IU Scott

Good post but really those college coaches have not been a D1 coach more than 6 years so it is not like they have a huge advantage. I would think with you being part of an NBA team you would think that coaching in the NBA for 25 years would give you a lot more experience than in college. Also Musselman started out in the NBA and he has proven you can go from that level and still do well at the college level. Musselman record in the pros was not better than what Woodson was either.

Landon was after his accident

The only one against it was Ryan Phillips. Jerrod Morris had written an article about Woodson before the hire about the 5 good things he would bring to IU.

Back in the day the seats across the floor of the bench were all filled and had a lot of places for people in wheel chairs

Eric Gordon Sr was on a podcast last night with Jim Coyle and other older IU players. Gordon said that the April events coaches probably won't be able to attend but the ones in July they look to be able to attend those.

I guess UL or IU would be the closes schools to him if he wants to stay at the power 5 level

I guess I don't know that one

Did you see during the big East tournament where a security guard did not know who Patrick Ewing was. He was coming into Madison Square Garden where he played in the NBA but didn't have his credentials and the security guard did not know him.

Good stretch 4

I posted this one about a half hour earlier

?

I am sure just normal students in school in NC probably doesn't know who Mike Woodson is but that is not what is important.

I guess I will try to explain why I think having an IU guy is the right thing at this time. First I am not saying this to condemn anyone or blame anyone who might not understand this. I know people who did not grow up in Indiana or is a lot younger than did not see what IU meant when RMK was the coach. I grew up in in Central Indiana in the late 70's and 80's which meant watching IU on our local channel 4 in Indy. Since it was a locally owned TV station it produced its own game which meant IU announcers. Those announcers were former players in John Laskowski and later Ted Kitchell. Back then they played games on Thursday night and Saturday and it was easy to keep up with the schedule. You know when you had to find your 2 and half hours time to watch the game plus the pre game show with RMK. RMK would have about a 12 minute segment to explain what the team was going to do against this opponent and it taught IU fans the game. Not to mention Martha the Mop Lady and the Farm Bureau Insurance commercials. All of this made IU like your own family and would do anything to support that family I know when you are younger that everything seems more important everything was such a big deal. This is what IU basketball felt like to me and that I felt part of it. You also always saw former players at the game and they were welcome back anytime they wanted. After RMK was let go I was all for letting someone else come in and try to bring IU back to where it was use to be. We brought in outside guys who had proven to win at the level they were at. They made deep runs in the tournament so they seemed like great hires but there was always something missing to them. We have done this for 20 years and it never totally panned out and here we are 20 years later trying to get IU back to what we use to be. Everyone say they want IU back to what it once was and to me it is time to bring back a guy who was part of what IU use to be.

Listen to JMV yesterday and Dolson on there and said eh talked to a lot of the top people of the NBA about different coaches on his list. He said everyone of those top NBA guys said Mike Woodson is one of the top basketball minds they have came across.

Sister Jean is 100 and got her team to the sweet 16

Watched that game a few months ago and it was a great game. Pretty impressive for Mike to come off a back surgery and come back to be the big ten player of the year. It is hard to find games from the 79-80 season and if you do the quality of the film is not great.

I guess I would look at Thad as more of a general manager

I doubt it had to do with the University as much as the fishbowl that is IU basketball. Also coaches today can win and make big money anywhere so what is the insensitive to keep moving their families

Guarantee they will be in every coaches meeting and film session and helping with game plans. Thad will probably be working on the schedule with Dolson. I would think he will help get visits set up and be in contact with High school and AAU coaches to set up meetings for the coach. He just can't go on the road to watch players in AAAU or high school.

I gave you an example with the all time best college football coach of all time doing it. Alabama has brought in a lot of former HC as consultants which is made up positions. The more basketball minds you have to your disposal the better it is. In the NBA they have like 5 to 6 coaches who are on the bench every game.

Only been here a year and brought in Parker Stewart

Because it is a new position they just created for Thad and probably using some of that money from the donor to create this position. It allows them to have Thad on the staff without taking one of the assistant positions. I have no idea why anyone would be freaking out over something like this because it is a good thing. Also neither would be involved with recruiting at all or be going on the road to recruit.

His job is just about men's basketball
