Yes, I've seen it said in here that there should be special places in hell for those involved. Seen Woodson called a POS.

I stated for a while that I am in favor of Woodson being terminated. I also stated that I wouldn't be involved in any sort of character assassination. No need to go down that road, imo. Only makes the poster(s) and this forum look bad.

OK thanks image.jpeg.0153728d0614ee0cf1d646159539e8c3.jpeg  You do know Woody has brought all of this $hitstorm onto himself.  It's not that hard to see!

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 ret

First thing's first, congrats to the IU women on the 4-seed and hosting opportunity. Tough draw, but they call it madness for a reason. Secondly, love you guys and this community, but goodness you're

The “compromise” by Dolson to let this go down this way saved us some good cash on the buyout. Lot of litigation today. Make no mistake about it, this was not Woody’s decision to retire.

I didn't say his removal was about race. I said I believe he is receiving racist messages.

Those would have to be posted for me to believe them.

Believe Seth Davis was one of the guys who made the claim that Brad Stevens had the "itch" to get back into coaching. Wonder what changed his mind?

For the love of all Seth Davis. 

  1. Yes, we may end up with a "lesser name" such as McCasland (YAY!!), Calhoun, Cronin, etc.
  2. But when he says "ending up with a "lesser name who does a solid job"
    • Who in their right mind could possibly think that Archie Miller or Mike Woodson has done a solid job? Neither did a solid job not just for IU, but wouldn't be considered to have done a solid job for any B1G program.

People are letting their personal feelings for MW make them a bit histrionic. Whether he quits, gets fired, or rides out the waves of boos the remainder of the season has zero bearing on how the next hiring will be conducted or result.

I don’t disagree, but can you really blame people for being upset at the idea of him coaching for another month? He’s terrible on the floor, does the bare minimum off the court, and makes it abundantly clear where his interests and priorities lay. People are fed up. They want him gone and they don’t want to have to wait, even if it’s pointless in the grand scheme of things. It will feel better doing it today and there’s hardly any downside. Indiana basketball is supposed to be something fans enjoy. They’ve made it impossible.

The logic is the same as any other workplace in America. If you are getting fired for gross incompetence you don’t get to hang around for a month.  
 

Where’s the logic in letting a guy who was already toxic hang around the lockerroom for a month. 

Again, toxic in your mind. The player seem to think otherwise. All that matters is he is gone at years end.

Oh and athletic coaching on every level is for from any other workplace. Being average or even slightly above gets you canned. 

The average annual percentage of D-I teams with new head coaches is 14.5 , so 1 in 7, that's 52 new positions every season with near zero fired in season. But go on about IU showing weakness by not satisfying your blood lust.

Because IU doesn't fire coaches in the middle of the year for gross incompetence. Not who they are nor will they ever be. We've been over this.

The forced "resignation" is significant verbiage as it pertains to his contract. 

I agree.  But organizations afraid of accountability usually don’t succeed

He’s literally fought with multiple assistant coaches. That’s toxic

I have no problem with that and don't disagree, I am conflicted whether I want him to be fired or forced to suffer through the boos the remainder of the season, so I don't lack for wanting him to feel a little of our pain. I just try  to not cloak my desire for it in a call to IU to do something is the guise that short an immediate dismissal somehow suddenly shows weakness or will affect the next hiring.

Yes, agree. IMO Dolson is in a tricky spot after more shenanigans from the university’s BOT Chair. Not weakness on his part but malicious counter action. Deeply entrenched institutional rot.

The last time we had a coaching change, there was no NIL -- or it was in its infancy. 

If we can offer $8M or $9M (and I'm just saying that because of the reported offers of $10M to BS) to a candidate, as well as a $5M payroll for his roster -- we won't have to settle for a "lesser name."

If we already have guys like Mark Few backchanneling interest in us because he can't get what he needs at his current school, I think we'll be OK.
