Yep. We’d have a couple more Big Ten conference titles. A couple more Sweet Sixteens. 
 
To succeed at Indiana you have to be able to quickly connect with folks. Donors and recruits. Build long term relationships with big donors and local coaching and work your @$$ off.  
 
Crean Struggled with the long term relationships.  Archie struggled with all relationships short and long term.  And Woodson isn’t doing any of them. 
So 6 million dollars is not the answer? The boosters sure thought it was

Well,this sucks.

 I can count on one hand how many games I've missed in the last fifty years but I have little interest in watching this train wreck any longer.Hell,I even changed my username because I was embarrassed to be linked with Woodson,a player I admired like no other.. I've never seen a coaching staff so unprepared or uninspired. Wish there was such a thing as good ice for fishing in Southern Indiana because I need a new hobby.

Try spelunking.  Can't pick up the basketball games on radio down there.  

Long time ago, went in Blue Springs Cave with some experienced cavers.  It's a two-level cave.  Had deflated inner tube slung over my shoulder.  Walked on the upper level...which is dry.  Got to a tube and crawled...pushing my helmet ahead.  Got stuck because the tube got hung up.  Pushed backward.  Pushed everything ahead of me the 2nd time.  Got to the underground river.  Inflated the tubes.  Floated to Coglazers (?) sink.  Climbed out.  Now it is the entrance to the cave/boat tour.  Did some vertical caving too.  Not fun for me.

Makes me sick seeing Kentucky playing flat out good basketball and IU is at a Junior High level at best.
Can anybody think of a reason why we look like dried up dog caca? 
Anybody?
Certainly isn't a lack of money
Highest nil in the big ten.

They hired a young energetic coach with collegiate experience.  Pope has an identity and plan for not only his teams but the program. I watched one of his locker room post game speeches recently, and he seems like a guy a lot of kids are going to want to play for.

We are at a point where players have come and gone, and the same issues persist, year in, year out...at some point the only place to point the finger is squarely at the common denominator... 

We hired an IU Legend, with no collegiate coaching experience, who was towards the end of his career and working as a bench assistant in the NBA. Take IU Basketball off Mike Woodson's resume and he's not even a thought during our last search. No collegiate program with aspirations to win conference and national championships would have made this hire. And that's just the truth. But its Indiana, it's Indiana...
