They were arguing over whether to foul or not. Ya knew we had a foul to give and wanted to use it. Woodson was saying there was too much time left to foul. We didn't use it and they made the 3. Rosemond was not happy about it. 

I've done that one time on a bench. I didn't argue with the HC during the game but definitely yelled some nonsense in frustration lol

I will just say that emotions were high in the locker room after the game from players and coaches. 

I will Jerry share what he knows.

3. I was told that is who it would be a couple of weeks ago. @ap2345 was the first to have this info. Most thought it would be Ya

I even thought it was going to be Ya initially

That’s actually a bad look on Ya’s part imo. That’s the HC’s call. Woodys reasoning is defensible, even though it didn’t work out. 
 

In my experience, you can bring it up again over drinks later that night if you have that kind of relationship. But showing the boss/HC up in public like that is not kosher and shouldn’t be tolerated.

Anyone that has ever been an assistant coach and had a pulse has had these moments.  It is part of the deal.  But most of us are not in this position where every single thing we do is being watched super closely by a fan base hoping for change.

It's a circus and has been behind the scenes since year 1. It is what it is at this point.

I only think Dolson and Woodson know the answer to that, maybe some attorney's or agents

That's about it. Anyone else is guessing.

Sending Mike into retirement would ATLEAST give this team a shot to do something this next stretch of games. They have no chance with him in charge. Release the chains.

Yea.  If Kenya is the coach do we beat Maryland?  Probably.

Just like we have plenty of games left to get over the “hump”

I don't ever remember an interim coach being brought in from the outside after the HC being fired mid season. I just don't see that happening and it isn't like you can come in and I still a new offense or defense this late into the season. If they do eventually fire Woodson mid season the interim will be one of the current assistant coaches.

This is correct. You are bringing someone in totally from the outside. Not gonna happen

I agree with the first sentence. I think people like Hulls and Cheaney will always have a job if they want one on the staff or in the athletic department. I feel Hulls is ready to move up to be an assistant. I think Garl is about ready to retire, he's been here forever and now his name is named in the lawsuits.

ON the second part I don't necessarily agree he makes it through the season. 

I hope you are right that he does not make it through the rest of the season. It would be nice to official close this era and start the process of rebuilding. I guess I don’t see us moving on from him. He should have been fired at the end of the last season but we brought him back. This season is another wasted year and this team isn’t going on a miracle run. He’s been protected by the administration his entire tenure. I guess I don’t see the purpose of moving on now when we have already wasted over 3+ years with him as HC. Like I said, I hope you are right that he is gone before the season is over

I think you’re probably right if for no other reason than Rice would have been told he has to break the press and/or only Goode or Mack are to come back to the ball—  Gallo getting a touch was baffling. Classic example of putting Gallo (a bad free throw shooter lately) in a position to fail. 

It is also hard to overstate how bad that timeout and inbound was. I rewatched the end and we broke huddle and clearly six guys thought they were going in. Then the PnR is done incorrectly by both Rice and Malik, trapping Rice in the corner for a contested shot. This is stuff that gets fixed/installed in August. Ours guys don’t get coached. 
 

Long winded way of saying, yea probably anyone else in charge and that’s a win lol

I agree, if Dolson fires Woodson today and places an interim coach in his place tomorrow, it would be clear to the interim that he is there to finish the season and nothing more.  That is why I think Crean is the perfect guy. He wants to get back into coaching and this would be a great audition for him for other schools.  He can take a good roster that was poorly coached and try to get them to win and make the tournament.  To me, it is a win-win for both sides.  Fife would be the other guy.  Wouldn’t that be a kick in the nads to Woodson, hiring a guy to replace him that he fired and Fife wins with this team, lol

Serious question - Have teams ever brought someone in from the outside to be interim coach for a mid-season firing? If so, I've missed it. I always seen them give the position to an assistant coach. 

Don't Kenya Hunter and Yasir Rosemond both have the title of Associate Head Coach? I would think one of those two would be the default choice for interim HC.

The idea of bringing someone in during a season is just nuts. That would hinder any search and doubtful a coach would want to come in and fix a team without having any time to implement their own structure or coaching staff. 
 

An assistant will run it out and a true search will occur on March if not sooner.
