Over helping on D a pass away - open 3s career night for just about every team that plays us 

Forcing 1985 basketball 3 men in the paint 

Dumb game management/clock management ex) too many 

Having the 4 exclusively inbound the ball off makes 

Auto bench w/ 2 fouls 

Recruiting mistakes 

Open scholarship  

Lack of energy and hustle 

Situational awareness on fouling 

Lack of repercussions 

0 energy from bench - Looking at you sleepy Hill 

Firing Fife due to politics

FT shooting (3years)

Lack of 3s (3years)

3 man weave w/ no action

Lack of blocking out 

No repercussions for off court or on court trouble ie X 

The fudging hump

No accountability  

Recruiting well has dried up, risk losing out on 2025 class great In State talent 

Rolling the same starters out regardless of play 

I could keep going but this can’t last another year. It’s not IU basketball and everyone knows it. If he stays I will quit watching for the first time in my life and I don’t believe I’m alone. It’s not tolerable and it is truly sad - FIRE WOODSON 

We all want him fired but we all know deep down IU will not pay that buyout to fire him, nor will Quinn Buckner allow it, and Woodson is too stubborn to just walk away.  The bottom line, I guess you won’t be watching games next year, and you may not be alone.  My guess is that many of us are feeling that way too!

I think, because of who he is, he will be given every opportunity to right the ship. No matter how unlikely it is, it’s still possible they could win the Big Ten tournament. There’s like a .000001 percent chance, but it’s still possible.

This would be the damn year we would win our first BTT!

Well this is a change of pace from his normal post-game comments.  You could almost read into it that he knows he needs to quit/retire whatever

Mike Woodson: “I’m not happy with how I coached this team … I think I can take any team and win with it … I won’t blame my players. I will always put it on Mike Woodson.”

Mike Woodson: "Again, I’m upset with the way we played, the way I’ve coached this team this whole season. We’ve lost more games at home than we’ve lost in the last two years. That’s just not good."

There’s no way you can bring him back next season.

Repeat and rinse.....I'm just tired of this crap.

Thanks for your resilience and dedication!

I need as much help as possible so everyone who wants a change needs to be with me

 Like my political science teacher said if you don't vote then you have no right to complain. So just don't complain on social media but let your voice he heard.

Discussions lead to opportunities to BS (talk) your way into getting another chance.

I know I will get ridiculed but I sent this to Dolson.

Dear Scott,

 

I know you have a tough job and probably are tired of fans like me emailing you. This basketball program is a dumpster fire and there is no hope for the future. It is time to bring the Mike Woodson era of coaching Indiana to an end. He is not the answer and every game is proving it even more. Don't wait until the end of the year but do it tonight because he is just clueless coaching the college game. We run a terrible offense where we don't emphasize 3 point shooting and just go through the post. You can't win in tbe college game playing this way. Today we went the first 38 minutes without hitting a 3 which is embarrassing.

 

Coach Woodson has lost this fan base and if you bring him back it will only get worse next year. You already have seen fans booing at home games and leaving early at home because of being blown out. 

 

Thank you, 

Scott Roberts 

Dolson: "How's the emails looking?"

Unfortunate intern finishes off a bottle of Johnny Walker in response.

Not going to happen!  Wishful thinking but he will be back next year no matter how many pages this thread is.  

You can believe that I'll believe he's done. Know a good way to nip in the bud? Dolson comes out a gives a vote of confidence. He hasn't done that. I understand CMW's ego is what everyone thinks will be the problem. But......if he's given 2 options 1) fired and we pay you 2) retire and we pay you I bet he chooses option 2.

Social media is 100% more effective than emails Dolson will neither see nor read.

Blog threads are great assessment tools.

Guys I am not going anywhere. I got a hump to defeat.

You can’t even feel sorry for him. How can you not bring in a couple of guards? How do you think you are gonna run with these guys?

It should be option 2 and it will be better for both parties but everyone knows that it will end up option because he will go away kicking and screaming and will end up making a spectacle of himself and the university

I’m not saying trilly’s wrong, and in fact he’s remarkably well-connected and accurate. BUT! On this kind of thing, with the Dolson IU AD, I think he’s been a liiiiittle behind Chris.

The other thing I’ll say is what I said in the game thread today: IU doesn’t look like a team that’s gonna win again until November. Two marquee CBS home games the next two weekends are going to have an impact.

Fire up the photoshops of people in IU sweaters!

Frankly, at this level being a lousy coach should count as cause.
