coonhounds Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 Let's not forget there has already been fighting among players and coaches in the huddle. I believe when the season really starts and things get hard this house of cards will fall apart. I will be more shocked if Woodson finishes the season. It may be medical or some other reason besides firing but I doubt he makes it imo. This will get bad unless he can get these guys playing alot better.

My fear is that just making the NCAA Tournament is good enough for Woodson to keep his job. I can see the argument being made that we went so long without making the Tournament that Woodson should be rewarded for making the Tournament 3 out of 4 years. The problem with this argument is that Woodson inherited a solid roster, has open free agency, and huge NIL dollars. So, his situation and results don't compare to Miller and Crean. I can't think of a coach that has done so little with the collection of 4- and 5-star talent we've recruited. DougWil and tkbbn 2

When you lose the fanbase like Woodson has, you don't get it back. His age and lack of recruiting aren't helping him, either. HoosierHoopster and AZ Hoosier 2
go iu bb Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 For all those thinking that IU will be back next year no matter what, remember that roughly 2/3 of his losses are blowouts. Since they'll probably finish around .500 in the B1G, that's another 9 losses there. 6 of them will probably be blowouts. Then a blowout in the B1GT. This makes it unlikely they'll get to the NCAAT, but even if they do they'll get blown out there in the 1st or 2nd round. Attendance will continue to get worse and worse as fans become more apathetic. I just don't see him being brought back even if he squeaks into the tournament simply because of all the blow out losses and losing the fanbase. Buckner won't be able to protect him and the NIL money this year wasn't well spent. Pagoda 1

Someone is punking the public: Woodson embraced "a modern style of play" at Indiana. He implemented "a four-out one-in offensive system that highlights versatile athletes in a free-flowing system" and "made a point to emphasize that he understood the importance of 3-pointers."[24] Woodson also utilizes analytics to help determine player combinations.[24] Free flow offense is what our opponents enjoy when they play us.

TTT Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 The guy who ranks IU 19 may have a vested interest in a coach Woodson contract extension. Deserthoozier 1
Hornsby Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 As long as he's protected by Buckner...he may be going nowhere despite people howling for his job. Woodson and Buckner probably don't care what people want or think. For instance, all of AH could boo Woodson and he probably wouldn’t be phased lol.He isn't in the least. If he has quinn and the money boosters he is good. A boo won't bother the king in the least. He has such a massive ego it's why he doesn't seem worried. He knows he is good.Sent from my SM-A146U using Tapatalk
Hornsby Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 We have not built a resume to get in yet. And would need to dramatically improve our play to have any chance of going .500 in conference. Let alone well enough to make the tourney But we beat minnesota. That's our big win. Lol.Sent from my SM-A146U using Tapatalk
