Let's fire everyone and start over.  Refs, coaches, administration, the guy who sings the national anthem, the ticket takers and parking lot police.  But for sure the guy that sings the national anthem.  Kids don't want to come here to play because of him I'm sure.  

I’m waiting for the fire Don Fischer thread

He's grading on a curve. Woodson says "A+", fans say "F-", average is "C".

That would at least make sense haha

Nooooo, I love listening to Don.  

[68Hoosier]

But really that old guy that sings, nobody likes that.

Like everyone else I grew up on Don's radio calls but haven't listened to him call a game in awhile. Does he still call the halfcourt line the "timeline"? love that guy

Welp....Dusty announce as UL coach tomorrow?

[Hoosierfan2017]

This is why I was against Dusty (more so against hiring mid-major coaches off one good year). Anything can happen in a single-elimination tournament. He had a great year last season but he’s still a big risk of a hire. We’ll see how he does at Louisville.

So would you take Chris Collins then?

So, let me hit you with this scenario. Not that this is the only possible scenario, but it a likely one and therefore the one I'm curious about:

1. IU has another year with Woody and it goes "okay."
   • Fifth in the B1G, a tournament 9 seed, and a first round loss.
2. High school recruiting is still completely in the dumpster. 
3. No dream list candidate is interested. As a point of comparison, let's use this year's version of guys that aren't leaving their current jobs: Stevens, Donovan, Wright, Drew, Pearl, Otzelberger, Oats, and Beard (a non-starter proposition). All are proven big winners with massive contracts, massive buyouts, and/or are happy with their current situation. And Collins doesn't really want to leave either, and if he did Boo Buie and Langborn ain't coming with.

Now, given that likely scenario (it's what UL and UM are looking at), what do you do?

1. Stay with Woody
2. Go get a successful mid-major coach.

I agree with that. But we need officials to start calling it differently 

Doesn’t the B10 hire these refs and dictates how they call the game?  Don’t most of these refs work in other conferences too?
