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.

A serious question 

What does firing him now help with the future of this program. We won't be able to start interviewing candidates until after the season ends anyway. We can still talk to the agents of candidates through the back channels.even if Woodson is still the coach.  The only thing firing him now is to appease impatient fans.

Every year a mid-major makes a run in the tournament and as soon as they lose the next day their coach takes a job at another school. Do you think they interview on that day and take the job immediately?

Firing him now solves the immediate issue of Assembly Hall being a hostile environment for our own players and coaches. 

It commits us to the outcome of Mike Woodson being gone at the end of this season. 

It signals that IU is serious about basketball and allows them to more aggressively pursue candidates with legitimate interest.

It demonstrates the IU admin has standards they expect to meet and won't simply ignore the fans they financially rely on.

Guys---You're reading way too much into this.

All Cathy is saying is that Mike Woodson is going to coach out the remainder of the season before the university parts ways and announces a new coach hence the "official process". She's not doing anything but dispelling rumors and speculation that he's going to be replaced mid-season.

Pretty obvious.

Mike Woodson is ruining our basketball program. Removing him now allows the healing process to begin. Keeping him through the end of the season just prolongs the inevitable and subjects the program to more embarrassment, neglect and ridicule.

The "official process" of removing Mike Woodson and announcing his replacement has nothing to do with backchanneling and sourcing potential candidates in the meantime.

Apparently she doesn’t know about the boner pills.

I said there is back channel talks and we can still do that even if we don't fire Woodson mid season. Still didn't answer my question of what good does it do IU to fire him mid season

Woodson is so delusional he probably still thinks he is doing his job. And quinn and his sidekick ferguson probably think he is also doing great.

The process at this point, as it’s always been, is to evaluate and decide at season’s end. Nothing about that changed because we played poorly against Iowa or Illinois. Unless Woodson breaks whatever rules remain or has some sort of catastrophic health issue, nothing is going to happen. 

Look, at this point the season is over one way or another. If the admin thinks that it is more advantageous to allow a program legend to finish the season so be it. Personally, I think the potential for two blowouts to your main rival, continued booing and toxicity surrounding the program, probably open cheering for Dusty to replace CMW during the UM game, and booing during senior night make it a better decision to move now. I'd also like to see what a real coach could do with all the talent we have. But like I said, it really doesn't matter when it happens (and it WILL happen).  

What I really, really need to know is that the admin is smart enough to start back channeling now. A lot of the hot names are going to start taking new deals, I would hope that Dolson is getting his list ready and finding a way to gauge interest.

Crowd didn't seem horrible during the game vs Maryland until the last few seconds. Still don't see how it shows they are not serious of basketball if you don't fire him mid season. Also how many college coaches get fired mid season in the first place especially one with a winning record.

If we can discern nothing else about Kathy, we at least know her favorite pastime is Rick rolling people on this thread. Comes in, trolls through a thinly veiled guise of "damage control lingo that us visceral knee jerk not true fans can't comprehend" and then disappearing before popping back up just to say "I told ya so". And that she's consistent with it lol

But Scotty said you can't interview candidates till the season is over which we know is not trust as the example I pointed out

I wish they could just announce that Woodson was "retiring" at the end of the season.  Then everyone would know that we are moving on and people wouldn't have to root for the team to lose during the final 10 games.

She's telling you right now that he's gone at the end of the season so you don't have to root for the team to lose. It's already been decided, it's just not going to be officially announced until the conclusion of the season.

I don't buy that at all. All I care about is the future of this  program and firing him now or at the end of the season won't change a thing.

That's the only shots he gets in our offense lol .... I just can't put much of that on the 18-year-old. Bryson Tucker should be RSing this season, truthfully, but I like him. 

He also shouldn't be playing the 2... at least not yet. 

It was his issue in HS as well.  Went to the midrange way too much.
