But seeing what I've seen from Woodson I would not believe most anything he says. To me it seems he would throw anyone under the bus to protect his precious ego. Sent from my SM-A146U using Tapatalk You wouldn't want any of the "newer" players, say old man Zeller or Yogi, if they decided to get into coaching?

Woodson didn't even know Fife was a former player. Probably because he was looking for Dan Fife on the old rosters. :) Chris007 and theriverpilot 1 1

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. Some of the attributes that made him such a dogged,hardnosed defensive player in college don't translate to not being an arrogant person that's easy to get along with in his post-playing career.
Hornsby Posted January 30, 2025 Posted January 30, 2025 You wouldn't want any of the "newer" players, say old man Zeller or Yogi, if they decided to get into coaching? No not after Woodson. Maybe in development but not as assistants. We tried the former player and it was a fiasco Sent from my SM-A146U using Tapatalk

Just my guess. He doesn't want to be around people that he thinks is smarter/better coach than him. lol Based upon what I have seen, almost anyone is a smarter/better coach than Moron Mike! tkbbn and Artie86 1 1
Scotty R Posted January 30, 2025 Posted January 30, 2025 Whoever the new coach is has to be better at PR and Indiana has to make their coaches more accessible to the local media in Indy. So far this college basketball season I have heard interviews with a lot of different coaches but none from IU. Off the top of my head these are the coaches I have heard. Painter PU Lewis BSU Matta Butler Underwood UI Ben Johnson Minnesota May UM Izzo MSU

That is actually the biggest problem with Woodson’s system, or lack there of! You can’t have your system hiring/recruiting, or whatever you want to call what does, the best/highest rated players available. Players have to fit their role and whatever system and identity you run/play with Silat Player 1
