Only if we lose to Illinois again in an embarrassing fashion, and only if Brad Stevens’ wife approves. She loves Boston, you know.

Lou Watson quit at the end of the season, while Knight wasn’t fired during the season, nor was Davis, nor Dakich, nor Crean, nor Miller. Sampson was. In football, Pont, Corso, Cameron, DiNardo, Lynch, Wilson and Allen were all at the end of the season. Wyche left for the Bengals, Mal was let go the week before the season ended.

Every situation is different, but absent a Kenny Payne style meltdown or a complete player revolt some sane minds have been consistently saying that March will be the end (other sane minds have disagreed). I suppose consecutive 25+ point losses could still prompt that implosive change and given the road ahead that’s possible but not likely.

After the Iowa and Illinois games a complete meltdown looked imminently possible but we followed that debacle with a road win and two straight competitive losses. So for now, on we go to the end of the season before Woody’s departure is official.

Trying to skim through everything I have missed quickly, but are you trying to say that no decision has been made, and that Dolson won't even start evaluation of whether to fire or retain Woodson for 6 weeks? Want to make sure I am comprehending that correctly before I judge.

And yet, you do not know 100% that he has a drinking problem.  When was the last time he got an under the influence violation?

So you only have a drinking problem if you get caught driving under the influence LOL!

@ap2345 We need to take our info to DM's since we give so many people bad info. We might as well include @JerryYeagley23too. Then people like Scotty and AH 1925, and Cathy don't have to read it.

As long as you bring me with you to this DM party!!

That might be but I remember a lot of games where it wasn't a formal line where you went down the line shaking everyone's hand.

Ok lol

I didn’t see that.  I watched the game but don’t remember because that last play was so chaotic.  

I didn't really see it live either.  But the pic makes it very clear.  Malik is clearly setting a screen.  Maybe it was in the game post, I can't rally remember at my age.  :)

No need for this. You guys are respected on here. Besides I believe there is a hell of a good chance woodson is gone before the end of this season and when that happens kathy is a c will look like a clown

Your multiple sarcastic replies today show you're having an visceral response to posters. Maybe you should focus on your posting process to remove the emotions from your replies.

True. But while “competitive losses” are a shitty standard, that’s the standard for avoiding mid-season replacement, with all the bad PR and hyper-drama that would accompany it.

Most coaches talked a mid court before tip off but didn't shake hands after the game. Believe what you want but I witnessed those games.

Yeah if the play was to throw it in the corner outside the 3 point line down 1 point with less the 4 seconds left with your best offensive rebounder on the bench just taken out in a mass confusion sub situation also taking out your mascot(Leal) then sending Malik to screen over in the corner with his defender to put the max amount of people in a small space then of course Woody knows what he is doing. 
 

I did the run on sentence kinda on purpose to show what a cluster F it was.

I am not saying it was a good play call.  Not an endorsement by any means.  But fact is Malik was setting a screen.

And they should have been fired even sooner. Davis and Miller for sure stayed too long. Crean maybe deserved his last year but it was obvious where the program was going. And now we have Woodson. Her narrative may be silly. But until Woodson is fired before the end of the season, she’s correct. Even if it’s trolling. 

That’s not a sign of a process—just incompetence. 

[Hornsby 3,870]

We’ve been completely unserious from the moment Mike Woodson was hired to coach basketball. Nothing about the “process” has anything to do with winning basketball games. It’s about appeasing two program legends. Full stop. No one is saying he has to be fired right now, simply make the retirement announcement and let him finish the year. He probably gets cheered on senior night. Instead, we are supposed to believe this administration is fine with the optics of angry or empty Assembly Hall for the rest of the season? Don’t hire unqualified program legends in the first place. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. 

Likely because he refuses to retire. He is going to make dolson fire him imo.

Ok, I think I have it figured out.  The Scott Dolson Grand Slam Brass Bowling Balls move:  Woody is let go and he hires Brad Stevens as the interim.  Happens next week after the NBA trade deadline.  :)

I 100% hear the sarcasm here, but wouldn't it be funny if this actually happened.  I know it won't but still....  LOL

Yep, I follow what you meant and agree.  It just read funny.
