    That's why I'd love to see some group if IT, Buckner, some of the guys from the 90's, etc., just come out and crush him. 

    It's getting ridiculous, especially when Dakich tries to give the impression that he speaks for the "old school" players. 

    My only guess would be that they’d rather ignore him than attack him and give Dakich the opportunity to act like a victim. Regardless, his spouting off against IU is absurd and annoying.

    I don’t know but it seemed to me in the first half our D switched everything even when they didn’t need to? Then after Woody called that time out they stopped switching and went on a 10-0 run!

    I noticed that too. I love the switchability, but it seemed like there were a lot of unnecessary switches that just caused guys to get out of position too often.

  13. Coach Mike Woodson Megathread

    Like I said, Love Woody and what he is doing but this Athletic Dept. Throws around raises just because the sun came up. Terry Moren deserves to be the Top paid coach in the Big Ten( I dont know where she sits ), she has earned it. Woody, not so much yet. YET!! Woody needs to send Archie a bottle of some kind for being such a pile of shit that a couple bids in the NCAA gets you a million more a year. NOW, if Woody does something with this team he has thrown together then he deserves it.

    Has he earned what he was making YES. In time will he deserve to be the highest paid coach in the history of the college game? I hope so!! That means a couple NCAA Titles. I can see by some of the replies how far we have fallen when NCAA bids are enough.

    I agree with you in a vacuum that a million dollar raise for 2 NCAA Tournament berths is normally not warranted. However, I think Woodson has stabilized this program and kept IU from becoming a total laughingstock after the failures of the Archie era. It feels like all this “is Indiana a blue blood” talk has died down because Woodson has gotten us to a certain point so far and IU fans are much more secure about what we have going at the moment. 
     

    Plus, you want to show that you’re a healthy program that supports its coach to recruits. He can point to a tangible thing now that demonstrates the administration fully supports him.

  19. Greeting a fellow Hoosier!

    in General Basketball Discussion

    I live in Maryland now, but I wear some sort of IU gear probably 75% of the time (especially during football and basketball season). I get a lot of comments asking if I went to IU and once I confirm we usually end up chatting about Mike Woodson, Bloomington, football, or some combination of the 3. Hoosiers are really hospitable people, and there are tons of us around.

  22. Players declaring for the 2023 draft...

    in General Basketball Discussion

    I feel like some people are forgetting that Franklin played 4 years in college. Declaring for the draft now is just a soft way of saying he doesn’t want to return to college. It doesn’t have to mean that he thinks he’s delusional and thinking he’s going to get drafted. It feels like some IU fans are still resentful at him for transferring, which in my opinion is a disingenuous thing to do when we clamor for incoming transfers all offseason. Just wish him well and move on.
