They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

Recommended Posts

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!

You emailed the AD on multiple occasions demanding he fire Woodson and came to multiple boards to tell everyone (brag?) about it.

Out of everyone here, you were probably among the worst of the worst.  People are upset he did a bad job, blamed the fans for noticing, and then parroted all of those people's complaints about him after his rich friends bailed him out.  "You guys don't know basketball.  Mike Woodson knows basketball.  Mike Woodson thinks we need more guards because guard play is what rules college basketball."  Well thanks for noticing you basketball savant.  I mean Cal40Cheaney and IUbball4eva have only been screaming that on Twitter for 3 years but man have you earned that check Woody.

He better win games.  That is all that saves him right now.  He has a group that can't stand him and he has people (like you) that will defend him when things aren't flying but will be on the horn to the AD the minute he starts to underperform.  And he has pissed off enough media types that they will be more than happy to back the bus over him after the fans have thrown him under it if he doesn't win.  And that is all on him.

Dude even posted the emails he sent. Yet now he gets on here to lecture us every few days for wanting Woodson fired.

I guess reading is a problem for you because I said I did a lot of stupid things during the season. My problem I wrote those and hit send right after the game. If I could just have waited and calmed down I wouldn't have ever sent those emails. It was stupid and worthless to do so.

No reading isn't a problem for me.  I read fine.  You can't write those emails you did up above and then come back and tell people they are being irrational.  Your emotions are swinging back and forth based on your perception of things in the moment.  Which is fine, fanatic and all of that, but the whole argument you are putting forth is REALLY hard to take seriously with what Hoosierfan2017 shared above.

Finally, you are coming to the one thread that clearly indicates that you aren't going to find a bunch of Woodson fans and are picking a fight because they haven't let an April and May buying spree change their opinion based on 3 years of results.  Could he possibly win some people back by winning games, absolutely.  Has he made that harder to do with his prickly attitude?  I think so.  Would one be within reason to say he is likely to underperform expectations?  I don't think so.  

We will find out, in the meantime, there are tons of other threads where people are doing the normal summer thing around here and convincing themselves we have an All Star team.  You will find the positivity you seek there.

I just saw that this "All Star" team isn't thought that highly of by the computers. Torvik has them at #31 after they dropped a few days ago from 23. For reference, the summer before TJD's senior season Torvik had them at 11 or 12. Last year's team was ranked about the same as this one. With Woodson as the coach, that doesn't fill me with confidence.

Yeah, the joke on Twitter was Torvik factored in some coaching component to the algorithm.

Laughing aside, I don’t know what the tweak was but having a top 5$ team on paper and a top 31 team on metrics isn’t exactly the sauce we all want it to be.

I personally like the roster. I think I need to see Carlyle,Rice in candy stripes to see if they live up. I think I need to see if Mgbako improves his perimeter D. Gallo’s shooting. Big depth? Woody’s ability to coach against the better coaches in college basketball. So far he’s made a lot of hard-working, unheralded coaches look really good.

Anyone know what the tweak was that crushed our metrics?

I don't know how often they're updated but I'm guessing additions to other teams since the last update. 

I'm sure the fans of schools like Rutgers, Penn State, and Northwestern are glad we kept him.

All kidding aside, I do think this roster is constructed better than last years roster,  especially at the guard position.  I think we just need to see Rice and Carlyle play and how the entire team fits together but the key is going to be coaching and chemistry

Torvik's model is not only based on returning production but also heavily weighs efficiency. Let's be honest, Rice, Carlyle, and Mgbako weren't the most efficient players last year, most freshman aren't.

I definitely think their ceiling is tremendously high!

I think that’s the original model. They updated it moving Indiana from 23-31. It has always been efficiency and returning production. That wasn’t the change. What it was will likely remain a mystery.

Either way, it is what it is, and we hope the staff talent evaluation is more on point than last year because they certainly fumbled the ball hard in that category last season.

As far as efficiency. And Freshman jump expectations are VERY likely factored into the math.

His model doesn't change, it certainly doesn't factor in a "coaching" aspect. It's likely the product of rosters finalizing ie players withdrawing from the draft, late portal additions, etc
