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.

MW apologist!

It’s a legit question. I truly believe that if the coming season doesn’t go well (along the lines of the season we just had) Woodson will be done.

But if the season goes very well, does that mean that that Woody all of the sudden learned to coach, or that we constructed a roster built to win?

Yes it is but to me, this is about his poor behavior this past year!  I was all for the hiring of MW at the time but this past year has greatly soured me on him.  BK was an a** and I didn’t support his behavior but 3 National Championships, great graduation rate, and the support & dollars he gave to the university, I was willing to look the other way.  MW hasn’t done anything close to those standards but he acts like he has and his behavior this past year represented that, IMO.

Fair enough!

It won’t mean that Woodson has learned how to coach. Daddy bought him a brand new Lamborghini and gave Mikey the keys. Does anyone really expect him to not wrap it around a tree?

With an NIL bankroll of $6M (+), he’s got the team. Most P4 coaches should be able to get past the first week of the NCAAT.

It’s still not clear that Woodson is “most P4 coaches”.

But he’s all set up now. It’s time to sink or swim. He’s known as Mediocre Mike for a reason.

It’s going take a ton of winning, B10 championship, minimum 4 seed, and at least an elite 8 appearance but it may take a FF4 appearance for most of us.  Anything short of that, it will take an apology, which won’t happen, or him being fired.  His behavior was unprofessional, IMO.  It struck be as extreme defensiveness and somebody who thinks he’s entitled because of playing for IU, NBA and coaching in the NBA. IMO, That doesn’t give you a free pass to behave like that.  Most everyone answers to someone.  It seems as most of the people who were stating the same thing many of us have in this thread, have turned the other cheek just because he’s assembled a great transfer portal class but what he did and said is borderline unforgivable and very unprofessional.  How much winning will cure most of us that feel this way, well I can’t speak for them but I stated it above for me.

Couldn’t have said it better myself

Really don’t care about how he acts. Not sure why it bothers some of you guys. Doesn’t affect you. Can’t do anything about it. 
 

If his actions have materially impacted your life, please share how 

He hurt my self esteem when he called me not a true fan.  So there’s that.

True fans are okay with Woodson's crappy coaching because he played here over 40 years ago.

Agreed here. Just seems more likely that Woodson underperforms versus the talent we’ve acquired. Would love to be wrong.

And I don’t think it’s “he doesn’t know how to coach”. Instead I think it’s “he doesn’t know how to coach college basketball” which is just a different beast than the NBA. He seems to do well with the NBA talent on the roster, he just doesn’t do anything with the rest of the roster.

I hope Woodson does have a fantastic season for all of our sakes. In the end I don't think it can be to good of season because I am convinced he isn't good

And to watch more temper tantrums.....
The "journeyman" who coaches BBall at IU once scored 48 points in an NBA game.
 
More salt.....your turn.

Clearly, playing and coaching are not the same thing.

Kentucky has had how many top 5 classes in a row?  If these Hoosiers make it to the Elite Eight (I think it's that type of roster) then yeah the coaching stepped up.  Talent can only take you so far.  

I honestly think we'll find out in our first ranked competitive game. If there's better perimeter defense then we're going places. I hope Coach listens to criticism and adjusts.
