I want to see how those two do against each other. Due to family obligations I will probably only catch the second half of that game...but I want to check it out for sure. Maybe I will record it.

Coach Shep Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Woodson would be a bigger mistake than Archie. He has a losing record and no recruiting experience. No player today has ever heard of him or the knicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCHoosier32 Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 i think it is clear that this would be a devastating hire, but can anyone at least give me insight why this would be good other than just being an "IU guy?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy not only is well respected by executives by NBA franchises, the best basketball in the world. He relates to players and young athletes - was known for that. He is also known for developing talent. And, players who have 2on championships at IU and in the NBA vouch for him. I think it is unfortunate not to get past we need Stevens or a college coach. Woodson is one of the best in the world, he has been hired a few times in the NBA as a head coach, assistant, etc. Furthermore, the guy might want the job and might have passion to being IU brand back. Its not just a job for him. That is my take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my take. okay. strongly strongly disagree, but this is what i was asking for. just wondered what could even be argued. he was a marginally successful NBA coach who got fired. now assistant coach. no college experience. that is the most optimistic perspective on him i have ever heard though!

Thanks! When he coached the Hawks everything was positive. I watched closely as I was interested in how Josh Smith would do going from HS to NBA. Trust me, he is good. ALSO - He has stong ties in Indy, east coast and the south. Not many could say that. Connections and relationships are recruiting 101. He is Indy, he was in Georgia, NY, Mil, etc. That goes along way. And, he is a people person and can coach the heck out of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a look at Woodson's head coaching record...His teams improved every year in Atlanta, and he had the train wreck known as the New York Knicks in the playoffs in 2 of his 3 years, including a 1st place finish in the Atlantic Division in 2012-13...

Leonard Hamilton failed in the nba and continues to knock it out in college but certainly he was a mildly successful college coach at Miami before. Obviously you would have to pair him with a strong recruiting assistant etc but he has been around enough basketball to implement a modern nba offense.

College coaches DO control the roster and Woody's lack of experience at that level (including recruiting) is the biggest reason for doubt for me. Also someone mentioned his race and I don't think that is something to discount - it could help when recruiting urban based players in larger metropolitan areas.

I didn’t see this posted yet so here is a decent argument as to why Woodson. Not saying I agree, but it at least helps me think I wouldn’t be as depressed if it happened. https://t.co/fWoC38ufRZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is if he has ability to 'connect' with in a few years. If he can bring in a real good top assistant, he can somehow mitigate that issue. Also, you made a good point in 'race' issue; I know it's a bit of a sensitive one, but we can't act like it doesn't exist. Woodson may have some difficulty in recruiting kids from small cities; it will take time, but it's not anything Woodson can't overcome. IU men's basketball recruits itself until people in Indiana realize the IU coach sucks. That's how Archie was able to land Romeo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
