They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

[Stuhoo 84,084]

Okay... I'll bite: How did XJ's supposed (not confirmed) identity for this burner account get revealed?

If it is XJ I have a few thoughts:

1. I thinks it's kinda excellent that a player that knows a coach better than fans is fully supportive of that coach during hard times.
2. This isn't exactly Cody Zeller or Victor Oladipo off-ramp defending Crean. XJ certainly had his issues at IU, both on and off the court.
3. I truly believe that XJ has real love for IU and grew up (some) as a person under IU, big ol' speed bumps and all.
4. I will always be grateful to XJ for being instrumental in Justice Ellison committing to IU.

What'd he say?

I might’ve jumped the gun but he dm’d someone and everyone assumed he outed himself. I’m not so sure now.

Appreciate the retraction if and as warranted.

I think part of the problem for him was a lack of speed bumps on Walnut.

Woodson is trending on X again. Bad sign for Mike, good for IU fans

That don’t surprise me.  He’s definitely a Woodson supporter and he still has to get paid by the university since he probably won’t be make a ton of money playing basketball because he sucks!  
 

Hey, maybe he can start racing cars for a living!

He probably hit himself in the nuts while he was letting everyone know who his real identity is.

Is there a poll function available on here? Would be interesting to gather data on what the masses believe should be Woodson's firing date

The Mackey point you made is notable.
Can you imagine 15,000 Purdump dingbats chanting in unison "Keep Mike Woodson!"
It will be awful yet awesome when (not if) that happens.

That's not fair, they didn't keep Ryan Walters like we wanted.

Good game of dominos and a fresh bottle of red just got popped. No time for recruiting

With this staffs inability to build a roster that actually fits together well and capable of winning, let him drink and smoke. Let the next coach do the recruiting. 

I do think there are some players that could be good under a different system and coach.  But I expect some roster turnover this offseason.

Relax. We haven’t even hit the All-star break yet!

Well trade deadline is coming up, and Woody expects to make some big moves.  He's got plenty of time to still cook LOL.

Is that his identity or name on X “ScottDolsonBurner”?  I don’t get on X so I don’t know how names are.

Name on X is ScottDolsonBurner. He is pro Woody and argues with everyone

Some of this may have already been posted so I apologize ahead of time if some of is repeated.

I got this from the ITH on 5 takeaways from last nights lose.

The 2 big lineup wasn’t going to work and Reneau should not of played that much.  Matter of fact, I think Reneau’s role should be just to come in to give Ballo a rest, at least until he gets close to 100%.  This was posted in one of the takeaways:

According to Synergy Sports, the numbers with both players on the floor were not encouraging. With Ballo and Reneau playing together, Indiana scored .53 points per possession. And defensively, the Hoosiers gave up 1.58 points per possession with the duo on the floor.

And this was posted in the last takeaway, which proves he has no clue what he is doing:

“What do you think is holding this team back, right now, from playing kinda cohesively for a full, you’ve talked about having stretches, but for a full 40 minutes?”   “I wish I knew. I’m still trying to figure it out,” Woodson said. “I know we got Malik back, and we knew we weren’t going to play him very many minutes tonight. But we had a hell of a defensive half, and then we come out and give up 54 points and we pile on the turnovers. I mean, it was just a bad combination. We just didn’t play well in the second half.”

Woodson was asked if he was concerned about IU’s lack of connectivity defensively at this stage of the season.  “No. I mean, you can never get worried,” Woodson said. “There’s too many games still left. We play a good game on the road and beat Ohio State, and then come here and got an opportunity to win a game and we let it get away the second half. You gotta give them credit. They played their butts off in the second half, and we didn’t.”

If I were Scott Dolson I would be ticked off if someone is using his name like that!

Ken Bikoff -

#IUBB has now given up at least 52 points in a half four times this year. Louisville (52), Gonzaga (57), Illinois (60), and Northwestern (54). IU has scored 50-plus points in a half just twice against Eastern Illinois (54) and Sam Houston (55).

Serious adjustments by the Coaching Staff at half (sarcasm). Let's be honest, Ya isn't cooking up adjustments at the half...ahhhh, thanks World Wide Wes. 

[Hornsby 2,895]

We could use this guy. Better investment.
