No. QB talked them into getting Woody a few years ago because he was an NBA coach. With their limited sports background, they think if you can coach the Knicks than you can coach IU. Then Fred made the switch aroo by hiring Archie with their money so now they're showing us by keeping Mike around for a 4th year and trying to give him everything he needs to be successful. 

They clearly don't realize the Knicks fired him after 3 years. 

Odd, the fired him in the time frame we should have.

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.

From what it sounds like the family that wanted to keep Woody here a 4th year and employs QB has agreed to put more money into our NIL efforts. They are going to give Woody every chance to get the players he wants in this portal. 
Happy would be proud

The amount of money about to get spent to maintain IU's mediocrity is going to be unreal.
That family my have money but they certainly don't seem to have a very good eye for coaching talent. Could of spent that money on getting a real coach.

I believe Woodson supporter, NGW7183, stated a few weeks ago that there will be a change to Woodson's coaching staff this off-season.  Who leaves- Hunter, Rosemond, or Walsh?  Rosemond is supposed to get us Bruce Thornton in the portal, so I think he stays.  I believe that Walsh was the lead recruiter on McNeeley so I would think Walsh is safe.  That would mean that Kenya better be trying for that Detroit Mercy job.

Why do a crazy thing like that? This is IU, bad coaches are guaranteed to be around too long. This is the way.

Basically this is a get even scheme to them. Wow.

So much for “building the bridge”. Getting a bunch of players out of the portal and failing to recruit is leaving zero program foundation for the next guy. Just plain lazy. It’s no shocker that the men’s basketball program has been middle of the pack for nearly 3 decades with decisions like this.

Amen man...Amen.. even if woodson fields a decent team next year.. what's after that in 2025/2026.  This isn't good.

It's sad and frustrating, but this is the risk when you hire a former player, especially one who is beloved by the old guard and rich friends. Getting rid of "one of your own" is always harder, and it's a big reason why I would not want a former player hired unless it was an absolute grand slam. Realistically, we are looking at one more year of Woodson then scrambling again. Hopefully, QB will have no more excuses when we miss the tourney again in '25.

I'd be surprised if he went to Duke after asking out of his LOI there last spring

Maybe.  But one thing Pearl said in one of his interviews was getting a couple portal players that they lost out on in HS.  Not burning bridges and keeping the lines of communications open type of stuff.  It's a whole new ball game.

Building the bridge was bs talk. He likely has every intention of staying another 5 years if he can.

Thing is we don't even know who those players will be.  At least in the NBA you know who's contracts are up and who you can target in free agency.  This is just a crapshoot.

If they had done that last year we probably would have landed Dalton Knecht, in the top 3 of the conference, and nobody would be talking about Woody losing his job.

No, because he was afraid of competing with Gallo and X.  :)  

But by all accounts they did throw money at him and he didn't even consider it.

"Crapshoot" seems, from the outside, to be the strategy all along. And Woodson isn't a great gambler.
