Dane had to have an agent who negotiated some kind of package for him to leave. Dolsen could/should have put in place some kind of gag order that would keep either side from turning this into a pissing match 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there will be mistakes but not of the intentional, insubordinate way. I think he will own up to inadvertent mistakes. Maybe it is the lawyer in me, but the campaign against him does not ring true and sounds twisted and one sided. It isn't Dane I'd be worried about in an appearance on Dakich's show 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Woodson issues a statement that makes it clear that Fife was fired, followed by leaks to the press that attack Fife’s character. Not the way to handle it. I think fans really overestimate the idea that sports teams "leak" stories like this. I'm just one guy and it's a small sample size, but in 5 years as a PR rep with an NBA team I can't remember one instance of management asking me to "leak" stuff like that, or really leak anything. Does that mean the GM never called a reporter to drop some draft or trade smokescreens? Probably not, but I was never aware of it. But I'm sure they did that. But, during my time we had to terminate a players contract because of alcoholism, we had a player tear an ACL running from a shooting scene, we had coaches fired, etc., but I can't recall a time I was asked to leak stuff to make the organization look better or make former players or coaches bad in those instances 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FritzIam4IU Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 I sincerely hope IU lands a big name in the transfer portal soon so all of this gets put on the back burner. Just tired of all the drama with IU hoops. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC2345 Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 I was frustrated by the situation earlier and had heard a few different things. That said Woodson made the right call. I do think he could’ve done things differently with the dismissal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JABBATHEHOOSIER Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 I always liked Fife and was thrilled when he came back to IU. I loved his interviews and having met him a couple times he was always very cool. But if he wasn't a good fit, then so be it. I've worked in environments that weren't a good fit and I was thrilled when I finally left those situations and I'm sure that's the case here. I understand the hand wringing to a degree, but would you really care if he wasn't from IU? I have no inside info but watching him on the bench this year, he was not overly involved in any aspect. I wish him the absolute best and will be rooting for him wherever he goes. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also expect that his recruiting prowess will be of mythical proportions 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
