meanings.

Yes from a contractual standpoint you are correct.  From a public perception we canned his a$$ and everyone  knows it.

How does your confidence level this time around for Brad compare to last time?

You missed the back and forth I had with that clown last week where I clarified all that. No IU coach has ever been removed from the sideline in the middle of the season due to poor performance. 

@str8ballerfell for that crap after the Illinois game 

[Scotty R 2,611]

I just think as fans we need to watch how we react to this situation the rest of the season. If it is announced he is not coming next season I think it would be best to stop booing and bashing the team

 Like it or not our fan base reputation is that we are lunatics and I somewhat agree with that assessment.  I am sure nobody will agree with this but future candidates will watch how Woodson is treated if he coaches out the season. I think it will effect the quality of candidates that will be interested in the job if we don't stop ripping him. I know the can response that we don't want a coach if they can't handle it but guys like May or Stevens could be those guys who might say no thank you.

You’re the most wrong poster in this thread. Go argue with someone else.

Well, to be fair, someone has to be.
