Mike Woodson to return as coach next season

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,647]

They might as well cancel Hoosier Hysteria.  That would be empty

No, they will land some bigger fish in the portal. The IU media hype machine will go into effect. Many people will forget Woody gets circles coached around him. Only to play a few games and everything will look so familiar. But the hype machine will be enough to garner some local preseason hype while the college basketball community laughs at us.

Woodson couldn't recruit enough players in the portal to fill the team last season how is he supposed to go out and find twelve more to fill the roster next season

Honest question:

Does anyone know of a time when it had to be announced a coach was returning next season and that coach actually worked out and didn't eventually end up getting fired?

Have we announced this to make it more believable when he announces his voluntary retirement on senior night? 

Follow along for more on IUBB QAnon... I mean Trilly's discord. Lol

This is it man. I haven’t been around as much the last couple years but it’s been great getting to know some of you all. I can’t do it anymore.

B1G fan bases when the news started to leak ...

It’s very hard to support a program whose biggest priority isn’t winning. It feels like an abusive relationship at this point. 
That “Bruce Pearl wanted to come but Quinn refused” news is going to hit like a ton of bricks. 

I totally understand where you are coming from. I'm not happy either, but I told my kids the same thing my dad told me. I refuse to be hypocritical. I have faith, although it is waning, that the program will be turned around. Maybe it is all the Cub fan genes I got from my mom and her side of the family, I'm more tolerant. I am a Cardinal fan though.

I can't help but to wonder about the timing of this.  It seems weird to announce that he'll be back with games left in the season.

The thought that keeps hitting me is....this is to reassure a recruit's mind.  Or a player deciding to return or not's mind.  My guess is there will not be a mass exodus with the announcement of Woody's return.  My guess is Dolson talked to the team and maybe a recruit (or transfer candidate) or two and thinks there's a possibility of a good team next year if we reassure them that Woody will return.

Maybe Mgbako/Reneau/McNeely said they'll come back if Woody stays?  I'd have to think this is why there was an announcement today.  I can't come up with another reason, maybe you chuckleheads know of one?  Timing is just strange.

Now with the announcement of Woody returning, it'll be followed up with players announcing they're going to return to "win for Woody".  Don't fall for it!  The hype train just started it's engine.

I have no excitement about next year.  We already know that we aren't going to compete for the Big Ten title or make the Sweet 16.  Now I know how Pittsburgh Pirates fans feel.

I don’t know why anyone is surprised. Been saying this since day 1 of this discussion, Woodson, brought in as the former player / the guy to right the ship after the failed Miller fiasco, wouldn’t be fired after 3 years 2 of which were tournament appearances— I mean that should have been clear.

He absolutely should be gone after next season and I’m as ticked off as anyone about what this does to recruiting and the program, but this was always a done deal

A done deal because the decision makers are a clown show when it comes to IUBB.

Someone wake me up when IU basketball is worth a frick again. 

At least I can watch my sons Gators, Tod Golden has them trending.

That's going to be a very long nap, the administration just killed the program with this stupid decision.

Well they have saved me a bunch of money with this decision to keep CMW, no more tickets, traveling to games or apparel until they get serious as a program.

You (and the rest of us) will be waiting forever for that to happen.

What happened to the meeting on Tuesday?  Are these "sources" legit or is it some BS misdirection play?  

They will be discussing a raise and extension, probably have a cigar or two. And Mike Woodson wants the buyout payment terms updated.

Exactly. Positivity my friend. The bank account will be happier. 

I use a percentage of my paycheck for trips to Bloomington and tickets/ apparel. With tonight's news, that $$ next year will be on tickets to see Leo Messi when Inter comes to Columbus. More value than sinking into the dysfunction. 

We should not support this garbage. Speak with the wallet.
