Maedhros Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 On 3/6/2024 at 9:31 PM, Maedhros said: Ware's going pro, but retain Malik, Mgbako and Galloway. Recruit the portal to fill around them, and McNeeley, with skills that balance the roster. Go all in on the '25 class over the summer and give us some promise for the future. Realize after a rough season that your coaching will need to adapt to play a winning style of basketball. There's a path there. I make no assurances it will happen, or even that it's likely, but this what I hope to see. A year from now we'll have our answer, one way or another. I don't see the worth in getting upset about bad things that haven't happened yet. I love Indiana Basketball, but it's just a game. When my team loses it just means I didn't get to enjoy a win, doesn't affect my life any more than that. So I'm going to hope Woodson makes the most of this opportunity right up until I'm proven wrong. Well... nevermind all that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 (edited) This program is going to have a failure of Georgetown epic proportions. It is scary how similar this is going to turn out…just wonder if we will ever turn it around as clearly Georgetown with all of their history is struggling to this day.

Cbp4IU Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Last question before I go to bed. Who is in a better spot in basketball right now? Louisville or Indiana Michigan or Indiana DePaul or Indiana good night all. Always a great time on the chat with all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louisville or Indiana Michigan or Indiana DePaul or Indiana good night all. Always a great time on the chat with all. Louisville is going to move on from Payne at the end of the season. 100% guaranteed. Michigan just won a championship in the sport they care about most. Indiana over DePaul. Bruce Pearl wants to come to Indiana. In the <2% chance Woodson quits at the end of the season, the Hoosiers could land a good coach with a bigger than life personality, which is exactly what the program needs. Knight was a GREAT coach with a bigger than life personality. He succeeded at IU Sampson was a GREAT coach with no personality at all, but would have succeeded at IU because of his coaching acumen. Pearl is a GOOD coach, but with a bigger than life personality and passion for what he does. that would help make him successful at IU. not to Knight's level, because Perl isn't that level of a coach. To succeed, IU needs a great coach (Sampson), a larger than life personality (Pearl), or both (Knight). Without either f those things, the job will swallow the coach whole. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we wer SOs in HS Bobby was soooo big. Legit 6'8 240/250 at that point. His sport wasn't basketball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero chance that Iwho hires anyone with a larger than life persona. end of RMK, dickitch, davis, sampson, cream, achillies, woody is not the problem. Pearl aint coming, no matter how he want's it. P r o v e Me wrong. IU mens basketball (more importantly, the IU fan base) is right where the lipstick left coast liberals what them to be. While you all are on suicide watch, Sacramento overruns Hoop nation. They are REALLY good at bringing down strength. ANY of the last 4 coaches could have won with an IU logo on their collar left alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaybobHoosier Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 With Woody, I totally get why he is getting a 4th year (not considering the rumors and stories), even though I feel like the writing is on the wall that this won’t work out. In a perfect world, Woodson turns everything around (coaching, recruiting, attitude, off-court stuff) and restores us back as a blue-blood. Unfortunately, don’t see it happening. If it does end this year or next, regardless of how bad it gets, I hope we can still love and support Woodson the player. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zlinedavid Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Woodson could win #6 and people would complain that we weren’t undefeated. We could go undefeated and people would complain that we got lucky too many times. The wins weren’t convincing enough. We could go undefeated and win every game by 30 and the same people would complain that it wasn’t the “old B10 home and home schedule” so it doesn’t count as much. And we had more than 2 players that weren’t from Indiana. 🙄 Translation: some people aren’t happy unless they’re complaining, and some people will never be totally happy with IU basketball until the remains of RMK are reanimated and the calendar says 1978 again. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
