Mark Few is a name I wouldn't have even considered, but after JY's post here we are.  One thing Few would bring is a history of attracting foreign players.  I've long wished we would tap that market and bring in players with euro/international experience.  Good fundamentals, size, and shooting without being corrupted by AAU type play.

FWIW, most of their foreign recruiting came from Tommy Lloyd. That well has dried up to some extent since he went to Arizona.

Sir it’s not 11 am so of course he wouldn’t be in to work yet.

Do you think it will be someone on this list?  It's a pretty good list.  I'd take most of them--key word is MOST, not ALL!      My Purdue Jockstrap label is gone!!!!

The King doesn’t show up until 10 likely. Team practices early afternoon if I remember correctly. 

10?  That's lunchtime.

HAHA he's not coming in early anymore. I'm not totally sold on him coaching Saturday either. 

Me neither!  I think it’s a big mistake Saturday and the rest of the season.  He was forced to retire, only because he was an ex IU player.  Getting forced to retire is basically a glorified firing!  I still think the booing will be just as loud as ever!

Young one....Rick would never be an option....what is he 80 now?

No way, he couldn't make it at Minnesota.  This is the out of left field I am worried about, lol.

Do you really think Mike Woodson has any idea what Lyft is? LOL

An app you can use to summon people with the click of a button is right up Mike Woodson’s alley.

Stevens, Beard, May, and Few as your 4 options? That's a HELLUVA list.

I think the booing will be even worse and the chant will change to "Retire Woody". Because the Woodson statement said "Contemplating" many will think coming back is still an option.  Will.be.ugly

OK.  Well played.  We have a winner, folks!  Ding ding!
Beat that.

He very well may have "beat it" to get rid of a Woody.

It's always easy to see when he's there, because of the way he parks.

Because he takes up 3 parking spots?

While we're waiting on the official word on Woodson, it's nice to see some national writers admitting that IU is a great program just waiting for the right coach. And also, that it just can't seem to get out of its own way...

I would think it’s a day off for coach.  The game is not until tomorrow.  
And the team given the day off to get freshened up.

Is this what is called ‘getting run out of town.’

There should be no days off for coach when the team has lost 6 of 7
