I've been shaking my head for going on FOUR YEARS now. The basketball program is a train wreck, and Woodson, the Parasite in Chief, has been leading the parade. Clueless. Embarrassing. Lazy. Incompetent.

Now, do you want to know what I really think?

Only 4 years?

Well, just have a look at my posting history on the subject.

Basically, he's an incompetent parasite.

• He played here 40+ years ago.
• He had a mediocre career as an NBA coach (lifetime winning percentage of .463).
• He had ZERO coaching experience as a college coach.
• Would never have been considered for the head coaching job except that he played here 40+ years ago and was best friends with the Board of Trustees chair (W Quinn Buckner).
• He could not land a coaching job anywhere in the NBA or college, but somehow got $4M/year from Buckner to coach at Indiana.
• He had demonstrated ZERO interest in recruiting high school athletes (building relationships with HS coaches, AAU coaches, HS athletes and their parents, watching HS or AAU games without being told to do so by the AD, etc)
• He relies on the deep pockets of donors to bail out his non-existent recruiting with NIL and portal players.
• Even after getting the talent, he demonstrates an inability to coach.
• He refuses to coach and develop basic skills (blocking out, rebounding, modern offensive schemes, utilizing the 3-point shot, "hockey line changes" substitution patterns).
• When he inevitably loses, he has a laundry list of canned excuses (the hump, gotta work harder, still getting to know one another, it's not my job to get them shots, Mike Woodson doesn't miss those shots).
• Spews hubris and egotistical attitude towards fans ("true fans", "I"m not going anywhere", refusing to answer questions from the media "not going to sit here and answer questions from you or the fans").
• Has cast off every help that the university has given him to try to offset the lack of college coaching experience (Matta, Fife).
• Surrounds himself with a staff of "yes" men who appear to be afraid to go against his self-realized omniscience (Matta, Fife, Howard).
• Demonstrates pure distain for the other athletic programs at Indiana university (refuses to speak to other teams when invited by the coaches; thinks that Teri Moran and the women's basketball team should not be using the same facilities as the men's team).
• Blew off at least one meeting with a recruit do sit in his "boys club" with is buddies to drink wine, smoke cigars, eat pizza and play card.
• And probably another 50-100 reasons.

He just needs to go and we need to be rid of this arrogant, incompetent never-was as our head coach.

That about sums up, and blames the “non true fans”!  I couldn’t have said it better myself!  Great post!
