Because it's IU Indy, it's definitely going to be under the radar even locally, but the idea of a guy abusing his players should not be taken lightly.

Based on my observations with the team, Corsaro seemed to play favorites, often refusing to put players in from the bench and making his starters play 30+ minutes.  And that's during the games.

Looks like students are staging a walkout over the firing, but the semester ended just 2 days ago and commencement is on Thursday.  The article also mentioned Woodson as a possibility, but I really don't see that happening.

1.  It really illustrates the problem with using social media as a way to cover news, as some people can't discern legit grievances with trolling.  Especially as you pointed out, the semester is over and frankly, sports are an afterthought at IU Indy as it is.

2.  I think the Woodson reference is because they either confused IU Indy with Indiana, or they think Indiana University can just re-hire the coach for one of their satellite schools, especially as Woodson has made it clear he's going back to the NBA.

Yeah, I think he's been set free already.

I was thinking that with the Woodson reference.  I don't think he would go to a Horizon league school.
