First, you guys are hilarious. Reading the pages I missed on a long travel day is great. 

I guess I missed the chance to drop the bomb that coaches were informed yesterday that Woody is being retired. Better to come from established sources so those on this board who question inside info so diligently wouldn’t have to post responses. Should be an announcement officially tomorrow. Told it was supposed to happen today, but Woody is being difficult about ending the season - and some of that has to do with getting the most out of his contract. This all follows several weeks of work by Dolson, and his witnessing a fight in the locker room that had to be broken up, with an assistant coach yelling at Woody “this is why they’re firing you!”

Want to watch the women’s game now, so will save some additional nuggets for later. But Dolson is retaining a search firm just to check the box, but we’re getting our guy. Numbers have been discussed. I’d expect that to be announced after the season right before the tourney starts. I’ll add more later. Sorry my travel didn’t spring this last night before it hit the media but had some family things going on. 

Things are about to turn around for IU and our fans in a big big way. Alright, go Lady Hoosiers!

These are the kind of posts that KILL ME, and are going to get me to check IU message boards every 5 minutes for the next 2+ months.  THANKS A LOT!!!  : )

Yes from a contractual standpoint you are correct.  From a public perception we canned his a$$ and everyone  knows it.

Obviously. 
 

But had Woodson been “fired” as in terminated, he would be cleaning out his office as we speak. IU will not and has never done that in the middle of the season.

Resigning and Terminating (fired) from a contractual standpoint have vastly different meanings.

Not that it matters or is even worth the back and forth but when someone is being fired from their job, which is the term everyone on here has been using, they are being "let go" or "relieved of their duties". Regardless of how that is accomplished, if is coming from pressure or forcing from the employers side, and is not solely the employee's decision, then they are being fired.

JFC. Mike Woodson still has his job. If he was fired, he’d be out today. Good lord.

Wow....

[Hornsby 3,870]

I wouldn’t be surprised if they (QB/Woody) really don’t understand what the game could be like, and the vitriol that’s going to happen. So it’s possible? lol this would be serious 4D chess by Dolson if that was the case. 

Woodson is delusional. He probably still thinks he is beloved. He will He in for an ugly Saturday

Few would be a home run. 

I wonder if he is thinking he cant win a Natty at Gonzaga in the super conference and NIL world? That would be a ridiculous pull of a hire if it wasn’t BS.

I can think of a Few more too. 

Yes, I notice Few was capitalized there…

[Hovadipo 61,600]

Yeah let’s do 10 pages on semantics sounds like a friggin’ smashing good time!

[tyappleg 8,211]

Oh good, another pissing match between AH and other members.  Just what I wanted.

Not bad to have for a backup option.

Someone is taking things personally.

He was “retired”. Semantics aside. He hasn’t done his job and Indiana doesn’t want him as a coach anymore.

I heard he was linked to the UNC job because of his connection to Roy Williams, but maybe that job is not open. I think he got a DUI out there a few years back, now they're not winning the WCC so consistently. Never coached at a big time school. Probably thinks a fresh start would be good. I would 100% welcome him with our resources, even though he's 62. He's got 8 years of coaching in him.

Wait…….Jay Wright?!

You’re missing one, but you got one of our top four there. There were a Few people who reached out to us expressing interest that is an exceptional back up plan if needed unexpectedly. 

always thought Mark was a Northwest Coast lifer... interesting

I’d take jay wright in a nanosecond. Odd we never throw that name in the har

That’s another I would give $10 mill in NIL and roll the ball out.

I wanted Few 2 coaching hires ago. He was my #1. Damn. It would still be ok, I guess, but Let’s get Beard if this is the route we are looking.
