Well if it drops below .593, using your logic, that turd will have smelled better… right?

What are you arguing? 

Are you arguing that MD is considerably better than CMW? 

I was told MD was "the best" out of those 3 and it "wasn't even close".... and I find that to be a complete absurdity. Do you agree or disagree with that?

I'd rather go the old IUFB way and hire a MIC current HC before retaining Woody for another year

Maybe he was talking about his participation here?

I mean, if this crapshow gets rid of the Parasite in Chief, can't we call this season a "resounding success"?

Funny how all the Woodites were so eager to puff their chest about their predicted lack of accountability by those that wanted HIM gone, yet  they are the first to run and hide or deny seeing the predictable mess they fervently backed.

It's Ben McCollum for me, Dusty, Brad S, Tom Crean, followed by the entirety of eligible D1 coaches, then Woodson for another year. 

Put most of us on this thread before another year of Woodson. Most on this thread are very knowledgeable and would do a better job than him. I understand that's a low bar with his results and behavior but it's wild that it's true. It's also pretty sad. Most of the people in this thread would have IUBB in way better shape than what Woodson does. We would at least perform our coaching duties on and off the court and wouldn't be arrogant and disrespectful to the majority fanbase. It's sad that we understand what is required to be a successful coach and he is clueless.

Not really arguing the point per se, but don’t agree it’s a “complete absurdity” to say MD was the best of AM, MW, and MD. The winning percentage doesn’t tell the whole story. Then again, this entire conversation is like debating who is the tallest midget.

I don't understand how you could pick one of the three.

Woodson IS the worst coach in D1 and there's not even a debate. Only reason his record is that high is because of his weak scheduling decisions to prop himself up. His schedule both on court and in his lounge is full of cupcakes and wine(whining). Let's be real here please.

He is the worst coach in the big ten imo. He has the most resources and most highy ranked players and he still stinks.

Howard set a much higher bar at Michigan than Woodson has ever smelled at IU. A S16, E8 and a regular season B10 title. Woodson wishes he could do just one of those things.

QB would have seen to a lifetime contract for Woody if he had done any of that lol

Forgot about that. Luke Zeller, Oden, and Conley wouldn't even look at us because of MD. 

Kind of sounds like MW too.  Mullins and Harrelson this year and many more last year wouldn’t give MW the time of day or vise versa, because if you want to be recruited by Mike Woodson, you have to go to Mike Woodson, he won’t cone to you!  Lol

It's not going to change "that" much to back up, "Mike Davis was the best and it wasn't close". like cmon lol 

So that turd smelled better? No it didn't. 

Woodson didn't have the benefit of getting BK's players. 

Woodson had a major benefit of having a Miller All American his first two seasons that was more responsible for the Ws than Woody.

I think an extension is an order. With the short amount of years left on his contract, he doesn't have enough time to recruit HS talent. 

Extension should be an automatic word that is banned or blacklisted from this website. At least until Brad arrives next Spring..

It’s such a shame there can even be a debate over MD, Archie, and Woody.  What a trio of disasters.

Rating yourself fourth on your own list is truly selfless work. We never deserved you Tom.

Sure looks that way.

I think Mike was just as bad as the others. Just lived off BK's remnants. We were just as poorly coached from game to game and he didn't recruit Harangody, which is an all-time blunder. 

Woodson's winning percentage at Indiana is better than MD's so it would be kinda crazy to make that "isn't really close argument." .593 vs .623 confirms that. 

Yeah but you are leaving out the payroll that I mentioned.  I think Davis's recruiting would have been better with several million to throw around.  He was in on guys that we lost to the shoe schools back then.

One made the championship game and was close to winning it (regardless of where his players came from) and the other has his hand-picked team of highly ranked players and is floundering with them, and made it as far as the 2nd round (regardless of where his players came from). The last one didn't even play in the NCAAs.

MD is the tallest midget for me.

He's made zero effort to improve as well, he instead just shifts blame and makes excuses. Zero accountability or responsibility taken by him. That combined with the deeply talented roster that we have plus the maliciously ignorant waste of resources that IU has at its disposal would then force me to say he's the worst basketball coach out there. The team wins by their own talent because he does not coach. He is a glorified spectator with the best seat in the house. To have all that he does available to him and to do what he's doing to it, is willful incompetence and a clear sign of the administrative problems we're currently faced with. It's crystal clear why he was chosen for the position, made evident by his statements not only on senior night but in post game interviews in comparison to his choices and results. Piss poor planning provides piss poor performance. Stick that to his office door, his boys lounge door, and the administrations door.

But I don't believe that. He couldn't even identify a 3-time All-American and 2x Big East POY as someone we should recruit. Conley, Zeller, and Oden had zero interest in MD.

Davis' recruiting was a big problem and it certainly wouldn't have been helped by more money. He wasn't good at evaluating talent, instead he just went after the highest rated players he could find. He didn't care if they actually fit. Money may have helped him land some of his misses but it wouldn't have made him better at that. He also had problems putting together a well rounded roster with depth since he didn't take fit or roster building into account - just their ranking.

It's interesting how after 7+ seasons of Miller and Woodson, even Davis starts to look good to some people and a few wish for a return of Crean. No thanks.

Let's get back to firing Mike Woodson and not debating the crappy IU coaches of Christmas's past
