They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

The "I did my job" comment after a 19 win season irritates me just as much.

That's like me telling my parents I did my job with a C+ average on my report card.

This sort of gaslighting is so pathetic -- everyone can see the W/L record and missing the 68 team tournament by a country mile.

They probably picked IU because we threw the most money at them. In reality, outside of maybe a couple of players, I don't think many of these guys care about Indiana like we do...at least they don't play like it. I would love to be proved wrong about this...but laughing on the bench up 3 against Winthrop doesn't quell this thinking. One can only hope, they prove us wrong.

Money fore sure but also free rein. They don't care. Heck purdue still has mostly kids from Indiana. We have two.

I can guarantee you that it's not happening at Indiana under Mike Woodson. There's no "teaching" or "coaching" or "developing" going on here... just a bunch of overpaid wanna-bees doing their thing without guardrails, direction or consequences... and the Parasite Clown leading the parade down the street.

The fact he did not fire one assistant after last season proves he only wants yes men around him.

You mean he didn’t blend in with all the other 7 footers in Bloomington? Lol

Top tier choice of bars.  Was the only bar my wife and I ever went to together.  She hustled me in darts like the episode of Ted Lasso.  
 

Dude needs to make better decisions. If I’m an NBA GM I just took him off any board I have.

To be fair to Carlyle and the other players, there seems to be no rhyme or reason to Woodson's substitutions.  We have 8 players averaging over 19 minutes a game.  No one is averaging 30 minutes per game.  Woodson needs to figure out his 5 players that mesh the best and give them the bulk of the minutes. Rice and Ballo should be playing at least 32 minutes per game. We need to develop chemistry amongst a core group.  Trying to get 8 players significant minutes does not help with chemistry. 

This is pretty wild to be honest and I think highlights how Woodson runs this like an NBA team, not a college one. Are we positive his staff’s “recruiting pitch” is not simply “come to Indiana, showcase your game on a national stage and get a big payday.” … nothing at all about winning games, I suppose…

Off your board for being at a bar in college before an afternoon game the next day?  Lol

Probably the fact he’s shown to be more of a bar fly than a basketball player who is trying to get better and improving his game.

I usually don’t listen to those things, but that was brutal. That wasn’t part of our “toxic “ fan base. Those were outsiders, at least as far as I know. What a joke.

Least surprising New Years Eve revelation.

Woodson pronounces the S in Illinois. You’d think after all these years someone in his circle would kindly inform him of the fact it’s silent.

Dude is getting paid a fortune to be good at basketball and isn’t prioritizing it. The team has rules not to mention the lack of taking his rest seriously.

It was the previous trainer Anderson that was IU’s hype man.

Yep that's him. He was entertaining to watch the first couple of times. Then got old real fast.

Exactly, I think they are Michigan fans and have zero skin in the game when it comes to IU basketball but they are being brutally honest and I like it!  We are the laughing stock of CBB

What's even more comical is we could pay a coach half what we pay Woodson and spend half the nil and still probably have the same results

Lyonel Anderson was his name. I vaguely remember hearing crazy stories about him all the time...if my memory serves me right, one story was that while at IU he delivered his baby in the car in the parking lot of the hospital or somewhere near it.

Yeah pretty sure that happened. Guy was on tilt all the time.

I’m virtually certain PSU game will be a loss since I’ll be there lol. Rutgers I think we should win but can very easily see Harper and Bailey go off on us. Things are about to get interesting! I hope we avoid the worst case scenario 

I think if IU loses to Rutgers and Penn State this week IU will be 1-3 in Big Ten play I think Dolson pulls the plug and fires him. Granted IU should beat Rutgers but if they go 0-2 this week Woodson will be canned before USC in my opinion.

No shot.  The only way he gets fired mid-season, is because we lose 10 straight games as Torvik currently projects us to between Jan and Feb.  

I don't think we will, and Woodson makes it to the end of the year.
