They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

[WayneFleekHoosier 49,289]

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

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

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.

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

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.

It REALLY takes a substantial amount of effort to be as argumentative as a certain poster on here. It wears me out just to watch.

The money would have to be right for him to want to leave the studio.

Don't see him coming back to CBB. Unless he's replacing Neptune at Nova lol

Same. Didn’t he also say “why would I ever coach at a place like Indiana?  Total fish bowl.   Lose a game and the fans are all over you “?!??

So that means he won’t be coaching in the tourney……Tony Bennett….Stevens…..Donovan……

Who else is there that isn't coaching right now? In drawing blanks apart from them.

Oops, Woody thread.  I hope to not see Woody on Senior Night and I appreciate what you did for our university 40 years ago.

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!

A fight between players? Assistant coaches? An assistant coach and Woodson?

Looks like it's even more out of control than it appears from the outside.

Ah1971 here to rain on our damn parade! As if woodson just contemplating retirement wasn't bad enough!
