We still have a chance to make the tourney this year, however small. We’re punting it with Woodson staying. With that being said, it just highlights the bigger issues going on within the basketball program behind closed doors.

And what Woodson lackey is going to rip off 6 or seven wins to finish the season?

Of course, any "retirement" announcement will guarantee Woody getting the full remaining $ on his contract otherwise he would never agree to it.  Mike is dumb but not that dumb.

Just give him the money and send him back to Atlanta... so tired of his b!tching ... just make it stop.

It's a massive hell of his own making.
I'm kind of wondering why his family hasn't tried to talk some sense in to his hard head? Or are they drinking his kool-aid too?

Or he simply doesn't listen cause nobody tells the king what to do.

Because he’s tired of making 1.5 million when he could be making 10 million in Bloomington 

Why do we think Stevens only makes $1.5 million? NBA GMs routinely make $4 million plus, and as high as $10 millions according to this:

This suggests that elite NBA front office personnel regularly get $10 million:

Why does Woodson need a body guard?

I'm going to make it seamless for you, I'm giving the EXACT same look as Oladipo in that Pic.  Most people won't be able to tell that there was an edit.  

 

 

I almost need Woody to coach Saturday now.

To hold his ash tray?

Eight or 10 years ago, I'd have been over the moon with a Mark Few hire.

These days -- meh. 

He's 62, and I feel as if we'd be back searching for another coach in 4-5 years. 

I realize guys like Painter, Krzyzewski, Boeheim, Izzo, Self, etc., are unicorns these days -- but this time, I'd like to get someone with a little more staying power than we've had recently. 

Just my opinion, though.

Last week I asked how much NBA GM make and someone shared a link of the highest GM’s in the league and Brad wasn’t in the top 18. I’ll try to find it tomorrow. I think it was Stuhoo.

To protect him from his assistant coaches

I'm not convinced Woodson finishes the season. It could get awkward. And nasty. 
He's a man with a huge ego who's been scorned.  He'll take his opportunities to lob shots at people he thinks have wronged him.
Imagine the quips he makes at the post game press conferences. Give him the mic at Senior Day? Lmao no way. 

It's most likely going to get ugly. He clearly thinks he can do a I will show them type of attitude by staying. He isn't going to be gracious at all. If he wins Saturday I could see him taking shots in the press conference at those he think wronged him. He thinks he is entitled to this job ever though his big ten record is 36-36.

Thanks.  Didn't mean to call you out, just confused where the numbers was coming from.

I don’t think it’s about the money for Brad.

I don’t know because everything I hear is very positive but it’s all from our side. I also thought we had him last time so trying to stay calm

I appreciate the positioning here. The absolutes that can be posted are a bit much. This outlines optimism with the understanding that nothing is done until the ink dries.

[HoosierFan1994 4,808]

Here's why I put some stock into their Hot Board. Jeff isn't perfect but he works extremely hard. Woodson's been on the hot seat since this time last year. These names have been probably floating around since last spring. One thing I liked about IU's portal "haul": if it failed (like it has) it gets Woodson out.

I don't think Brad would be on that list, as he's President of Basketball Ops, not GM. Darryl Morey isn't listed either, even though Elton Brand, the GM who reports to him, is.
