That’s not the end result though.   Woody came back to win B1G titles and National Titles.   Sure any coach can turn it around from a non tourney team to a tourney team.  The difference between a bubble team that makes it to a teams that don’t is very small.   Sure Woody can piece together a tourney team there are 36 at large chances to do that but can he piece together a B1G or National title team?   In my opinion he won’t ever sniff either one of those 

Woody will never win a championship at IU or anywhere. Thats not his thing.

He later said he knows of 2 now that will be staying but will let them announce. My guess is gallo and reneau. Because I don’t think Leal qualifies as best.

Regardless of who comes back, I hope woodson is willing to go smaller and get more athletic.  Ideally Galloway and Reneau would be spark plugs off the bench, with mgbako and four new starters.

Well one voice tells me it's Woodson just like they announced for next year. But that other voice tells me Dolson shocks the college basketball world and IU fans world appearing on "breaking news" on the BTN and possibly ESPN2 or ESPN News ... with an announcement of Woodson's dismissal and his plan moving forward if not announcing at the same time, IU's new coach ... because of all his work in "The Background".

We as IU fans will find out won't we?

I believe your struggle, as it is for many of us, can be summed up as:

 

Retaining Mike Woodson is..

Meh. I am pretty much over random BS from sourced anonymous people. They make money off of our fanbase. I’m not doing cartwheels because we managed to salvage players we shouldn’t even have been remotely worried about. Now if something super wild happens and Ware stays, he will have my attention. 
Edit: I also in no way mean people here. Specifically people profiting off the misery of our fanbase.

Your list of names shook those brain cells ... I think it was Moses Malone he attempted to recruit and said later he would have loved a player like Dawkins. I agree, those would have been big challenges in the classroom.

OT

Funniest Moses Malone story was when the Spirits were flying from Indy back to St. Louis and someone pointed out that, because of the time zone difference, they departed at 7:45 then landed at 7:30. Mose refused to get the plane saying wasn't going to get in any "time machine"

My guess is Mgbako coming back but maybe Trey

Bingo. I am kind of tired of Trilly. No one knows anything except for the AD and BOT.

Give me Dusty, Abernathy, Matt Graves, and LaVall Jordan as assistants and let’s see what happens. You have everything covered. I still feel a change will be made.

That’s a big NO from me on Jordan. I don’t want him anywhere near IU. Other than that I’m good with that.

That would be a giant deal if true. That kid is really close to being an alpha scorer and he stayed engaged all year even when things were tough for him. I’m a big fan.

Would non-seniors announce their decisions today?

Who knows. Rumor has it Trey met with Woody yesterday so I’m guessing it’s him. Woodson probably talked Leal into coming back too lol

[Hoosierfanyuh]

Rabby said something similar last night too but was vague. My guess was Trey MM and MR, good base if true.

Trey is still participating in senior day so we’ll see what happens when the season ends 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

A picture circulating on X (Twitter) shows Trey, Anthony, X and Walker and being thanked as seniors but just because they go thru senior day activities doesn't necessarily mean they're leaving.  Didn't Race go thru senior day and then return?

Ugh. With Liam and an alpha portal guard we might have had something :(

Assuming Gallo and Leal.

He said he is aware of 2 and that he is letting the kids announce.

Sometimes seniors go to senior day ceremony just to announce they are coming back.

Sounds like a positive to me.

Watching his HS games after Mom got IU involved, that was absolutely the comp I had. The handle and the movement, particularly laterally, obviously need to improve, and Melo is singular, but he can be really good.
