Sorry i just don't agree. I don't buy into Coach Woodson is some great developer of talent. I just don't. Not going to change my mind which is why i don't usually post much about. And this will be the last time i do. thanks for the response, i will see my way out of this thread and conversation.

My opinion is you're giving it more meaning that it actually has but you have that right and i wouldn't try and take that from you. I just don't agree. Have a good day

I can't agree with the development part since i never watched how he played or was used at Oregon. I do think he was either misused or mis-motivated at Oregon for sure based on how he played at IU. Still has room to grow also. Will be nice to see what 24/7 development at the NBA level will do for him.

I think he has a Indiana tatoo across his back, or that is what it kind of looked like. Kid bought in completely to IU. Wish him nothing but the best./

She turned me into a Newt....I got better

This was the exact think i was thinking of when i posted that lol

I actual think its a funny nickname. I honestly don't think any differently about him because of it. Just my opinion though

Watching some film on Conner Hickman. Has a quick release, sweet stroke and nice jump shot. Not sure how he defends.

Who is this?

These kids enter the portal to renegotiate their NIL. This s&#t is getting out of hand

I think it goes back to the Billionaire supporters throwing extra money this year comments. It feels like a hail marry for just one season. I am more concerned that it isn't sustainable plan going forward. Every team is buying players, its how things are done, but do we want to be an organization that exclusively buys portal players instead of trying to buy high school players. the only difference i see in the 2 is this. Getting high school players feels more like they are committing to the school and the paycheck over just the paycheck. Can't say that is sound thinking or if there is any actual evidence to that, but its my opinion.

SHE'S A WITCH

Alot of those coaches are being paid for what they have done in the past, not so much what they have done lately.

What's a little choking amongst friends

I had a girlfriend who enjoyed being choked. I never could do it, but she always wanted me to do it. Just seemed like a weird kink

Honestly i don't disagree with you. My problem with coach Woodson doesn't have as much to do with the end results, although i want more win and better seeds in the tourney. My biggest issue is lack of direction for this program or a direction i don't enjoy. Its not fun to watch our team play, even when we win, its ugly basketball. We're trending the wrong way in recruiting and portal usage. I want a charismatic open dialog coach who wants to engage with the media and the fans. I want to be excited for the season, not just the offseason. I know that wins and titles plays into that, but I have also adulted long enough to know when something is trending the wrong way and that throwing money at bad framework won't work long term. I am resigned to this style of play for the next couple years until he retires (they will never fire him). Hopefully then we get a younger more modern style of play from our next coach.

lol, yeah if you have never experienced the CC show, i can see where they might be a little upset lol

again not defending him, but look at his results. he did pretty well just not tourney good the last 4 years.

Agreed but WBB has always hosted like this as does the NIT tourney. Not sure how they didn't know or understand how it works.

Have they not been in the Women's NCAA tourney before. Its not like anything has changed. Also, CC is great at drawing fouls from refs. She should get an award for her acting sometimes.

While i don't like Coach Calipari, has there ever been an indication that Kentucky cheats to get basketball players. They have been a good to great basketball program for longer than i can remember and under multiple coaches. I mean yeah the last couple years haven't been great, but only finished lower than 3rd twice in the conference and had a pretty good run earlier in his career. From where IU is sitting, i wouldn't throw stones at glass houses. Not saying i want him as our coach but i would take these results over the next 15 years

Just like guns don't kill people, forks don't make people fat, and cars don't get drunk and kills people on the road. Social media is no more evil or responsible for people being horrible. 30 years ago it wouldn't have been social media but letters and email threats. People suck. They continue to find more and creative ways to suck. And just like everything else, its the extreme outliers that do most of the horrible things in life.

No sure the stink of UG is off him yet. He isn't a bad coach. Just didnt' do well there

A&M is long, atheletic and talented. Not sure how they didn't win more games but damn they looked good.

I don't think he makes much as a Canadian, they have to get creative and i believe its not alot or near what it could be.
