This is simple.  They are either make a change or they don’t.   If they do make a change awesome the program and fans can move forward with some hope that things can be turned around.   If they don’t make a change then you know the program that you knew doesn’t really care and lets you know it will be ok to cut bait until a change is made.   I personally don’t see anyway he is coaching after this year however if he is then my investment meter will be lower then it is this season and I will enjoy the rest of college basketball.   
King, Ferguson, Cooks, Quinn and Buckner 

that’s 5 shots 

No. Just no.

You don’t get to laundry-list the five names as a self-rigged method of allowing for Friday afternoon day drinking.

Yep he said IU has the right coach, just not the right players

With NIL it's very hard to win right away.

And he said at a job like IU you have to have someone who knows what it means to play at IU. Woody knows. Maybe he was pitching for May

So the "right" coach went out and bought the "wrong" players? Incompetence. Guilt by association. Facts are stubborn things!

I completely understand and agree with all of this, however, it sure as heck seems like they (former players and boosters) think it is going in the right direction. 

Deep down they likely don't but it's their boy. They will stick up for him til the bitter end no matter what. And ferguson will keep giving him money til the day he croaks. Ferguson and his unlimited funds are financing this fiasco.

He also said just remember he went to the Sweet 16 to only get beat by Miami who was good that year.

The problem is Isiah that wasn't the Sweet 16

Don't forget Isiah, he's on the local Indy radio show today describing why IU needs to keep Woodson. 

Thomas was a terrible coach and executive. So that just confirms Woodson ain't it.

All he did was throw massive amounts of money at guys ranked high in the portal.

Rice
Goode
Carlyle
Tucker

They are all terribly overpaid.

Alcohol poisoning would be better than watching IUBB.

While I understand the need to start with a clean slate, if that's so then that's too bad. I kinda like what I see from Walsh.

Man, Hornsby will give the whole board alcohol poisoning in less than an hour. I'm not going to play this game.

From my perspective of trying to follow our high school recruiting efforts Walsh was really active in IL, OH, KY and IN high schools and he shouldn't shoulder all of the blame for our failure to land any of these kids.  That's on Woody and his lazy recruiting approach.  Now having said that, I will add that I haven't been seeing hardly any life to high school recruiting since last fall from anyone on our staff.

It’s looking like this will be the old guards final stand.  Woody coaching is probably their last chance at controlling the program.    For years and years people have been saying IU needs to modernize certain aspects of the program but people with influence still think IU can get by in this day and age by being IU.  Look how hard it was for Archie to modernize the locker rooms.  You sucked at coaching but thanks for getting that ball rolling on that.  When and it is when not if they move on from Woody I would guess that the old guard will finally be driven out.   The ammo Dolson will have to show them ok we did it your way and here we are.   I’m guessing after the coaching change the IU program will change for the better

Glad I'm doing dry January...If I played this game, I'd at some point probably try pissing in the sink...

That's the Constanza rule.  His track record as an exec isn't very good.  :)

Coming from sports radio experience, the reality is he probably hasn’t watched a single game and only talked about Indiana basketball because the host brought it up lol
