With the draw they got and the officiating. Looks handpicked and planned.

Just stop.

Oh man. UW got some problems. 

You hate to see that. 

It’s not problems.  It’s the changing of “recruiting” and not how you are developed but how much money you can make.  You are going to see a lot of kids go for the money and screw it up because you are essentially going to a charlatan who can’t develop anyone.

With you on that....but even i shiver a little thinking about Cal at IU.

It’s the Kentucky stuff.  I just want to get talent and win.  Kentucky fans are insane for wanting to get rid of him.

You would need to hire additional staff to follow along behind him just to clean up the slime.

College athletics is there and he is the best at it.  IUs holier than thou attitude really needs to stop.

Ok but wasn't it late and all the candidates were taken already, leaving Michigan in a bind? 

I guess it doesn't matter. They got their guy this time. 

It was late like middle of May.

One less to worry about 

 Why was this even a concern? Nobody was going to take him with him barely playing in two years.

 IU is becoming a portal program and I don't like it. Woodson didn't create the mess IU is in, but he's not the answer.

How didn’t he create the mess?  He did.  Zero recruits.  Last year he recruited the players.

He just got tossed. He’s done. Will retire tomorrow 

One could hope

Serious question, what makes Payne an idiot? Because he sucked at Louisville? 

He’s a bag man.  All he’s ever been.  He won 12 games as a head coach.  Stumped by a zone and out coached the majority of the season.

LET’S GOOOOOO PAYNE/WOODSON DUP HERE WE GO

 

Welp I guess we will have an additional idiot on the bench.

I was thinking the same.  They got some cash to stay another year for sure.

Dakich is saying each was paid over $100,000.

This has been happening more and more everyday…except to Purdue. Literally people that grew up within an hour of Bloomington and have lost their kids to Purdue.

Let’s be real here.  If you had the option of sending your kid to Purdue or IU if they were good enough for D1, where would you send them?  I would send mine to Painter every time over Woodson.  That’s how far we have fallen. Even IU grads like me would.

Someone said it the other day. does Woodson bring in Kenny Payne?

If he does he should be fired on the spot.  Dumb as rocks and we have enough of dumb as rocks assistants on the bench already.

Oh, I’d trade places in a second, but I think they’re closer to the team that beat IU by 4 than a title contender 

They aren’t a title contender.  Offense isn’t good enough.

here is what money buys...good thing we have Mike Woodson putting on a Master Class on how to recruit. oh wait..

Calipari as much as people hate him does amazing putting new kids in there all the time.  He develops and gets them shots.

They are 10-8 in conference. Clearly not one of the top teams in the country 

Still a top 20 team.  Those down years for Kansas sure is rough.

With Woody, I totally get why he is getting a 4th year (not considering the rumors and stories), even though I feel like the writing is on the wall that this won’t work out.

In a perfect world, Woodson turns everything around (coaching, recruiting, attitude, off-court stuff) and restores us back as a blue-blood. Unfortunately, don’t see it happening. If it does end this year or next, regardless of how bad it gets, I hope we can still love and support Woodson the player. 

He should be booed every time he sets foot in AH just due to forcing this hire.  He was part of it.

I want guys who come from winning programs and know what it takes to win. You look at our guys from the portal mist came from losing programs. I think Walker is the only one who came from a winning program.

And he barely played.  There was a lot of WTF moments last years portal.

It's their spacing that I love. Shooters all across the floor, with an All American in the post. I'll miss Scalia's effortless stroke after this season, but with Garzon, Parrish, and CMM that spacing should still be there.

Spacing and no standing.  They are always moving on drives, screens, motion, etc.  1 big and four shooters on the outside.  Who would of known.

Women’s team is a fun team to watch with all their movement.  Moren and the women’s team deserve the bag.

Agreed, but if you aren’t, someone else is….

It’s had to be done since the beginning of time. You should be working them because someone else will.  Also you should be watching their development and creating a relationship with them before they get here.  I keep in touch with all my former employees.  If you’re professional about it you will want what is best for them and their growth.

Where did I say he was a good coach and I want him gone. It just seems like people think if you give him credit that you are backing him as the coach.

I really struggle at where the credit is due? He was given the job from a friend and the dam has broken and it turns out he really sucks at his job.  

1 minute ago, IU Scott said:

Most want Woodson gone but why can't people give him credit when it is warranted. I have criticized his coaching a lot because it is warranted but I can give him some credit as well.

He is an OK coach.  However his stats track bad.  His offense has been mediocre to bad two out of 3 years.  His defense has gotten worse every year.  Should have probably thanked Miller or Fife for that.  He has always been a bad decision and if what is coming out as true, he is a bigger jerk in person.  Entitled.

I know you're not in love with the truth, but even you can't dispute straight from the horses mouth... 

 

Have you ever seen a former player bash their coach? Players still love Crean, Sampson, Davis, etc. Doesn’t mean the coach doesn’t know his arse from a hole in the ground.  We are all here complaining about what my team the Knicks were complaining about when he coached here.  Dude is an idiot.  He has no place being a HC.
