On fife? That was all 100% leaked by the king. Some of it may be true but it was bush league low-level stuff from the arrogant king.

I trust your interactions and opinion with Fife.. It 'was probably rehashed in the past, but what was the truth on why it didn't work with Woodson?

I'd say they just didn't mix well together. Both are unique in different ways and think a lot of themselves. I'll just leave it at that.

Assembly Hall just isn't large enough to hold both of those inflated egos at the same time.

Neither likes to admit they make mistakes

Two inflated egos that also aren't very good at coaching lol.  What a combo.

He sure as heck couldn't coach in the NBA lol

I didn't read the Rabby hit piece, but I caught some of the fallout. I did read the Mike Decourcy fluff piece, and understand the intention behind it. 

Bottom line is Fife wants to coach. He didn't stop on his own accord. He has plenty of contacts in college basketball that know him well. If his personality wasn't an issue and if his basketball acumen was really valued (enough that other coaches could look past his personality) he'd be coaching.

Just because Woody has not been an effective head coach does not mean that Dane Fife is part of the solution for IU or anywhere else. I am not personally familiar with the dynamics, but the fact that no other program has brought Fife on board, while not dispositive, is very telling.

fair but if his family wants to stay around bloomington, can't fault him for saying lets stay either

Brad's family might want to stay in Boston but when the right offer comes you move to Bloomington

[Hovadipo 61,432]

Dane Fife's hypothetical IU coaching record is only rivaled by the record of SEC football teams in hypothetical games against Indiana football.

How do you figure fife has never told his side of the story. I know you hate him but there are two sides to every story.

This was what I was thinking. A long time Izzo underling and supposed HC in waiting (although I’m not sure I believe that) hasn’t been hired? On the surface it looks like he either doesn’t wanna coach, or no one wants him. I’m sure it’s possible he doesn’t wanna leave Bloomington for his family or maybe even hoping for a job on the next staff, but it seems odd for a guy who people repeatedly say “wants to coach” selling insurance or whatever lol

And you know I can't stand Woodson. He's told his side of the story to anyone who would listen. He has been on Indy radio multiple times in the last 3 years. He's done interviews with Mike Decouracy. 

And as I said earlier neither one of them can admit they made a mistake. Just because you don't like Woodson doesn't make Fife right

Woodson felt threatened by him. 

....thought that as well. I will go along and add that he most likely had the same feelings about Matta. Just my guess.

He doesn't want to be around people that he thinks is smarter/better coach than him. lol

Izzo was tired of his antics too. That is why when Izzo has had openings he hasn't considered bringing him back.

If the new coach would want Fife on staff I'm fine with that, I think he can coach defense. I wouldn't want him around but that's just because I don't care for him as a person. I have never interacted with him where I didn't walk away thinking Man that guy thinks a lot of himself. I thought it was just how he was in college, but he was the same when he came back to Bloomington. Might just be me. 

I am looking for a coach, not a friend.  :) 

But I am neutral on Fife.   I just want dudes who can coach.
