I understand the season seems like a total disaster and there's no chance we can last another year with woody but its not like this team was picked to finish at the top of the big ten preseason. We were picked to finish 6th in the league this year, everyone understood how much we lost from last year (around 80% of our scoring and 4/5 starters) and this might be a down year. And we are tied for 6th in the big ten right now. I have a hard time with all the negativity that this fanbase brings to coaches in such a short period of time. We go to 2 NCAA tournaments out of 3 years, after not sniffing it for 6 years, and everyone wants a change after 3 years? I just don't understand. What coach is going to want to come in here and take this job? The fans turn so fast that I wouldn't put my family through this if I were a potential coach. I mean just last year everyone was praising Woody and how much of a closer he was on recruits, and now less than a year later, we are begging for his head to be put on a spike. Make it make sense to me please.

Simple.  It's not this team so much.  It's not this year's record so much.  Every team has a down year every now and then.  But it is an epic failure to build a base to work from.  He's potentially losing 4-7 players after the season (graduation, NBA, transfers).  He should have several 2024 HS signees lined up.  He has one.  He should have a bunch of 2025 stacked up.  You can't build a program for the long term by going to the portal for 4 or more players every year.  And even if you could, he hasn't been good at going deep in the portal.

It seems like every thread ends up being about how we suck....whether or not we actually won the game or not.

Might as well hand in my IU degree. IUFAN1976 doesn’t think I’m a true fan. 

Do you disagree that it was better for IUFB to go 3-9 this season instead of, say, 5-7? Because 5-7 likely gets you another season of Tom Allen. I absolutely was rooting for them to lose the last three games. The bottom had to fall out to get Scott Dolson to raise the $20 million buyout. 

It’s not just about short-term gratification as a fan. Sometimes you win the battle but lose the war. 

Anyway, on the way to give back my degree right now. Catch ya later! 

Been a fan for 50 years and never once hope we lose a game.

If I have to explain it, you wouldn't understand it.

All,

Refrain from turning any thread into questioning anyone’s fandom or love for IU.

Done? Done.

Then I have no idea why you would take offense at my observation by asking if I have a point.  My reply had nothing to do with anything you had posted…matterof fact it didn’t point toward any poster.
