They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

[JSHoosier]

Now for the ultimate kick in the balls. Watch Galloway transfer to Purdue and they go on to win a title while Woodson gets year 5 after missing the tournament.

Well...what an absolute crappy 24 hours it's been. I think the combination of the two events has been the breaking point for me. I'm normally not a "email the board" kinda guy but I felt the need to tonight. Is it going to matter? No. But I am more than happy to let them know how pissed off I am and contribute to their emails flooding up with other pissed off fans. 

I'm always going to be an IU fan. I just am losing the passion that I've had over the last few years. I won't be going to games. I won't be buying merchandise. I probably won't be watching many games either. It's so sad. They're taking advantage of this great fan base (By the way what a crock of **** that the fan base is getting blamed for this.) BTown Banners is awesome and I plan on coming on to complain with most of you. I hope there is a day when Indiana is back on top. I'm sure afraid we are headed for another 2008-2011 type of seasons.

Jerod came on late and said "I understand why players don't want to come play for Indiana".  Which is brutally honest and a just a huge indictment on this current administration. 

Jerod is a good friend and college roommate of mine, I know him extremely well as he was in my wedding party. Great dude and loves IU. He is also very honest but careful in his wording but is truly passionate about IU Basketball.

Start the chants

Stay tuned.

If anyone wants to PM to buy my girlfriend and me a beer at the game, I can assure you video evidence will be provided of us starting the chants.

We have a very passionate fan base. Almost as bad as Kentucky. Now for 20 plus years we have been sold garbage and mediocrity by an insane administration that lives in a separate universe from their fans. They don't care about basketball or winning in a basketball loving state. 

 

So yeah we have become toxic and they share a lot of blame in that. Just think if UK had an administration like ours? Their fans would raided their offices with pitch forks and torches ! 

It's not fair to put it all on us. 

They would've been run out of town with pitchforks and torches, then their office would've been burned with said torches.

With zero incoming freshman, Woody won’t have to worry about us being young next year. 

He'll just say they're not used to playing together and he has to get them over the hump.

Liam was an all in on Indiana. The constant tweets, social media posts. 
 

Then, his friends go elsewhere. Then he asks for his release from his commitment the day after Indiana leaked Woodson would be back. This is not good folks. This is a terrible look. I don’t see Woodson and staff recovering from this whatsoever. 
 

If I’m on the Indiana staff, I’m updating my resume and jumping ship as soon as the season is over.

We are not getting that lucky

Is it possible if with this news and if we have basically our whole team leave the administration does a 180?

ahh CMW and his cigar celebrations post game with his "dudes" regardless of wins or losses, golf, and his laziness when in comes to the time required to recruit not just to get a kid to commit but post commitment as well has hurt IU more than Archie did during his 4 years.  

 

This decommitment of Liam is on CMW 100%.  Offense sucks, calling out players and not taking accountability, and now we sit here with 0 recruits for 2024 when its due or die for woody AND 2025 isn't necessarily going too hot from a recruiting perspective.  Go ahead and give the guy an advancement and get him out.  More damage will be done to the program with him returning for a single year then restarting now.

Maybe Dane Fife knew something within this group on staff well before us casual fans did lol It sure seems like it.

[IUFAN1976]

This from the below article from the Daily Hoosier:

“

There is nothing that stands in the way of success when it comes to recruiting if you are Indiana right now.

Yet here they sit, with no class of 2024 commits.  Something is clearly broken.”

Well that something is Mike Woodson, his staff and the Administration.

Let's be honest. The whole city of Lexington would be burnt to the ground form the massive couch bonfire.

I admit I've bashed him every time someone would bring him up and ask why he was fired. Now I'm like he was wrong. But he knew absolutely knew . It was a crap show .

More like the admin will do a 360

Woke up to this thought - open, X and AW gone.   Gunn and Banks assuredly transfer.  Ware  guaranteed to go pro.  Sounding more and more like Malik and Galloway transfer.  Now rumors of Cupps leaving are surfacing.  MM a toss up maybe between leaving to be a lifetime G league or overseas entry.  Sparks all but has to stay so why would Leal stay at that point?  My $ is on Newton going closer to home.  Injuries and not being able to do what you left home for are difficult on a young man’s mind.  
 

We seriously could need to fill 10,11, even 12 spots.  It’s going to be 2008 all over again.  Maybe we’ll get 3-5 actual D-1 players who are desperate for more playing time and a check.  The rest?  IU will be paying kids who are walk on, $500,000 to come be a Hoosier for a year or two.

Good morning fellow toxic fans.  Hate to tell you, but no way Pearl comes to IU given this situation, dream job or not. It’s Sampson part 2.  Why would any sane coach come to this chit show.  Need to lock in Dusty May ASAP, before he figures out what a good program looks like.  Woodson has to go.

If someone started a business selling “Team FireWood” shirts, they would make a killing.

Good morning to everyone except Quinn Buckner

Why are we starting over with an almost completely new roster(now with 0 2024 commits) with a 66 year old coach?  I have yet to receive a decent answer to this question.  It defies all logic. 

Because Archie got 4 years..I know dumb reason
