  1. Coach Mike Woodson Megathread

    The Buckner / Woodson conspiracy rumors are getting out of control.  

    Not denying they are friends, nor that Buckner wasn't instrumental in Woodson's hire.  But, putting his friend through this kind of abuse and going all Hiroshima on IU's basketball program make no sense.  

    There are people out there spreading things as fact that are simply rumors, many of them blown way out of proportion.

    Other people are spreading opinions as facts.  I think Pearl would be a better coach than Woodson, but that's still just my opinion, and I shouldn't be pouring gas and tossing a match on it by taking to Twitter and embellishing every little thing to push my agenda as factual instead of opinion.

     

    Getting that bad?  I don’t spend much time on Twitter or X or whatever it’s called these days.  Hell, I don’t get much time to visit the boards much anymore.

    People bringing up red flags….is there such a thing anymore?  It’s kind of a tired and used up term.  Coaches can more or less pay players and make all the phone calls they want anymore.  Just bring someone in who can win consistently and win big.  The only difficult part is finding the person who can do that and do that at Indiana.

    We play Purdue next week, is anyone looking forward to that game? Genuinely would love to hear from even one person who is excited for it. 

    Nope.  About as excited for that as one would be for a root canal or watching paint dry.

    IMO, it’s time to move on but if Dolson wants to give Woodson another year, he needs to be aware that if it fails, he goes down with the ship.  As far as candidates go, my list would include three names and three names only.  Chris Beard, Bruce Pearl or Scott Drew.  No more projects or IU connections.  Anything less than one of them and it’s a failure and more of the same.

    Jay Wright has no desire to coach again

    I know.  He’s just an example.  Need someone proven of a high caliber.  Don’t know who you get to come here tbh that’s proven.  I think we’ve had enough projects (Archie, Woodson, Davis and Crean to a lesser extent) that I wouldn’t feel comfortable going that route again imho.

    At this point, I’m ok with him gracefully getting canned.  I don’t know who you bring in though.  Not completely sold on Dusty May.  Lewis, Fife, Alford….not sold on another “IU guy” being able to get the job done.  Stevens and Donovan is never happening.  Unless you offer the world to Jay Wright, Scott Drew, Bruce Pearl or someone of that proven caliber, not sold on the ability to bring in anyone any better

    The officials fault.  Moral victory regardless.  Can add it to the countless moral victories and do-good moments of the last decade or two.  A new slogan perhaps, “Moral victories live in Indiana”.  Fits in with “They sure do play hard” and “We do things the right way”.
