So is there a press conference set for today or did I read something wrong 

Someone jokingly said it was set for 10 minutes after the trade deadline.

IMO, if the announcement is only about Woodson retiring, it would come through a department release and not a press conference.

Trilly chimed in this morning and said that he isn't hearing anything about IU other than Beard wants the job. His agent is pushing that big time. He said that is unusual because if IU was talking with or vetting college coaches there would be rumblings. He hasn't heard much other than IU having interest in Dusty. If IU is talking to an NBA guy it would make sense as to why he's not hearing anything. He also confirmed what I said which is that Scott and Brad's relationship makes this a different situation.

Did Trilly comment that if it was an NBA guy he wouldn’t hear about it, or was that what you took from his message? Is Trilly entertaining the thought of Brad? I feel like that could be very telling if he’s at least talking about it as such a plugged in person.

Can we all just get serious?  This is important information and jokes only adds to the rumors.  By the way, I heard Woodson was shaving his goatee at 3:10!  ;)

So how is anyone gonna get any work done ,with the rumors spreading fast today ?

If we get an announcement on literal NBA trade deadline day of retirement, I’m going to assume the other thing is happening lol

it would appear Dolson and administration really don’t want to see Saturday devolve into a toxic mess, which I am happy for. I know it’s a relatively unpopular opinion but curbing boos and we want Dusty nonsense as much as possible is the right thing to do for IU Basketball and the players. Let Woody have leave with his head up and put this sorry chapter to bed.

If it's going to happen, IMO it's announced today.  The team clearly has to suspect something's in the works but not sure waiting does anyone any good.  Let them absorb the news and give the designated interim a chance for some last minute game planning and tweaks to our usual offense and defense.

My first thought was that the timing of any announcement has to be done with consideration for letting the team know and allowing them to process it... but then again, how bad can it be? These guys can't be that dumb that they don't know what's coming... then again, Woodson seems oblivious, so???

We're already on a 4-game losing streak and lost 6 of the last 7... just rip the band-aid off, Scott... Rip. It. Off.

If Woodson’s retirement is announced today or tomorrow, I think everybody would be rooting for IU to beat Michigan — no need to root for a loss to get Woodson gone.

If it's announced that he's gone, hell, I'll start watching again and maybe even caring a bit.... I've always said once IU shows they care about the basketball program, I'll care about it again.

I'm just assuming he won't be on the sideline on Saturday, but yes, letting him hang on for the remainder of the season is possible.

Can you spell T-O-X-I-C?

[SlammySammy 475]

I think with NIL and the onset of the "player for hire"....we need this ahole to come in on first day of the new Coach to address the players...

He said he wouldn't hear much about it if it was an NBA guy. That's what he was saying.

Out of curiosity………Is there a limit as to how many times I can refresh a thread? If there is a limit I hope it’s in the 1,000,000 range. Going to be a long day.

I am thinking the fans will show some love for Dusty....some because he is wanted as our next coach, some just because he was a part of the program....either way, gotta rub the Wood the wrong way....lets hope he at LEAST shakes hands with Dusty

bwahahaha... he said "rub the wood". bwahaha

Agree.  Im positive the players hear all the noise too.   So - if he were to announce, the troops may actually rally a bit.

I've already got my work done (got up early), got a roll of the eyes from the wife and a line of "you never get up early for anything except for going golfing or potential news of your potato head coach retiring".
I would say I have had a full day already.

I would assume the players would get a heads up before an announcement is made. Suppose that could be wrong but they are not oblivious to everything going on either.
