Over the least 15-20 years though my interest has waned to pretty much watching IU and no one else. I don't even watch high level Big Ten games if IU is not involved. Kind of similar. I find myself watching games and hoping other teams share misery too. Weird way to live. Haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha. i would say i am similar to both of you. kinda sad. i used to just love to watch any good basketball, but the game and society have changed in so many ways that i feel like i am just a grumpy old man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 12 minutes ago, Seeking6 said: Good friend of mine up in Chicago has a weird work schedule. Or maybe the family drives him crazy and he just wants alone time in the cave.... but he'll literally text me at 1045pm and say are you watching this SDSU/Nevada game? Watches all college hoops/football year round. My new job schedule is like that where I work from 2 to. 10:30 so I will watch a lot of late night games 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 If I'm not doing something family oriented and a B1G game is on, I'm watching. I also love "Big 10 Basketball in 60" for games I miss. Out of our conference, I probably watch 10 games a year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana has had some great GAs over the years. No doubt this kid is going to be the next. I can see him easily becoming a full time assistant coach if an opening happens down the road. Very happy everyone around this program seems to have such PASSION for the game. Can't say I FELT that the past several years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Woody thought so too... No doubt. Not sure which is more impressive. The drive or the dedication and passion this kid has for what he wants in life and the connections he has made already. It isn't a small achievement for sure. Something tells me this kid will make something of himself one way or another. I love Woody and this face to face stuff and speaking about himself in the third person is all good and well right now...but I can see it getting a bit old and having the opposite effect if things ever don't go the way we all want them. Hopefully that is never the case but I can see how the guy can come off a little egotistical. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euroclydon Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) I give credit to Dolson for completely rebooting IU basketball. A solid coaching hire with an IU background, hiring Matta, paying a lot more for assistant coaches, and letting CMW have the ability to set things up the way he wants them is working wonders. Maybe the prior coaches had the flexibility to do the same things but they sure did not have the vision or willingness to try something new. Maybe it was Glass holding them back. I'm just glad IU seems to be willing to shake things up in a big way. Yes, they have to win but at least it feels like they have a plan in place and based on the results to this point, it's working.

Euroclydon Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 He may have referred to getting them ready to play for 48 minutes, but I get it. He's not yet into college game mode. They all want to play in the nba anyway. Might as well get used to it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Woody is on a mission and I'm not going wish we had him years ago I'm just glad we have him now. Its early but I feel he is going to right this ship and set the program up for future success. Go Coach! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakeet Jones Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 His reaction to the question about the pack line defense is worth the watch for that alone. Woody won me over quickly after being named coach, and continues to impress me every time I listen to him. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad B Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Well worth the watch. Thanks for posting. Very excited to have CMW. He comes across as a very personable guy and a class act. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indykev Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Loved CMW comment on Trace has to become a more willing player scoring at the rim. I thought far to many times in the past he gave into the contact and just threw the ball toward the basket wishing it in. Even his little jump hook he was looking for the bounce. I also loved his comment about players not liking being recruited over. He said he wont ever tell a kid it wont happen. He wants the best players and players that want competition. Love It!! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElectricBoogaloo Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Man, there is some reaaaallllyyy amateur hour stuff from local reporters AND everyone's favorite Gregg Doyel in this video. -"How was your golf game" -Another golf question -"Why are you talking to us?" (is this a question a supposed "reporter" has ever asked someone at media availability? Just ridiculous) -The one guy whose name was called an said "I'm good" We have a brand new head coach with a bunch of new players and these are some of the questions that get thrown out? Jesus. Credit to Bozich and our friend Mike for asking substantive questions that got us real answers. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike's question was great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
