In order to keep this guy, we have to keep Woodson.  That sounds like an ultimatum.  Thanks, but no thanks.  Doesn’t she realize we can replace him through the transfer portal?

wouldn’t a blowout win over Maryland be a perfect going away present?

 A blowout win BY Maryland would make a perfect going away present for the Wizard of Broad Ripple.

Yep, I respect what the Drake coach has done in D2 and winning right away but I watched them play today and was not impressed, not fun to watch at all.

if we don’t get our top 2 guys I agree with the two above

Feels like he rode fifth year guys Bacot and Love from the previous administration. Now that he’s working on his own the results are starting to show some cracks in his coaching abilities. The risks of hiring former players continues to rear its ugly head. 

 

Guy with last name Davis inherits roster from legendary coach and goes to Final Four in year 1. Sounds familiar.

Central Florida grad, minor in sports business management. This is a troll piece just for clicks and engagement. I bet she like everyone else would LOVE for us to keep Woodson. No way she's covered the sport for 4 years, with several articles about IU's struggles already this year, and is actually clueless about why we want him gone. Can you say obtuse?

I did a quick Google search... led me to her LinkedIn page where she's sporting the "#OpenToWork" banner on her profile photo.

No shock there

MW supporters seem to desperate and they are pulling out all the stops to try to right the ship and keep his job.  That’s what all I have seen over the last few days!

Facebook is pure comedy. His remaining crew is going with your a hater if you dont support him because it means you don't support the team. They are really outnumbered now though.

Yeah I was fully on board at the time, but I really don’t think he could’ve done worse than what we’ve gotten the last 8 years from Miller/Woodson. 

I remember being in campus and looking forward to Davis leaving. Now we have a coach that makes Mike Davis look good.

McCollum would be about 4th or 5th on my list, but you have to remember he's coaching D-2 transfers. If shortening the game works best for them, that's what they need to do. He may not play such a slow pace if he has better talent. I'm reminded of how Wisconsin was the slowest team in the Kenpom era under Bo Ryan, then when he had Final Four talent he turned them loose. 

That's a good point. I guess the question is what kind of tempo did his D2 teams play at? Has anyone on this site watched any of those games? Have you, @Uspshoosier?

Not enough.  I’ve watched some of the championship games they played.  This year is the first time watching his teams closely.  Definitely doesn’t push the pace however if it results in big time wins and deep March runs then people will tolerate the snail pace

With the internet and hundreds of college basketball "sites," pretty much anybody can write an article -- and they really don't have to know what they're talking about. 

I could almost guarantee you that just about everybody on BTB knows way more about IU basketball than Ericka Brockish.

"The recruits he is bringing in" --  you mean the TWO?

"If Indiana wants to keep this international star, then they probably have to keep Woodson, too." That's almost comical. We'd keep a coach because of one Bosnian recruit? That might be the rationale Quinn Buckner and Steve Ferguson would try to employ -- but very unlikely anybody else would.

He was terrific at Valpo and at GC as well.  But was absolutely terrible at Vandy who is now having a great season.  Not sure he’s cut out for a big boy job.

He looks like he knows what he is doing on the sidelines and Drake  played with purpose. Was fun to watch him live ran the show for sure.

Yes they are, even most of the media have turned on them!

[reconmkd]

Sitting here contemplating how much IU gear to put on today before I make the 1.5 hr drive. Think maybe just a hat and shirt? Want to support the team but so ready for a change.

People should take a look at the current vandy coach Mark Byington also. Just beat Kentucky and they play a fast 5 out modern offense. He was at James Madison the year before so maybe a Cig part 2.

One million percent yes.

Also, Jerrod Calhoun at Utah State and Micah.

Calhoun’s buyout is low; Vandy and ND are private schools so there isn’t public info on their contract terms.
