you just seem sexy

pretty certain the original poster is still on this board. just can't remember who it was.

i feel like Scott has done a pretty good job over the last few years on judging which of us are fans. i am so bummed i can't find the old picture from this site that said "Rejected by Scott!"

honestly though, i do think it's relevant. not necessarily their comments but Woodson's. along with numerous obvious issues, his media comments just don't do him any favors.

Fire Mike Woodson! (Today)

yeah. gotta agree. i mean my son plays basketball and while not at that level, he gets $ for his college, attire, food, etc. these guys get a lot more than that. while it would be rough to read bad stuff about my kid, it kind of goes with playing on a national stage, right? if they get flack for anything it is on social media and they don't have to read it. i guess like Barkley always said - i am not a role model? sorry it comes with the limelight.

i was so confused at first.

i don't care personally what the players or coach say about true fans. i think it is a bad move for them though. i don't see anything good out of being combative with the fan base especially when A.) you have underperformed and B.) it wasn't like it was brought up. again, if a reporter asks you about it, 100% absolutely support your coach or if you're the coach, support your players. i would expect nothing else.

thought that was an absolutely terrible move by all. just not the time and place. no way that can help with the fans either. just don't bring it up unless asked.

while i don't have an issue with them standing up for their coach - this screams to me that Woodson has said things to the team like, "I hope you guys are happy. You are playing so bad that they are saying I should be fired." if players are interviewed and that question comes up - yes, definitely defend your coach. otherwise do not bring it up!

as tough as it is... you don't mention it at all if you are Woodson or the players. it isn't like they were being interviewed and asked about it. you don't get a dig in about true fans, and i am the coach, etc. you don't address it. just not the time or place.

going back to the plan: A. Bring in a lot of good players B. Get a new coach

i mean look. when we lose i take the blame. i mean i'm not out there missing shots and making turnovers, but i take the blame.

kinda

i'll give credit where credit is due and admit when i'm wrong. i thought we'd literally lose all 4 of the last 4. that said, they were not good teams and we didn't exactly look pretty doing it!

also, what would any coach say when asked about another coach? "Well, yeah. Woodson is lazy and runs a terrible system. I can't believe they haven't fired him already?"

if i were Izzo i would be lobbying for IU to bring Woodson back as well. i'd much rather that than get a good coach who could actually utilize the talent.

i would have been a little disappointed. not big time, but thought we would be a little better than that. definitely thought we had the talent to be a top 25 team and make the tourney.

definitely glad the players aren't against him and giving up. doesn't change my mind even a little bit that Woodson needs to go now. love that we fell into the 6th seed in this bad conference and feel like we have the talent to win a couple. i love watching IU bball, so would actually rather see us play in the NIT than nothing.

serious question - for the 1 or 2 Woodson backers - are you also big believers in XJ? i'm just wondering if that is part of the buy in for the few wanting Woodson back? do you believe X would have been the difference this season?

right. so we should be fine. solid lineup.

all should be good if Leal and Galloway are coming back. Cupps, Leal, Galloway, Reneau, Sparks

i would love an angry emoji or dislike option

was that a threat?

we should be really good next year as long as Leal is back
