  1. If a transfer was good enough, then they wouldn't worry about who we currently think are the starters. But yea, highly unlikely we supplant a starter with someone else.
  2. The backup big to ballo may also play some 4 as well. But I'd rather see Goode there.
  3. hopefully we can finish off with another big and guard for the final 2 spots.
  4. So? I'm allowed to have an opinion on the end of the video. I'm done responding but you guys are doing nothing but trying to silence opposing views and it's rather pathetic.
  5. All I did was respond to the video that was posted in this thread. I'm sure you are busy typing to the other participants in the coach conversation that their posts don't belong here either I know you didn't single out my post just to silence an opposing opinion
  6. Never claimed not to be a critic of Woodson. If my view bothers you then ignore my posts and move along.
  7. Yes mother. I'm responding to the idiot in the video that took an unnecessary shot at critics of Woodson. If you're going to miss the point, then you might want to sit out of the conversation.
  8. I hope that is true and that it means he is crazy good rather than the other players are just bad. I'm cautiously optimistic about our talent on the roster but keeping expectations in check.
  9. You missed the point. No one has issue with people being excited. It's the premature "i told you so" bs by the guy in the video. The only criticism of Woodson that was addressed was fixing the lack of guard depth.
  10. It's so dumb to go after people that criticized Mike Woodson simply because donors bought IU some transfers. The criticisms of Mike Woodson haven't changed just because the talent has increased on paper. Show it on the court this fall and we can hopefully start to erase some of the criticism.
  11. You never know how the year will play out and what injuries might occur. There is no reason to purposely go a player short.
  12. A petition is nothing more than a count of people that share an opinion in hopes that it will help them be heard. As soon as the mega donors backed Woodson, the decision was made. People who think they can silence opposing opinion should chill.
  13. So what that people were signing a petition and done with Woodson? Supporting or not supporting woodson as coach has no bearing on whether you're a true IU basketball fan. Both sides want what they think is best for the program. So yes, it's a load of crap to pull out the "true fan" card.
  14. I wouldn't say nobody, especially my examples from the facebook group (although think the "true fan" attack gets thrown around at some point or another on every board/group/forum). I think exaggerating the other side's opinion to make it appear unreasonable is arguably trying to squash an opinion. True, Leal could have been focused on just the crazier of the fans that cross the line. I think another possibility is Woodson's inability to take any criticism without lashing back may be rubbing off on his players. He could be stirring the pot.
  15. because that nobody has a much higher chance of becoming somebody than that empty chair. Plus, it's another player for practice, one that would presumably be better than the walk-ons. And whose to say #13 would be the least talented of the scholarship players? Maybe said player is good enough to crack the rotation and push someone else down.
  16. Maybe we can finally get a package deal to work with Adams and Haralson.
  17. A lot of people just don't think people with different opinions should be able to voice said opinion. I'm in a facebook group for IU fans and not sure how many times you get the "you're not a coach" hogwash response. Apparently having experience as a coach is required in order to post...well only if you're critical. If you like Woodson then no coaching experience necessary. Guess we can thank Leal for leading that charge. Of course, that's mixed in with the "you're not a true fan" commentary.
  18. That's about as over the top as saying we could lose every game and people would still be on here saying how awesome Woodson is and he just needs more time.
