First, you guys are hilarious. Reading the pages I missed on a long travel day is great.  I guess I missed the chance to drop the bomb that coaches were informed yesterday that Woody is being ret

First thing's first, congrats to the IU women on the 4-seed and hosting opportunity. Tough draw, but they call it madness for a reason. Secondly, love you guys and this community, but goodness you're

The “compromise” by Dolson to let this go down this way saved us some good cash on the buyout. Lot of litigation today. Make no mistake about it, this was not Woody’s decision to retire.

We had a lot of old rich men in the room and most were intimidated by a smart young woman. So they say she is challenging 

Ha, I’m not surprised to hear that.

That sort of meeting just needs two, three at most people from IU.  But of course we took our giant group of “stakeholders” there and botched it.  Classic.

FWIW I do know that Brad had a somewhat recent (last few months) conversation with a Celtics player in which he talked about wanting to coach at IU at some point 

I know we keep in touch with him.

I doubt he ever comes here.  And I don’t blame him, our bball program is a mess.

I want to believe you, but know IU basketball can't have nice things.

^^^ .... but wouldn't it be awesome to have Stevens in here saying (just like Cig) "We've go to change people's mindset about IU Basketball" :)

Part of the issue with our bad hires is that the administration won’t hire anyone with an ounce of baggage.  They also won’t ever hire anyone that could ever become bigger than the program ever again.  Stevens and May are really the only 2 that would satisfy both the fans and the administration.

The fans want Beard or Pearl of the realistic candidates right now.  I doubt either would ever get hired and if it’s someone else not named Stevens or May half the fan base will be rooting for them to fail from the hire and the will.  That’s why while I want Woodson fired as much as anyone I have zero faith that the next hire will be much better.  They won’t hire a killer.  They’ll hire another yes man and the fans will have the torches and pitch forks out before he has even coached a game.

Our luck, it'll be when he's 65 and coaches for 2 yrs just to be able to say he coached IU and accomplish checking off that final box.

To me taking advantage of the University, Nepotism, standing up a recruit on a visit, etc is a lot of baggage.  Yes it happened after he was hired but it’s also grounds to fire him and that doesn’t count his poor coaching.
