This is totally inappropriate and opens the University up to so much litigation. If my firm ever handled anything like this we would have to pay out lots of money.

I am upset that we are making this guy out to be some jackass who never fit here and dragging his name on the way out. It is completely against this idea that we're bridging the past. Why wasnt Dane more willing to be a part of that bridge once on campus? Edited March 24, 2022 by btownqb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no accurate idea what he was and wasnt willing to be honestly. We have rumors at best. I could fire back and say why isnt Mike more amenable to solving this than showing a former hoosier the door in such a short amount of time. That's why you keep a lid on stuff like this, but we've chosen the other route. That's what people are currently not a fan of. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave a ton of information some over done and some crazy talk to the biggest forum of Indiana sports. That violates so much in employment law I don’t even know where to begin. There is a way better way of doing this than having all the dirty laundry out because it is all not rosy for IU either. Thank JD Campbell for another smear campaign which he did for Crean a lot. Woodson most likely isn’t that far away from it. 🙄 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Chris007 is forever the guy who guaranteed Stevens was coming. It's hard to believe Fife is that stupid in front of a recruit. Chris007 also said Fife might be gone a month ago. He is right as often as anyone I have ever seen on these kind of boards. Edited March 24, 2022 by GaloisGroupe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the Fife stuff happened, I believe its the right call to have let him go.

IUBBx5Banners Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 The only blowback has been on niche online forums and on a radio show hosted by an also fired former IU coach. If Fife is as big of a loss as many claim he is and/or if the stuff Rabby said was bogus, I would expect to see Fife on the bench of an upper echelon Power 5 team in no time. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingsley99 Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 12 minutes ago, OGIUAndy said: Well, one is about kids on the team, one is about a guy who is no longer on the team. I don't agree with ripping Fife, but what DD is saying is, you can't have it both ways and I just don't agree. I don't think you should be doing "exposes" about kids getting in trouble on the team. DD is also just way too involved in all things IU and it's always negative. So, yes I think what Rabby did was lame, but to act like it's all a conspiracy to tarnish Fife and make IU look good, is purely gossip. Any and all beat writers are semi subservient to the teams they cover. If they can't get close to players and coaches they have no job. It's easy for DD to say this since his entire job is ripping people and the only time people pay attention is when it's IU. So his criticism is pretty ironic. Someone should just ask Rabby, why spill the beans? With that being said some things that happen in house can be shared to make someone look bad and other in house info not shared. Both situations were handled in house but with 1 the university felt they should fling some mud on the guy on his way out. I am just not a big fan of taking shots at anyone's character especially one that is on their way out. I did not get it with Cream or Archie either.

ThePaulieWalnuts Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 IF Fife said that to Filipowski and his family, that's flat out dumb and another reason he needed to go. Don't need negativity in and around the program. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 15 minutes ago, btownqb said: “I am committed to doing what I believe is best for the continued growth of our men’s basketball program as we collectively work toward returning it to the upper echelon of college basketball,” said Woodson in a release. “Sometimes, that commitment can result in some very difficult decisions, and that is the case today. Ultimately, I believe that the fit must be right with a coaching staff, and I’ve decided that a change is necessary.” “I appreciate everything Dane has done as a member of the staff during the last year and as player for our program. He will always be a part of the Hoosier family and I wish him well in his future pursuits.” Woodson's EXACT words. Why are we upset about this wording? I kept hearing DD saying how bad the press release was, so I was going back to read it. Looking at this I don't see how anyone could say that Woodson discredited Dane in anyway. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
