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.

What types of reactions do you envision? Are you embellishing or do you really believe IU fans will become violent? Should Woodson be concerned for his safety, and that of his family? 
First there is a level of concern probably for every high major coach at least on some level. People are crazy and unpredictable imo. I have been a fan since I was 4 years old and I want woodson gone more than anyone or as much as anyone. Watching last night I was almost in tears because of how sad it was to see what's become of iu basketball. Who knows what crazy people might do if they also care. The crowd seemed restless and chanting and booing is not a safe environment for anyone. I mostly feel bad for people who have young kids or older folks having to be in that building hearing and seeing such devastation. The only path forward is removing the man who is unquestionably responsible. Quinwoodson

I agree, it would provide a visceral solution for some, but it wouldn’t impact the long term health of the program, which should be the objective.

Action matters. The administration sitting silently on their thumbs sends the message that they are content and accepting of the current state of the program. Silence is concurrence.

Not sure why this thread is so active… Kathy has made it pretty clear. We’re supposed to sit here stone faced until the end of the year and mindlessly say “go IU” the whole time… anything else is patently absurd and overly emotional. Lol 
I just gotta get these guys... again I got 7 new players. There is a process per Kathy before we hire randy wittman next.

I really don't care if they let the night janitor take over. Just need to show possible candiates that we are serious and the job is open now.

Martha The Mop Lady it is!  Can she start today?

I think we all see the writing on the wall. Mike Woodson will not be the head coach next season, it’s all but a done deal at this point. 
Crean got 9 years
Tge king gets 9 years. He has 7 new players!!!!

I would agree with that. I don't know if I should love or hate Lawarence but I think he started my love for alcohol. He student taught at my high school and he gave us his driving license that said he was 21 to use to get alcohol when we were seniors

Funny $hit that dude was my fraternity brother fast talking Jersey guy funny stuff came out of his mouth.

Hopefully not.  But you never know.  Millions of fans with some definite crazies in the mix who have been **** on by this administration for 25 years.  Keeping him on until the season is over you risk something like a Dave Bliss situation that brings down not just the basketball program but the university.

Why do that when we all know he’s gone?  That’s some very inept and irresponsible management.

I think I am finally to the point where we have to let the program fully die, for it to be reborn. The sad reality is that Indiana basketball doesn't mean much, if anything, any more in the college basketball landscape. Kids don't care about our dated championships, dusty banners, candy stripe pants, Bob Knight, and on and on...because none of it has ever truly meant anything in their lifetime. We are holding onto ghosts, and it's time we realize it's dead. 

Since 2000, we have made it beyond the 1st weekend of the NCAA tournament 4 times...per the article I just read, you can actually go back to 1995 and that number is still just..4 times. Since 1995 we have won 3 conference titles. In that same period (1995) we have gone through 6 coaches, trying to do the same things, touting the same tradition, with mostly the same results. Rinse, repeat. 

It all has to die...and a new voice, with new traditions, new facilities, new identity, new expectations, new everything has to be reborn. We have to step into the current times and modernize the program. Give the new coach total control to change whatever they want, to try to rise this program from the ashes.

Mike Davis and Dan Dakich come to mind as a couple of data points. I guess Pat Riley was a good interim coaches several decades ago.

So your answer is no, you do have a couple debatable anecdotes though.

You can't be taken seriously worrying about this.

At this point let him stay and get booed every single game to become ths least popular coach in history. Let Kathy's process play out. Make the king live a nighmare.
