Exactly what I thought.

Fire Mike Woodson!

His heart was in the right place to come back, but his brain was yelling, "NO!!".  Would love to hear or read the whole story instead of getting pieces from different places.

In fairness, Hill wasn't a 'yes man'; that'd require being conscious.

Really no surprise here. Woodson was definitely the poster child for ineptness and laziness and always surrounded himself with "yes" men. He had no stomach for being challenged as "the smartest man in the room". And he was really good at smoking cigars, drinking wine and cashing checks.

For old times sake…

Is Woodson listening to a motivational recording? "Gotta get over the hump. Can't shoot it for them. Gotta get over the hump".

If so, he should get a refund. Clearly didn't work.

I still find it incredulous that Fife and all his infinite wisdom is still selling insurance to this day. Those "yes man" on staff all landed on their feet and at P2 institutions no less in a matter of months.

 Every day is a good day to #FireMikeWoodson.

I am a Fife "fan" but at this point, what is the point (hence why he deleted his post too). Woody's obvious flaws caught up with him. He made out with a nice payday though. It is interesting to hear the stories from both sides. Woody's issues were fairly obvious, but Fife seems to have done some weird stuff too.

He's not a yes man and won't embrace NIL.  He did well with Izzo for a long time.

Respected Fife as a player. The way he's acted since being fired isn't a good look. Also, probably why he isn't coaching anymore.

Perhaps Fife is out of coaching partially because of how he has acted since being let go. Perhaps his brain was broken by what he saw behind closed doors and he's lashing out because he has been semi traumatized ever since. Lol

The simple fact is, with very few notable exceptions (TJD, JHS, Ware), everything that Mike Woodson touched as IUBB HC turned to ****.

Thankfully he is no longer here and our basketball program is better off because of that. I'm happy to look ahead and not behind,  so we can start acting like the last 4 years never happened... except for the occasional joke about the fellas lounge, golfing, and ordering pizza instead of handling responsibilities. LoL

We finally got over the hump man.

He retired April 1st, and unretired on May 12th when he joined the Kings (ha!).

I think it has been said before, but it will more than likely appear that Woodson was the hump to get over. LOL
