No Jay Wright 

Brad, Dusty, Bruce, Mark

What are your current odds on Brad being the guy?

We need an official announcement on retirement so we can get our next guy lined up.  There's going to be competition this year.  

Currently-  Virginia, Miami, and Florida State

Probably-  Iowa and Syracuse

Possibly-  North Carolina and Texas

Honestly even if UNC is open with NIL money  alone Indiana is going to be the top open job.

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

Curious why you are so certain he is going to finish the year vs. retire and step away. 
He very well could, and you could be right, but nothing has been announced yet. “Specifics”, “Announcement” still to come per everything I’ve read.

I have a hard time getting excited for a coach in their 60's. But whatever we get will be better than Woodson.

For me 1.Brad  4.Dusty 

man- tough choice for #2/#3 between Bruce and Mark!

My sentiments exactly. I think lean Pearl at #2 bc of his personality and passion.

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!

This post might break the internet.

IU has money, UNC still has Blue Blood status.

Cignetti is 63 also. I would take Few and be happy if it comes to that.

Anyone else excited and happy, yet still has a voice inside their head that is saying, "It's IU basketball and something will get screwed up in the end?"  That's me.  I want to hear it or read the words, "Woodson is 100% not coming back next season."  

A part of me thinks he will go on a run to end the season and then get a 5th year.  Call me jaded after 30 years of mediocre basketball.  Go Hoosiers!!!

Ccg (RIP) messaged me, told me that he, Jaybob, Natty and MDN were over here. Never looked back!!

It’s been nice seeing the old posters posting more here lately.  Feels like old times. lol. Hopefully we all have some good times ahead of us this coaching cycle

I could buy that...

These fire and coach search threads are fun but it would be cool not to do this again for ohhh say 20-25 years from now.

It’s gonna get ugly in the Hall Saturday …..woody is going to freak out…he might walkout at half and I wouldn’t blame him.  The humiliation he is going to put himself through is …hands up.. crazy.

Maybe I am in the minority here but I’m all about it.

I thought he was quitting today. Instead he is finishing the year and knowing him if he went on a run somehow he'd declare I'm not retiring anymore. Just can him now

I’m retired. You just don’t announce I’m retired, there’s paperwork involved. And once you sign, you just can’t say I’ve changed my mind and go on like you didn’t.
