Having known him personally, I'm 100% entitled to that POS remark. 

Ok…and maybe…just maybe there’s other on this board who know him or know others that know him personally  that have a different perspective of Dane

And they all looked like idiots for backing Davis. We should have hired Jay Wright then and told the players to piss off. 

But yes, really. 

Lol. Ok. We would’ve never had that Final Four run. But yea, whatever, keep hating on a former player and a former coach that represented the university well given his circumstances.

Fantastic! To them, he may be the cat's meow, but to me, he's always the same POS I've known.

Did Dane Fife commit the dumbest foul in Indiana's history?

You know IUBB dialogue is in peak form when the merits of Dane Fife as a coach / individual are being debated lol. Lord I can’t wait for this program to actually give us something to root for. Anybody thinking there’s a chance he’s gone after Illinois game is sorely mistaken IMO, not even remotely on the table. It’s either as soon as BTT ends or, if he’s really had enough, toward the end of the regular season on a Friday afternoon at 5pm - fading away into the night like a silent fart.

No we might've just won multiple titles.

I’d 100/100 times trade for Jay Wright leading IUBB over the fluke F4 run with Davis. Who knows how many actual championships we may have won if he came here… wasn’t following closely at the time, but would be shocked if that was really a possibility

Yea…if we kept Bob Knight. It didn’t work out that way and the 02 Team backed Davis.  Get over it. That was 23 years ago and our best team in 3 decades.

There’s no point in firing him mid season. The season was a lost cause when they decided to bring him back. There’s no benefit to trying to salvage it now. Just let Woodson end the season with a whimper in a couple months and completely clean house.

Bob Knight made it so we couldn't keep Bob Knight. Let's not pretend otherwise.

Jay Wright was never a possibility. Hindsight is 20/20

No doubt there are signs woodson knows he is out. Just hoping i am not reading to much into them. I felt the same towards the end of last season and was wrong. My wild long shot prayer is dolson had his home run lined up last season but he couldn't start or commit to the job till 25 26 season lol. Hoping he talked woodson into staying to land the big fish. That's my dream!

I freaking guarantee you that nobody had to talk Woodson into staying. He set up camp and told the world "move me if you can". 

Hopefully, you're correct on the rest of this...

How do you know that? he was at freaking Hofstra. lol 

But either way, he was just an example of one of the 100s of coaches we could have had over Mike Davis.

everyone is entitled to their opinion but the continuous bashing and calling Fife a “POS” and “a Prick” etc…is complete BS and nauseating. It’s gone on for what? 3 years now. That dude bleeds Crimson ‘n Cream and also, barring something unforeseen, he’s not returning to coaching. He’s built himself a successful career outside of basketball. 

I haven't called him any names but in my dealings with him as a player and as an assistant, he was the definition to me of a prick. But each their own. I don't speak about him much because I don't think he will ever have anything to do with the program again.
