HoosierMama Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 I remember mile sometimes posting links to songs to express his feelings about certain things. So in honor of mile I leave you with this. I think we got just what we needed, even it wasn’t what we all wanted at first. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly wonder if he didn't want the pressure or expectations. If he ever takes another college job and it isn't IU, I think that will say a lot. If he didn't like pressure or expectations, he wouldn't be coaching the Celtics. They're one of the most prestigious organizations in pro sports. Look how many Celtics fans wanted him to leave last month. Finishing fourth or fifth in the East and maybe winning a playoff series is a failure to them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion the door has been shut, licked and the key has been thrown away. Adios! With this Corona thing, we probably shouldn't do a lot of door licking, but other than that I agree...

He left a great situation at Butler to take over one of the most iconic franchises in sports, in one of the most intense sports media markets, at a time when they were supposed to be in full rebuild mode. He ultimately decided the NBA is where he wants to be. Homer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierFaithful Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 I think the vast majority of the complaints were if we hired an IU guy solely for that reason. Alford, for example. Woodson has legit credentials. Fair to have doubts about if we will succeed, but I think you can definitely point to other reasons than “IU alum” for his hiring. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isnt worth $70 million. He took over an already successful mid major program and happened to have some players play above their potential. If he really cared about IU bball no way he turns that offer down. And if you compare BS and Woodys NBA record, only a 10% difference in wins, BS did it with a historically great franchise, and Woody did it with bottom feeders. Woody played here, and spent 40 yrs in the NBA and came back and took this job for less than some masshole was offered because he loves IU. With the developments that have happened with coaching staff and AD and new President its difficult to contain my excitement.😬 On 2/24/2021 at 1:35 PM, cybergates said: Everyone automatically assumes BS would be "the savior" and kill it at IU, but I'm not so sure (I'm more sure that I'll be ridiculed for this blasphemous notion). He only coached for 6 years at Butler and it was 8 years ago now. He took over a program that had 2 years of success under the previous coach that left for a bigger job. He coached in a mid-major conference. He had a future NBA All-Star on the team he took to a bank-shot away from a title. His 2nd NCAA champ game run was more impressive since GH was gone, but on the opposite side of the coin they are a ball bounce/call the other way from losing to Pitt in Rd2 (remember this crazy ending? ) and Florida in the E8 (went to OT), not to mention they got #11 seed VCU in the FF. He doesn't have experience in building a program at a Power5 school, is allegedly not fond of recruiting, and might be restricted by admin if rumors are true. This isn't a pro-Miller or anti-Stevens post. Just food for thought. On 2/24/2021 at 1:39 PM, cybergates said: To add BS's kenpom #'s aren't much better than AM's. (His W-L are much better and that's the only thing that really matters in the end to me). Top is BS vs. AM last 6 (4IU/2Dayton). Bottom is BS vs. AM (all 6 Dayton). I agree with you. I said it back in Feb, that he wasn't guaranteed to be great if we got him for several reasons. He might have been great or he might have failed. We'll never know now, but we seem to be in good maybe great hands with another former NBA Coach who truly loves IU and took his dream job instead of turning it down. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
