Yes it is.  Guy moving into his office tomorrow morning.  

[TadQueasy]

Do we know has Woody cleaned out his office and got all the stink out of there yet?  

We don't want Coach DRock (love that name btw) to have any issues getting started

He didn't burn the bridge. Wise move even if he doesn't feel exactly what he said here.

That bridge was obliterated months ago.

His agent probably had a PR person write that for him.

Remind me when the season ended again?  Like 6 weeks ago?  This comes out after it's announced he has another job.   IMHO, truly a pathetic display.

Yea.  And I bet his separation agreement had a non-disparagement clause, so he couldn’t say bad things even if he wanted.  And he probably does, February and March were ugly.

But, this release is okay and the drama is over thankfully.

Personally, I wouldn’t accept another job after I take my planned retirement. :)

Let’s go Kings I guess. Maybe TJD or Ware or Xavier Johnson end up there too lol

If he's there long enough, he can draft Reneau and MTaco. Also trade for Hood Schfino.

Correct- tied to his payout. 

Nonetheless, I’m glad the non-disparagement clause is there, it’s a good look

Indiana Hoosiers

Grade: D

Mike Woodson understood the stakes as well as anyone when Indiana hired the former Hoosiers star in 2021. "The players are looking for me to get them where they need to go, and I'm looking for them to get Indiana basketball where it needs to go," he said at his opening news conference that year. Woodson ultimately failed to elevate the program to national contender status, however, leading to the February announcement he would step down at the end of the season -- one that started with Big Ten title and Final Four aspirations and ended without an NCAA tournament appearance.

“D” ?

Apparently they grade using a curve.

Missing the tourney with top-5 NIL and getting fired is failing, aka an “F” grade.
