everyone is entitled to their opinion but the continuous bashing and calling Fife a “POS” and “a Prick” etc…is complete BS and nauseating. It’s gone on for what? 3 years now. That dude bleeds Crimson ‘n Cream and also, barring something unforeseen, he’s not returning to coaching. He’s built himself a successful career outside of basketball. 

I wasn’t one to bash him, just sharing my $.02 here.

I don’t agree with calling him a POS by any means. What I will say is that my father was a coach at a school he worked at at the same time and he was not very well liked almost unanimously. He gave off a “I’m above you” vibe to almost everyone. In an odd way, similar to Woodson

He threatened to transfer if we didn't choose the coach he wanted, how cream n crimson is that?

Actually, the way NIL is supposed to work, they kind of do.  They can pick the dudes or dudetts they want to sponsor.  

Dolson doesn't have to allow a damn bit of that. lol ... we don't need their money.

Really? He’s not the first or last player to do that. Pre NIL, many of these players played for the head coaches more so than the school because these coaches served as another father figure. He played for Bob Knight. All the players on that team were united together in who they wanted as their next coach.

Having known him personally, I'm 100% entitled to that POS remark.

And they all looked like idiots for backing Davis. We should have hired Jay Wright then and told the players to piss off. 

But yes, really.

Ok…and maybe…just maybe there’s other on this board who know him or know others that know him personally  that have a different perspective of Dane

Lol. Ok. We would’ve never had that Final Four run. But yea, whatever, keep hating on a former player and a former coach that represented the university well given his circumstances.

Fantastic! To them, he may be the cat's meow, but to me, he's always the same POS I've known.

Did Dane Fife commit the dumbest foul in Indiana's history? 

[Home Jersey 16,066]

You know IUBB dialogue is in peak form when the merits of Dane Fife as a coach / individual are being debated lol. Lord I can’t wait for this program to actually give us something to root for. Anybody thinking there’s a chance he’s gone after Illinois game is sorely mistaken IMO, not even remotely on the table. It’s either as soon as BTT ends or, if he’s really had enough, toward the end of the regular season on a Friday afternoon at 5pm - fading away into the night like a silent fart.

No we might've just won multiple titles.

I’d 100/100 times trade for Jay Wright leading IUBB over the fluke F4 run with Davis. Who knows how many actual championships we may have won if he came here… wasn’t following closely at the time, but would be shocked if that was really a possibility

Yea…if we kept Bob Knight. It didn’t work out that way and the 02 Team backed Davis.  Get over it. That was 23 years ago and our best team in 3 decades.

There’s no point in firing him mid season. The season was a lost cause when they decided to bring him back. There’s no benefit to trying to salvage it now. Just let Woodson end the season with a whimper in a couple months and completely clean house.

Bob Knight made it so we couldn't keep Bob Knight. Let's not pretend otherwise.

Jay Wright was never a possibility. Hindsight is 20/20
