You think Woodson knows what a Kenpom rating is?  He still thinks 2 > 3.

Good quote. Someone needs to tell QB that applies to him as well. He'll never win us another game. Bruce Pearl would.

It mainly arrogance and lack of caring about the outside noise.  Woodson is comfortable in who he is which is a great trait to have, but he is completely oblivious to what is being said on social media and these boards.

Yeah those are all just numbers. They don't mean anything. Net ranking? Mike Woodson fishes without a net

@Chris007 I'm just coping at this point, but have you heard anything about IU reaching out to Dusty at all? Are we more or less Pearl or bust? Or is Dolson just focused on selling the firing right now?

Not exactly that, but I did hear something interesting about May. Dusty May has apparently begun recruiting Braylon Mullins.

I assume that Mullins is unlikely to go to FAU.. so to me, this suggests that May thinks he'll be coaching at a bigger school in the Midwest next year. IU is not the only school looking of course.

I’m meh on Stevens at this point. He has been out of the college game for a decade and a LOT has changed since he was around. Also hasn’t coached in 3 years. His appeal is less and less as the years go on.

He's been on my sh*t list ever since he said he's a Mass-hole.

Probably throw in that Bob Knight would roll over in his grave if IU hired someone with Pearl's issues.   

Let him roll then. With the number of behavioral instances that Knight got involved in, I think there is little room for criticism of others. In fact, I think part of the problem we are having now is that Quinn and Woody are simply carrying on his attitude of being untouchable regardless of what they do. And yes, I do know how unpopular that line of thought is. But it is what I believe, so there it is.

We've covered a lot of ground today. I'm going to call it a day & head home. Good work everyone. Pat yourself on the back.

Doubt he really cares... as long as he holds power somewhere at/over the university.

I keep reading the problem(s) with Buckner, and I'm curious: Has QB actually made any statements, or is it all an assumption that he's protecting Woody? That said, I think they're bros for life & he is most definitley protecting him; I just don't recall seeing it in writing. Could be wrong.

And he appears to be completely oblivious to the reality of the shortcomings in his coaching abilities.

I really and truly believe that it is over a 75% chance that Dusty May will be the head coach of either Ohio State, Louisville, or Indiana by the end of April.

Not in writing that I've seen... but based on the things that @Chris007 has said, and the way the BoT seems to be circling the wagons, it appears to very much be fact.

Is Galloway going through senior day ceremonies?  If he does and we’re to say something like ‘maybe if something changes soon I hope you don’t mind if I do this again next year’ it would carry some weight.

I would think it would be hard to get new assistant coaches if your a lame duck coach.

Not really, Woody has a lot of good friends that would love a highly paid job for a year.  It's not like he makes his assistants work the recruiting trail that hard.

There is no way that IU is going to hire a new basketball coach without BoT approval. The overall dollar values are too large, and the role is too central to the university.

Dolson has to work through the BoT, not around it.

But what BoT approval means is up for debate.

He can probably get Kenny Payne

Personally, I’d eliminate Louisville from that list.
