True. Whatever happened to “Worldwide Wes” ? I forgot all about him. Did Kentucky start having a fall off around the time he became less engaged? Just asking… I don’t know, I haven’t followed it.

I$ it ju$t me, or doe$ there $eem to be a $egment of coache$ that aren’t doing a$ well in the NIL era, maybe $ince the playing field wa$ leveled and their previou$ advantage wa$ removed? Maybe guy$ like Calipari, $elf, $ean Miller, etc.

Didn’t we already have April fools?

Or a parole hearing…

Agree!

Ha ha! literally lol'd at "skid marks".

Frankly, I'd rather see Purpoo win the whole BTT, exhaust themselves as much as possible, and go into the NCAA as overconfident as possible. The BTT is a meaningless waste of time IMO anyway.

Attention PhD candidates...need a thesis topic or a gold medal case study in failed leadership, organizational management disasters, or how to ruin a good organization through malignant ineptitude? Take a look at Indiana University's senior leadership failures and fiascos. (sorry its come to this, and I'm a two-time alum, but Good Lord our administration looks fatally and crippingly incompetent, again. Or is it "still"?)

Agree. I don't think Crean was the right long-term guy, but he wasn't a disaster, and he was actually a much better bridge to the next coach than Mike Woodson is proving to be. We are in a disaster zone now.

I look at the "can't fire a legend or you'll look bad" very differently I guess. If Duke hired Grant Hill, or North Carolina hired Sam Perkins, etc., then fired them later for genuinely poor performance (or like NC did with Dougherty), I wouldn't say "Oh, look how crazy and unreasonable they are, they fired one of their own". I would be like, "look how serious they are about being good and not tolerating mediocrity, he sucked and they moved on". I think IU is WAY over-sensitive about this. If the coach isn't getting it done, move on!

Ready, Fire, Aim!

Agree. Apple and orange comparison to Woodson, IMO. Davis has several years as a college asst. coach.
