We all realllllyyyyy dislike Woodson but Fife did some behind the scenes stuff at IU prior to even IU playing their first game with him as an assistant coach that honestly could have led to his dismissal. Probably would have if he hadn't been an IU grad. Do tell

Popular Post WayneFleekHoosier Posted January 30, 2025 Popular Post Posted January 30, 2025 Of If I remember correctly Smith’s family told IU ahead of time that if Purdue offers they were going to take it. Trying to get IU to offer. I remember Criss Byers saying IU should be all over this kid. Clearly a huge miss but let’s face it, he wouldn’t have flourished under our coaching staff. We haven’t had a breakout talent in a longtime. Need a new staff to fix this. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app 8bucks, OKHOOSIER, tkbbn and 9 others 12

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted January 30, 2025 Posted January 30, 2025 I've been away from Bloomington for too long. Is there a geographic spot that after Woody's gone could be renamed 'The Hump'? GloryDays and tkbbn 2

Don't know that I agree about their view of how we recruit/don't recruit the state however. I think we just suck at recruiting the state. They seemed to believe that Woodson believes he's above recruiting Fixed. The guy had to be told to go to sectionals for crying out loud.

But I suppose it’s possible. But in any event, guys like Roy Williams, Eddie Sutton, and even our own branch McCracken have done it successfully in div 1. Countless others at other levels. Woodsons problem isn’t where he played basketball, but how he coaches basketball. IUFAN1976, go iu bb, thebigweave and 1 other 4

He said Aaron was never close to committing but after Anderson and Smith committed Archie stopped recruiting him. thebigweave and MikeRoberts 2
IUHAHN81 Posted January 30, 2025 Posted January 30, 2025 Look, as long as Mike is above .500 winning percentage, he's doing his job ok?! Guys got 6 losses in a row he can have before he gets a little nervous about the situation. Even then, he's only 1 win away from a 2 games above .500 record. To him, that breathing room! tkbbn and JF87 1 1

You can't miss on Braden Smith if you're Archie. Not exactly a glowing endorsement.....'kid playing in the second best basketball conference in our state'. If it's all about just getting kids playing in good basketball conferences in Indiana, then IU was correct in prioritizing C.J. Gunn over him. Braden Smith was ranked 216th in his class. Kudos to Painter for seeing something in him that others didn't, but it's not like the kid had any other high major offers. cybergates 1
