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

It is. My closest friend was a player on their first team that put them on the map (1999). He is still close to the program, and there was a lot of concern that they couldn’t hang in the new NIL space. I think they had well under a million dollars for their entire roster this year. Not a good time to be a small religious school in the middle of nowhere Spokane.

Few would be a home run.

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

Few and far between.  Sorry had to. I will take myself out now.

I don't like the phrase "contemplating retirement". I'm still somewhat concerned.  The pessimist in me is afraid that this is being floated in an effort to lower the hostility level of the fans that attend the game Saturday and going forward.  I'm scared Woodson has no intention of stepping down.  I think Woodson thinks he can save his job with a hot streak at the end of the year.  

The optimist in me is hoping for a press conference tomorrow.  That the delay is so Woodson's wife and daughters could be flown in to be by his side.  At this press conference, Woodson announces he is retiring at the end of the year which frees up IU to openly pursue candidates that may have been uncomfortable talking about a job that wasn't officially open.

Assembly Hall is going to be ugly, and everyone involved is going to deserve it for this farce. I don’t like the Dusty chants, but I’ve reached apathy on that. It’s gonna rain Dusty chants, and so f****** be it. 

Saturday's headline. " A defiant king refuses to back down as a chorus of boos overtake assembly hall"

You said numbers were discussed.  

Does anyone remember when I asked if 10 million would make someone the highest paid coach in CBB.

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!

These are the kind of posts that KILL ME, and are going to get me to check IU message boards every 5 minutes for the next 2+ months.  THANKS A LOT!!!  : )

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

Obviously. 
 

But had Woodson been “fired” as in terminated, he would be cleaning out his office as we speak. IU will not and has never done that in the middle of the season.

[mbredenk101 589]

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

Not that it matters or is even worth the back and forth but when someone is being fired from their job, which is the term everyone on here has been using, they are being "let go" or "relieved of their duties". Regardless of how that is accomplished, if is coming from pressure or forcing from the employers side, and is not solely the employee's decision, then they are being fired.

JFC. Mike Woodson still has his job. If he was fired, he’d be out today. Good lord.

Wow....

[Hornsby 2,826]

I wouldn’t be surprised if they (QB/Woody) really don’t understand what the game could be like, and the vitriol that’s going to happen. So it’s possible? lol this would be serious 4D chess by Dolson if that was the case. 

Woodson is delusional. He probably still thinks he is beloved. He will He in for an ugly Saturday

I wonder if he is thinking he cant win a Natty at Gonzaga in the super conference and NIL world? That would be a ridiculous pull of a hire if it wasn’t BS.

Yes, I notice Few was capitalized there…

Yeah let’s do 10 pages on semantics sounds like a friggin’ smashing good time!

Oh good, another pissing match between AH and other members.  Just what I wanted.

Not bad to have for a backup option.
