Amazing how rent free that guy continues to live in some of your heads.

Some of us just enjoy a good play on words, like when someone questions what the AH in your name really stands for. It's not that deep lol

Speaking of dumps...

Nature calls!

You missed a golden chance to make a joke about Woodson's end of game decisions.

The IU administration is so incompetent, including Dolson. Can’t even get a firing/retirement announcement right but we’re to believe they’ve got Stevens in the bag?

The fact that there is silence from AD offices is startling to me. I would like to think they have a clue in that office after Cignetti but makes one wonder.....

The fact there is silence, instead of being reactionary, might be signaling they are taking a more professional approach. This latest turn is only a little over 24 hours old, and possibly complicated by a man who is cornered and reacting emotionally at whatever is happening. This man also has very powerful friends.

You don’t know what you’re taking about. Go somewhere else and sling mud at people’s posts. Lord you’re insufferable 

I don’t? I’ve seen several posts here in the past that have used Seth Davis’ proclamation of Stevens one day coaching IU as confirmation. Now all of the sudden his opinion doesn’t matter? Weird how that works.

That's just a visceral reaction. Trust the process, it works.

Brad Stevens is not going to be IU's coach. 

Tell yourself that over and over and maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised. I still have no confidence in the admin and all the loopholes Scott Dolson has to jump through to do his job. They've proven to be incompetent beyond belief. Scott nailed it with Cignetti. If he doesn't have full reign to get his guy, might be time to find a new team to root for,

There's probably more than 1 attorney involved in what's currently transpiring and until everybody's satisfied with the language in a final retirement/resignation/termination agreement we won't hear anything official from the university.

[IUFAN1976]

I thought there an official announcement.  TheDailyHoosier stating:  “IU publicizing Woodson departure now was the only choice”.  And there were other articles.  I read it that he’s contemplating retirement totally from basketball, but has left the door open to entertain offers, but that won’t be IU.  I could be wrong but that is how I read it.

It'll be short list of offers.

But he hired cig. That's all I ever read
This whole thing has been a cluster. Bottom line is nobody tells Mike woodson when he is done. Mike Woodson decides that

Letting him ride out the year is just further proof we don’t have standards and terrifies me for the next hire. 
 

 

No it doesn't, what is the difference if he stays the rest of the season

My only issue is...Then why not hold staff and team meetings after that has been finalized...they had to know there was a high likelihood this would be leaked and they'd have to address it if those meetings occurred before having all the details already ironed out. 

I'd never go to my larger team and let them know one of our managers is being fired/retiring/stepping away, without having all of those details ironed out first.

I normally do ignore his posts but I couldn't resist that one. I will emulate Mr. Swanson better from here on out, my apologies!

Oh dear lord...how many times do we have to go over this???? Jersey can you take this one?? lol

[iubb]

Again, if this was all bad reporting and he was going to return next year IU would have put out a statement stating as such..

That they have not done so tells me its true and there are still legal issues being worked out

So what if we run into a similar scenario tomorrow like Illinois or Wisconsin?

The embarrassment of boos raining down and SSAH clearing out at halftime.  That's not enough narrative to pull the plug?

Someone help me remember, Archie didn't start getting the boos until his last two games correct?   

This soap opera season still has quite a few games left.  What do they think will happen to let MW finish out?  Dignity?  Gimme a break.

Yeah, "dignity" left the building months ago. Just pull the plug.
