Do you know the man? Good lord; an @$$ of a person?

You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but I’ve gotten the impression that people that know Mike Woodson love and respect him as a person. And yet you don’t know him personally and somehow formed that conclusion. 

I formed that conclusion based off what he did during senior night!  Putting fans against fans and classify people like me as not being true fans really stuck into my crawl!  I’ve been an IU basketball fan long before he became a player but yet I’m not a true fan!  That crap is BS and he shouldn’t have never said it because he can’t take criticism.

You would still hate him if he won a championship. You probably were some of the idiots that said going to the 2002 championship was a bad thing. Most college coaches are a holes

And yet you calling me an idiot makes you the biggest idiot!  You don’t even know me nor do I care!  No, I wasn’t one of those people, going to the title game was awesome but making an interim coach that has never coached a D1 program as the head coach was the wrong decision and move.

Why would I say any of that? 

Bob Knight was fired when I was 9.

15 seconds that you didn’t appreciate led to judge the entirety of the guy?

Dang, that would be a helluva tough standard to meet with people that you encounter regularly. I would imagine that you regularly treat people with grace and kindness, even after they get under your skin for a minute. Maybe try that with Mike Woodson?

When I say a “Uniter” I mean someone that hasn’t already divided and seems to be happy to continue to divide.  Winning Consistently for sure is the biggest hurdle. Woody started as a “Uniter” “us against them” guy but this season he turned on a huge portion of the fanbase.  Instead of taking accountability and saying he didn’t live up to his own expectations and these are the things we are going to do to fix it. He went on a crusade against fans not happy with him not reaching the expectations he acknowledges. Just completely backwards strategy and could have been much easier if he could have swallowed some pride. 

Exactly!!!!  Instead of taking accountability for his bad roster construction and decisions, he desides to divide the fanbase of true fans vs non true fans based on his only definition which is non true fans criticized him and didn’t 100% support what he was doing and the coaching job he did last year!

People that I encounter on a daily basis don’t make millions of dollars and are in a very visible leadership role.  What he said and did on senior night was totally uncalled for, childish, and very unprofessional

The million dollar thing always makes me laugh. Still talking about SR day months later? Get over it.

True fans don't boo their team. Twist it any which way your little mind desires to make you feel better, but any reasonable person knew what CMW "true fans" comment was about. Go boo your boss in a staff meeting and see what happens.

This is a terrible analogy lmao. Mike Woodson is not our boss. A much better comparison would be to go boo your customers for complaining about a terrible product that you put out. And then hire a social media campaign to dump all over said customers. I’m sure that would go over well! 

[Home Jersey]

We have some people in this thread mad about booing last year. We have others mad about comments from Sr night months ago. 

Classic July for IUBB. November can't get here soon enough.

Lol. Burners have infiltrated with illogic reasoning.

I don’t love the Boo’ing personally. But it’s a professional sports thing. And Indiana Basketball is a professional sport. If the Coach, program, and players aren’t putting the energy, effort, and performance out that is necessary, you are probably gonna hear some boos.

I think maybe a true fan would voice some displeasure to the person next to themselves or under their breath say a few choice words, but to offer up a chorus of boos down to a team full of youngsters is pretty low brow IMO.  And I also don’t believe they need to grow a thicker skin. :)

We might need to check the vetting process for BTB soon. Maybe the burners are filtering into the message boards. I'm just kidding so relax everyone. I spoke to someone on staff today, trying to talk him into having the team at my son's dorm on move-in day to help with everything. :-) I thought it was the least he could do for having us sit through that painful season last year. It's been a good offseason so hopefully that continues

So any person who shows any kind of support for the coach is using a burner account and a s part of the program.

I didn't mind booing the coaches but not the players but now they are getting paid I have no problem with it. During an intense game fans will get frustrated in the moment and do some stupid things. Lord knows I did plenty of stupid stuff during the season.

What I find amusing is that after 4 months people are still upset about Woodson not being fired. I think to many people took the words of so called insiders as gospel and believed he was going to be fired. When it didn't happen people just have went over board with their hate for Woodson. I didn't take the true fan comment from Woodson personally because a lot of us deserved it.  It wasn't about fans being upset over our play but it was the people who was texting it emailing the administration. It was the podcasters who took things to far like the Hoosier Hysterics. If what I read about those two were true they were telling fans that stop donating money and stop going to the games.

I am pretty sure CSP just changed his user name to mess with people. I am pretty sure I know who it is and he is also in HSN with his old username

Liars? Burners? IMO, nah. 

We just have a huge, passionate fan base. Everyone has their own standards for what is good or acceptable to them and their own temperament in terms of how they respond/form their views over time. To each their own. 

A generally decent rule of thumb that I think applies here no matter where you fall on Woodson … never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

That is a useful rule of thumb for pretty much every aspect of life!
