I dont know if you misunderstood what i wrote because i didnt mention anything about winning the bigten. I nor anyone else thinks we are going to win the B1G this year. The obtainable goal would be to make the tournament and see what happens from there.

assuming the bolded statement above means that you dont believe CMW is a good coach?

Tell me who Lander would play over for Michigan? Eli Brooks or DeVante Jones? 

If you think this year is a rebuilding year, just wait until next year 😲

We have 5 sr 3 Jr 5 sho and 3 Fr. For us to make the tournament, we're going to have to be able to play more, than 6 or 7 players, if them younger players are not getting any playing time, and experience, being developed, then what in the heck are they doing, what are they practice players, and this is CMW first year, his first head coach job, on the college level, like I said before, he played for Bob Knight, that doesn't make him Bob Knight, and I love IU basketball just like the rest of us, but we are going to have to rebuild before we do anything, there's not going to be a quick fix , it's going to take some rebuilding and a lot of hard work, and I don't think the transfer portal is not the way, we are not Kentucky, a bunch of one and dones, and they have some of the top freshman in the country and still lose, and the jury is still out on CMW, we will see, but he's still learning to, once again, that's just my opinion and how I fill, let's see how many banners he hangs up, because when it's all said and done, everything falls on the head coach, if we have a real bad year, his first year, we won't be talking about KL, I'm pretty sure of that.

Yes I think he would play and play a lot, if you have as many young players as IU has ,you have to have a coach to develop young talent, that's what the good coaches do, and if you think that, we're going to win, the big ten CMW first year in the big ten, that's just not going to happen, I think this year is a rebuild year and I think it's a must that we develop are young talent, and I love IU basketball, but I'm a realist, you know, I heard a old man say one time, wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up first. Go big red.

It's going to be a long season.

Im not going to lie. i didnt read all of your post.

Simply put CMW doesn't not think Lander gives us the best chance to win today. If Lander wants to move on and find playing time somewhere else, so be it. But i doubt he plays big minutes like you claim at Michigan or Louisville. Michigan has a guard that averages 34.6 minutes, and another that averages 26 minutes.

You cant play someone just purely based on the fact that they are young and could be/probably will be talented. you'd never play Jr's or Sr's and they'd transfer anyway.

We play games to win them today, not tomorrow, unless its rebuilding time. If IU goes on a losing streak and we are out of any kind of post season contention, then you can play for next year by giving younger players time. Until then, you play to win now and CMW doesnt think Lander gives us a better chance to win today.

Ye I think he would pl and play a lot, if you have as many young players as IU has ,you have to have a coach to develop young talent, that's what the good coaches do, and if you think that, we're going to win, the big ten CMW first year in the big ten, that's just not going to happen, I think this year is a rebuild year and I think it's a must that we develop are young talent, and I love IU basketball, but I'm a realist, you know, I heard a old man say one time, wish in one hand and shit in the other a see which one fills up first. Go big red.

One of KL top 2 college teams to play for were, Michigan and Louisville and he ended up at Indiana, if he continues not to get any playing time, and being in CMW dog house, he will be transferring to either one of them two teams, and I'm sure that they will be happy to get him, and I'm sure he wil play, and play a lot so we might want to think about it, CMW, is not Bob Knight, not even close and do we want to see a 5 star PG, a Indiana boy leave and go somewhere else and come back and kick our butt, I'm just saying it's something to think about,it can't all be on the kid some of it has to be on the coach, the coach,who set there and watch the team self destruct and watch XJ take nothing but terrible shot after terrible shot, and not call a time out to make any kind of adjustment, to be truthful, CMW stood over there looking like a deer in headlights, but it's enough blame to go around, for everyone who got a chance to play, I just hope that we can put this behind us and regroup and start to play better, we need all hands on deck,I just feel that some of the younger guys on the bench, couldn't play any worse than most of the guys who played the second half, think about some of the younger guys we have over on the bench not playing,who chose to come to Bloomington, it's a lot of talent over there, and the only way that they get better is playing, that's just my opinion. Go big red.

Woody said in the post game it "didnt even cross his mind" to get KL in the game.

With how Rob and especially XJ were playing, I find this to be extremely problematic. You have to adjust when XJ is shooting like that.

It's gonna be a long season.

Woodson should have recognized that Johnson was imploding in the second half and tried other options. He was a black hole. His endless terrible shots down the stretch were essentially turnovers. Time to give Lander the ball at times and get this kid experience moving forward. Can't see how he would be worse than what I saw from X and Rob tonight. Together there were 5/20 from the field...2/8 from the line.  It's been a while since I've been this angry after a game!!

You are so right.

Johnson is terrible
