Two days ago it had Curbello from UI in portal

That would probably be a plus for UI if he did.

So with Trayce starting to get mocked into some first rounds and Durr gone, also the possibility of Race leaving and some speculating that Logan could transfer the frontcourt could be really thin next season, Coach Woodson needs to hit that portal hard for big men.

@Hoosierfan1901 posted this in the offseason thread. If he is starting to get mocked that high then I would be shocked if he came back.

Yes, good strategy to have no experienced PGs

Look who you are responding to, it's like responding to Sea Turtle or Mike. They are trolls from other teams. 😀

 The way he stepped up his game at the end of the season and showed he can take it to another level was big so it doesn't surprise me to see him mocked in the first round now.

I thought Rob would come back but now we will have to find a backup PG.

We might go for one in the portal for experience but I would assume that JHS would be the backup PG most of the time.

Anyone care to give me the TLDR of the last 20 pages or so?

 One side is defending Woodson and one side is defending Fife. Me personally I put all the crap on Rabjohns, if he wouldn't have been a turd with his hit piece, and let us be clear here it was a hit piece or he wouldn't have deleted it, this would have just been seen as two coaches who didn't click and parted ways.

 Best of luck to Coach Fife wherever he lands.

Anybody worried about Galloway leaving? I see people's starters next year, and he's not in many of them. He starts over Bates, no? Unless a special summer happens, TG played before Bates every game he was able to play in

I would be surprised if he even considered it.

The main guy I hope doesn't consider transferring is Xavier, he really came into his own as the season went on and will probably be considered one of the top PGs in the country next season. Having an experienced PG is big for making a Final Four push.

Rob, Stewart, one of TJD or Race could very well be gone. Could be others 

I could possibly see all of those guys gone. One thing is for sure the Hoosiers will look quite a bit different next season.

Not really surprised about these two transferring. Hopefully there is no surprises with transfers.

That highlights even more that we need to keep Ya.  I hope we do.  He’s got a long list of successes in one year.  IU, step up on this one.  

Speaking of Ya has there been any news on if he is leaving for Louisville? I've been extremely busy lately, so I am kind of out of the loop on CBB news somewhat.

You aren't alone there.  Lol!

Put me at the top of that non woke list also lol.

Dakich should speak for himself but I don't think he is saying that Woody explicitly launched a smear campaign.

What he is saying is that Peegs (the business) is obsequious to Woody and the program because their business relies on it.  Their business model requires access.  So they need to please Woody and the program.  If that requires them to crank out a hatchet job in a servile way without Woody telling them to do it.

This is definitely on Peegs, to keep the higher ups at IU happy and to keep their access. My issue with Dakich is that he is going to jump on it like a rabid dog to whichever side will get him ratings.

Again, in my opinion and small sample size experience from years ago, the idea that Woodson launched a smear campaign against Dane Fife on the way out is ridiculous. 

Sounds like something Dakich can sensationalize to whip fans up into a fury and pull in numbers. 

While I am not the biggest Woodson fan, kind of 50/50 on him, he doesn't seem like the kind of person that would launch a smear campaign on someone. This is all Rabjohns doing, and now Dakich is going to jump in on it and get fans going like you said. This would have been kept in house without Rabby running his trap.

Under no circumstance is there any benefit to dealing with it in the manner Rabjohns did.  His post is going to seriously damage Dane's career.  If it's not 100% accurate, that is a problem.

This is what it boils down to, there was no reason for Rabjohns to do the hatchet job he did, especially considering him and Fife are supposedly friends, I guess with friends like him who needs enemies. Without his hit piece this would have been handled by Woodson and Fife as two coaches who didn't mesh together and everyone would have moved on. Now if some of it isn't accurate this could hurt Fifes career for no reason.

I don't know the language of their rule, but rules have context. The rule, regardless of the exact language, would treat retaliation differently than an instigator. It would treat violence in an athletic setting differently than violence in an academic one. There is no chance the school has a rule that is so broad and absolute that it would require Howard to be fired. They might want to make a PR move and fire him - they might be even be happy to have an out to ditch him (though, I doubt they are there), but there is no chance the rule binds them to action.

 See now this is the way to explain and clear it up without being a tool, thank you. 👍

  I don't know much about contracts, was just passing along something I read.

That isn't always true. My old workplace had a violence and drug policy. 

I witnessed several fights, and one guy overdosed on herion in the parking lot. None of them got fired. 

 I would imagine a lot of places ignore it. It wouldn't surprise me if Michigan did, they did ignore the Bo and Anderson accusations.

Well you sure seem to think you know what is in the contract. Howard is very likely a different class of employee than whatever rule you are referencing covers. 

Hey smartass all I said was that UM has a rule, any workplace violence is immediate dismissal. Howard is one of their employees so it is easy to assume that he is covered in that.

That’s an extremely one sided, unrealistic view of what happened.  You sound biased against either Michigan or Howard.  He should not have swung but he didn’t slap an innocent man by a long shot.  

Krabbenoff learned what Mike Tyson made famous, “everyone has a plan until they get hit in the face.”  A truly brilliant observation that’s a metaphor for life.  But this is exactly what happened to Krabbenoff.  

I am not going to keep going back and forth with you.  You do you. 

Nothing bias about it. But the post of yours I originally responded to was definitely biased towards the Badgers.

You go ahead and do you.

I see some Wolverines fans are wanting Beilien back lol.

Do you really think the head basketball coaches contract is covered by all of the same employment rules as a maintenance guy on campus?

 I have no idea what is in their contract, so ok.

There is no way I would fire him for that.  You’re trying to play gotcha on something that is for a different context.  If a professor belted an assistant or even a coach belted a player, that would be different.   

He was trying to get through the line. Gard grabbed him and wouldn’t let him go through. Krabbenoff could have just come in and grabbed Gard and walked him away.  But for those two actions, nothing would have happened.  He shouldn’t have swung and that’s indefensible.  Suspension for sure.   But fire him?   Hell no. I wouldn’t even consider it.

I look forward to seeing Wisconsin go into Ann Arbor next year.  

 Gard grab his arm and they both started going at it, then Howard backs away only to fight back through his players to take a swing. Then after that he goes after someone else, which we can't see what happens there because of people being in the way. He 100% should be fired, if UM goes by their own rules. He is an employee at his job that committed a violent act, no matter how sever it was.

Juwan deserves a suspension.  No, he shouldn’t lose his job.

 UM has an automatic dismissal for any workplace violence, so if they are going to stick to their rules then yes he should be fired.

 It's kind of funny that on Michigan boards quite a few of them and possibly the majority of them thinks he should be fired. And on here where there is more hatred for the Badgers there is more that don't lol.
