  1. My son graduated from IU with a major from the Kelly School of Business. He probably would say that IU made a poor investment for Woodson's service, and the return on his $4 million salary is disappointing when compared to other well known coaches in DI. The following all were paid between $1.0 million to $1.8 million LESS than Woodson this year: Chris Collins Mark Few Hubert Davis TJ Otzelberger Greg McDermott Shaka Smart

  2. Also-- if our roster decisions weren't fireable enough offenses to begin with, if getting our asses kicked REGULARLY isn't fireable enough, if the lack of responsibility taken isn't fireable enough to begin with.. How many millions of dollars did our basketball staff waste recruiting the 2024 class to get exactly ZERO of them?

  5. "As we sit here today, it appears Woodson is in over his head at Indiana. Before arriving, he had been an NBA head coach or assistant since 1996 and had never coached college basketball at any level. Let's be real, he got the job because he was an All-American under Bob Knight and is incredibly close with some very important people at Indiana. His resume was in no way worthy of the gig. It shouldn't be surprising that Woodson has yet to adjust his style to fit the college game. And, based on his quotes and what sources inside the program tell me, he doesn't plan to alter much. He wholeheartedly believes in his system and that he just needs to get his players to run it better. That should terrify Indiana fans."

  6. Woodson not being fired the day after he walked out on his team after getting absolutely embarrassed by a group of average basketball players and Fred Hoiberg is absolutely beyond me. Nebraska laughed us off the floor. Dudes throwing up hand signs, literally flexing on us.. If Friday night wasn't embarrassing for our admin, nothing will be.

  7. You do realize that out of two of the godfathers of modern sports analytics, one is an IU alum and lived in B-town quite a while after graduating (Jeff Sagarin), and the other was an IU professor for 25+ years (Wayne Winston)?

  9. Tweet from Hoosier in Texas Someone needs to fund a study on college message board members having a compulsive need to be program insiders. This is hilarious fan fiction from somebody who clearly relishes in people thinking he knows things. #iubb

  10. Oh, I agree. I wasn't trying to take a shot at you. My point is what's "good" in our minds, is probably light years different of what's "good" in Woodson's mind since he thinks he doing a good to great job already.

  11. Perhaps that was the problem. CMW was so focused on advanced scouting of the portal that there wasn't any time to teach fundamentals like dribbling, blocking out, protecting the basketball, defensive rotations, ball movement, transition defense, free throw shooting, passing out of double and triple teams, taking short threes instead of long twos, moving feet and not reaching or committing silly fouls 60' from the basket**takes a breath**, understanding screens and how to get around them, communicating, properly executing entry passes...

  13. Just finished listening to Brian Evans on JMV. Bravo, Brian! That needs to be sent to the Board of Trustees and played at their next meeting. Aside from the players’ speeches on senior day-I have my own slightly different thoughts, regarding literally everything else, I could not agree more. Thank you, Brian, for giving us “true fans” a voice and speaking it loudly! This bball program & university are being made a mockery by CMW & the boosters ponying up the $$ to buy us a team for next year. This is not the way it should be done, this is not the way to build a strong program, and I am still stunned and clueless as to how grown adult men and women are going along with this. As Brian articulated his thoughts, the low points of the season as the season went along, I could feel myself getting more livid. The true fans comment, the hubris (“I’m the coach..”), the leaving the game up in Minneapolis, those last 3 low points are squarely on one person: Mike Woodson. Done.

  18. Not sure where to post this, but over on TDH there is a link to an interview with Brian Evans on the current state of IU BBall. You may, or may not agree with him, but you gotta give the guy credit for speaking his mind as an IU Big 10 player of the year in his time.

  21. I’m hoping he sees how far Auburn goes and what Woodson does in the portal. If Woodson doesn’t do anything by time Auburn is out then he gets rid of Woodson and that’s why he hasn’t came out and said anything yet

  25. It's not ridiculous. Dolson is just looking for a reason to make a move. He wants to move on and that hasn't changed. That said it's very unlikely anything happens but if things get out of hand then all bets are off.

  36. The AD is just the puppet for the BOT and the BOT are guided by those who have influence over the funding. We all know it wasn't the AD at the time that hired Sampson, but the AD took the fall for Sampson's transgressions. The way I read what is going on, even if Dolson is ready, those who have influence over the funding are not ready to let him, or the BOT, fire Woodson yet.

  37. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians. If it’s time to move on then move. Delaying when the picture is clear in this case is a continuation of failure. He has zero high school kids coming in. None. When do you all remember that as being a thing. This isn't the NBA, Mr Woodson. The portal is not the NBA draft as you’re treating it to be.

  42. Neither one of those things are facts, chief. I’ve already explained the first. As to the second, there are currently G League teams in Des Moines, Birmingham, Austin, Mexico City, Wilmington, Greensboro, Southaven, and that’s just off the top of my head. None of those are near NBA cities. So you have no idea what you’re talking about on either point.

  44. I noticed you laughed at my response to this comment. Scott, the Pacers were pushing for a downtown arena in Fort Wayne for several years. The distance between Fort Wayne and Indianapolis clearly wasn’t a problem while they were pushing for an arena here. It only became a problem when FW wouldn’t build them an arena. Surely you can understand that, right?

  46. No, they did it because they didn’t get their government subsidized arena in Fort Wayne. Everybody involved with the team in Fort Wayne knows that.
