So February 3rd of last year. After the Hoosiers lost to Penn State for their 9th lose of the season. Yeah, he doesn't care. That's as bad as the Woodson wine and cigars picture after a loss.

I am thinking that's just when the person tweeted this video. I distinctly remember it being in one of TJD's years... maybe I'm mistaken but I don't think so.

Unfortunately I think we have a group of guys that just want their paychecks. They could care less about IU. 
Is there any way to make NIL performance based? 

I think that’s definitely the problem with the top guys in the portal. Most likely in it for money rather than playing time. Hard to build a team of mercs that way. I think Goode wants to win. He seems passionate. But even for our guys like Galloway and Leal.. There’s no incentive to succeed. They already have the carrot.

I think all of it takes time. Lots of things to nail down. Be patient. 

Would you be referring to nailing down which days of the week we are utilizing a plane and which days are utilizing a chopper for transportation to Carmel Soccer?

I agree. Think this is a couple years old. That mark guy is a troll account.

Unpopular opinion—I’d rehire Coach Crean if he could fix roughly 3 things. 

1) set schedule/normality in routine

2) warmer personality/less difficult to work with administratively

3) less awkward/more successful high school relationships and recruiting. 
 

I’d accept some of the ups and downs and I think those steps above would resolve some of those issues. How many of us miss watching a team that could shoot?

Who has that video of Buckner doing a goofy dance in the IU locker room during I think Mike's second season around March, maybe when they punched their ticket or won 1st round game? Was he also eating a sandwich or something... I remember it being pretty ridiculous lol. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

That video was from the Pacers locker room

Gotcha.

This thread should be smooth sailing from here on out.  Seems like everyone is on the same page.   No need to  call anyone out anymore.    It’s over for Woodson.    While some might not agree on how some post about the firing everyone wants the same thing moving forward.     This should be the easiest thread to moderate moving forward

Only health I’ve heard is with Woodson. Might need to retire due to health reasons. 

My Mullins guy told me way back. That Woody wasn't real healthy and had a hard  time getting around and it was noticed. Something about getting in a  vehicle at a sectional game.

Is it too late to change my vote? I think he should stay.

So the twitter burners have mentioned some "health issues" with the team as a "reason" why they aren't playing well.  I assume it's deeper than Malik's injury.  Any insight?  

Does Woodson being butt-hurt count?

Joking aside, I’ve not seen/heard anything beyond the obvious - Newton and Reneau.

Not going to rehash the Crean dismissal, but there were all sorts of red flags besides the sweet 16 losses which showed the program was trending down and justified the decision.  He was kind of a bumbling, fumbling, dude.   My understanding is he was a little "corny" and "goofy" to work with.  Add the in-state recruiting issues, the "Creaning" (which is expected now with the portal), and his lack of defensive balance, off the court issues, etc., you could make a case for letting him go and trying to step up to someone better.  Problem is IU spit the bit and didn't go with someone better.  In hindsight, the Crean dismissal may have been a mistake. 

But, Tom Crean is a perfect example that even a marginal coach with the right attributes can have some success at IU.  Imagine what could happen with a good to great coach.  

(PS: Not bashing Crean.  I am grateful that he took the job when IU was facing the abyss and got us back on the map.  I thought he did a very good job from where he started.  Just couldn't sustain it.  Definitely deserves our respect.)   

I still say call him up and ask him to be the interim!  I darn sure know he can coach this team better than MW.  He would have them do those rebounding drills, which is something this team sucks at and he will get them to shoot the 3 better!

I can’t really blame the younger fans but this is a sad state of affairs.

I think part of it is figuring out who the interim coach will be. I’m sure there are a few coaches who want it. It could lead to big money at their next job if they get us playing well. Then does Jordy Or Calbert move up. How do we make it a smooth transition. Things like that.

The more I look at him the more I come around. What he did at LSU was shady as hell but it's legal now. There's no doubt he can coach, he's young, enthusiastic - we could (and probably will) do far worse.
