How did McCasland move up on the list ??  There are at least 10 names with better resumes before we get to a guy who "well, he went to the ncaa tournament twice in his career...once sweey 16, once round of 32"....if that is our goal...to make the ncaa every 5-10 years...otherwise, we need to shoot higher

Bruce Pearl has been past the S16 twice and has coached over 20 years. He’s a unanimous pick by many.

I also don't care if he coaches the rest of the season or not. I’d prefer not, but as long as he is gone, I agree with the thought that it has no bearing on our search either way.

What will be bad is if there is no official announcement before the game tomorrow.

If he wants to continue to show his @$$, let him. He's the only one who suffers in the long run. IU will proceed professionally and hopefully make a great decision on the next coach. Mike Woodson's tenure at IU as a thorn in the sides of fans will be forgotten quickly with any amount of success. We all feel that Mike Woodson is acting unprofessionally and with retribution in mind, and no one supports someone acting like that. None of us or the leadership at Indiana should be acting in a manner like that, either. Let MW make his own bed. Even if it's not until the end of the season, he's still the one who has to lie in it.

I agree with some of this, disagree with others. Dont think coaching candidates would bat an eye at putting sorry Woody back on the shelf with 8 games left - do think they’d be turned off by basically two months of fans booing coaches and players at home. What kind of home court advantage is that? Maybe enthusiasm is so bad, attendance will be low enough that those optics don’t leave a lasting impression…

Already Noon and no official word from the University.  What a freaking clown show.  Clearly a lot of BS is happening behind the scenes.  Scott needs to go to Whitten and end this chit.  Since he won't go peacefully, fire his sorry a$$ for insubordination (among other things) and escort him out of the building.  There's a game in 24 hours.

But he’s not a unanimous pick by all?

In the long run, I don't think other coaches view any of that as a factor. They're smart enough to know if you win, you get cheers, and if you lose, you get boos.

And you know this how?  He's clearly using a power play.  If he wins, Dolson could be the odd man out.  I doubt it, but now this is making the University look like chit.  Rumors, and nobody really knows what is going on.  Need to end this.

they said so?

Astonishing to me certain dudes are allowed in the sports world, to begin with. Seth Davis vs Woj in a game of HORSE... the loser deletes their Twitter account and has to work at Wendy's. 

You telling me rabjohns wasn't a star bbal player who averaged 25 a game?

No need to worry.....he won't win.

I will eat my hat if Woodson is coaching here next year...

 

Its been all but confirmed he is gone at the end of the seson

So how unusual is it for information like this to leak out through media with small differences in their story. To have the school not say a word about what is going on almost 24 hours later?

Also, everyone claiming that to fire him now would be "terrible" for the university....explain how???? The guy has been a flop. This happens in every facet of life...you fail at your job, you get fired. Who in Indiana is going to clutch their pearls because IU fired a failing coach???Is the thinking that other coaches will not want to come because they might get fired for sucking??? This must be coming from the "feelings" crowd.....

If he wants to go East Lansing and lose by 30 I guess let him. He will just make a fool out of himself at this point.

Have we tried telling Brad we don't want him? 

We're the prize here.
