After the season tanked, Woodson decided to make some changes to try salvaging the season.  

1. Limiting the 2 bigs lineup
2. Got rid of the mass second team substitution
3. Shortened his bench
4. Began playing Leal, a 5th year senior that was one of our better glue guys, more minutes.
5. He hasn't religiously stuck to the 2 first half fouls benching

A lot of posters on this board have been asking for these changes.  It just took a coach making 4 million a year a little while to figure out something that educated fans have been saying for a while.  Enjoy retirement Mike Woodson!   

Better late than never!  Lol

This is in the coaching candidate thread, but Trilly said Dolson is working to repair AAU/HS coach relationships in Indiana.  The Woody White Knights can spare me their narrative about how we should support Woody now that he was fired.  Not only was he a bad coach that divided the fanbase with his pathetic narratives, he also damaged IUBB recruiting.  What a guy!  And I bet he does more damage on his way out too.

What kills me is he has stated many times over that he loves Indiana. It’s almost like he’s got this chip on his shoulder for IU for some reason.  He’s done so much damage that it will take us years to repair.

Yea.  It's pretty darn clear he does not love Indiana.  He loves Mike Woodson and Mike Woodson having a high paying and prestigious job.  Now that Indiana is no longer going to give him that, it appears he actually has contempt for IU and I think we're going to see more of that on his way out.  I'm still surprised how pathetic he is.

I actually think the contempt was there even before he took the job, maybe getting passed over before and that’s when it started but it’s freaking obvious that MW only loves MW.  He really thinks highly of himself, that’s for sure!  I say good riddance to bad rubbish!!!!

undeservedly way too much.  It’s like the guy walks on water.  Honestly, what has he done lately to deserve this royal treatment?  He played over 40 years ago, majority of the fans probably didn’t even know who he was before he started coaching here.  Mike Woodson who?

They claim he is some sort of legend who deserves special treatment. Based on what scoring a bunch of points?So did calbert but calbert made a final four and woodson didnt .Fife actually made a championship game and also won a big ten title. But Woodson treated him like garbage. So basically certain former players can be treated like trash while others walk on water. Whether you like fife or not he went further than Woodson ever did in the tourney. There is no way they would even allow Woodson to be discarded like fife was. Woodson isn't a good person imo.

Brian Evans made a great point. The athletic department just laid off 25 people but Woodson wants his 8 million still even though he claims he is retiring. So how are you owed 8 million when you are leaving on your own? He loves iu so much maybe he should spare the money to rehire those people.

I like Fife, he was done dirty by Woodson and Woodson isn’t even a good human being.  Actually, he’s an untrustworthy snake in grass that shouldn’t have been allowed to finish out the season.  By letting him do that, he could cause more damage to the program

Some claim to not like fife but the fact is all we know is the leaked stuff from Woodson. As Evans said at some point fife will share his side of things and it sounds like it could be eye opening. I am sure it's way different than Woodson's fife hit piece

When he went to the "you come to Mike Woodson, Mike Woodson doesn't come to you" statement in his opening presser, it pretty much told us what we were getting.  I was hoping he would "get us over the hump" and back good tournament runs consistently.  "I wish I knew" on many of his responses kills me too.  Anywho, on to better times ..!!

Looks like they are really doing it up for the man who loves iu with all his heart. The one and only king.

STRIPE OUT GAME

Fife was on JMV the day after Brian Evans was and he was on his way up to East Lansing to watch the IU/MSU game and he shared some things but I didn’t hear it because I got in the middle of the interview.

I know JMV loves fife and thinks he totally got screwed by the king. So I am sure they have talked off radio about it.

Likes Scott and respects him doesn’t think Scott got to pic the head coach.  Ripped the nba and coaches asking what the heck do  they do all day (implying Woody didn’t much coaching).   Players don’t respect the staff.  Blames the problems in the staff and that he wouldn’t get rid of any of the players because he thinks if they actually were coached they would be good.   He is retired from coaching and this last stint and his experience will keep him from coaching but did leave the door open when JmV pushed.   Hates the people that are in the sport because of NIL.  Crappy people and it’s turning good people bad but it’s the way college basketball is now.   Said a few weeks ago he knew on day 2 that he knew his situation wasn’t going to work out.  Paraphrasing and leaving out some stuff  but that’s what i remember

Unless I'm doing something wrong -- those links don't let you FF to the spot you want. Kinda want to hear what Fife has to say, but don't have 2 hours to devote until getting to his interview.

Can you imagine fife suggesting some strategies to the king. Yeah clearly was not going to work. Nobody tells the king how to coach. Nobody!!!

Right under the purple play is a bunch of lines.   Index finger on the lines and move it down the line
