I did not hear it from Leal or Galloway. So you can change whatever you need to in my post but calling it misinformation is a little much. This place is getting weird

I'm sorry Chris.  I really do like you and we've had some good pm's in the past.  But you throw a number out there and a lot of posters are going to take that at face value and likely pass it on to others and it snowballs.  IMO throwing a specific number out without knowing it to be a fact is misinformation when others will accept it as fact.

Hey, if it's on the internet then it must be true.  :)

Just that it's Woodson. If it's not about him, then he's not interested. And being at the women's tournament game puts an exclamation point on how much more successful Teri Moren and the woman's program is than his own. His being there would have been a classy move, but again, it wasn't about him.

With as sensitive the culture is at these college institutions nowadays it leaves me completely flabbergasted that something like this can be going on. Not only is it not classy as you say, it’s completely childish and something you would expect from a 10-year-old

Ware officially in the draft.

Wishful thinking....butttttt, his Instagram post doesn't specifically say he is entering the draft...just thanks everyone at IU, including THE GREATEST FANS IN THE WORLD and has a nice highlight reel...maybe he will still come back?!?!?! Maybe?!?!

All kidding aside, Happy for him, glad we got him for a year. Really hope he lands with a team that will have patience and let him continue to develop. His skill set is special, and it was a joy to watch him play.

Tbf, Oat’s team plays no defense, so I’m not even sure how his guys would get two fouls to begin with.

Oats' team played very little defense this year.  Last year, Alabama was ranked 3rd in adjusted defense in Kenpom.

You know I'm an optimist, so I'll say this:

This board is at it's best when people of different perspectives, weird-nesses, levels of knowledge, and perspectives push and pull against each other. 

It's not always pleasant or comfortable, but when that happens it helps to prevent group-think and fleshes out the entire story and possible outcomes.

Well since it has been announced that he is returning the sunshine pumping has been doubled or tripled by certain members. In each thread, we're told not to turn it into a discussion about firing Mike Woodson. Or there is already that thread. Now in the fire Mike Woodson thread the same thing is happening. So I guess we need to take a hint to either get in line or leave. I was just reading the other night how this place is so great because many different posters have different views and everyone can express it. But that seems to be changing some. JMO

Yeah, I get it. I can stop posting what I hear. I don't want to spread misinformation. I understand what you guys are saying.

So let me get this straight, if we are voicing our opinion about something we now have to have proof?  That’s BS!  This is a message board and we should be able state our opinions and speculate all we want.  That sounds like MW non-true fan stuff if you ask me.

Don’t let him scare you off, keep posting what information or opinions you do have.

I don't think Woodson is very supportive of the women's team...and don't think he and Moren get along very well

I'm gonna throw 4 darts here and see how many times I can hit a bullseye.... All are JMHO.

#1.... he's tired of getting booed at Assembly Hall.

#2.... possibly jealous of their success.

#3.... (stretch), she's a Purdue grad.

#4.... he doesn't like to share facilities.

Did I hit any bullseyes? If so, how many? lol

At some point, you have to weigh if it's worth it or not. No one gets attacked more on here than me. I will still post and not going anywhere just will try not to share as much, don't want to spread misinformation because everyone believes everything I say like it's the gospel. Just surprised at the people who come at me anymore. It's changed in the last few months but maybe their just doing what their told.

I'd sign on to #1, #2, and #4.

Possible that he also doesn't think the women's game is worth a sh!t.

I for one want all the Woodson gossip we can get, regardless of how true it is.

Ha!  I heard he clubbed the seal first to tenderize it.

The more "misinformation" the better.

Think Woody comments at all? Or does he just keep his head in the sand?

I don’t think anyone taking something as gospel is your fault, it’s theirs. I’m sure I’m not alone in saying I appreciate every tidbit we get from you or others. It’s my own decision as the reader to make a choice whether it seems plausible. It would appear Woody has successfully divided the fan base. Mark me not a true fan I guess. Hope you stick around.
