Fiveoutofsix Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 I love this idea. Always a well respected coach in thenNBA and is well respected amongst the IU basketball family. Would be pumped if he is named the coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bustout Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 I’m sure he’s a great coach, but is he a more than a 10 year solution at best? Seems a head scratcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU247 Posted March 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Though if he is hired we should give him a chance. Wasn’t the Tom Allen hire heavily disliked by people here? and boy were we wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would mean most likely that the money was for a swing at Stevens and then after that it must be an IU guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButlerHoosier Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 He is 62 years old. So won't be here for 20 plus years if he pans out. Has zero experience recruiting college players. Sub .500 coaching record in the NBA. Never got past the conference semi finals. I mean...not trying to knock him but I just don't see this and understand. He seems more defensive minded than a cutting edge offense. Honestly if we are going that route I would prefer someone else. I just see so many drawbacks. I will support who ever the coach is but as I said with all the other possible coaches available. This is a huge head scratcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a head scratcher In today's sports getting 10 years out of a coach is not a norm. I bet after all the old timers are gone you will see very few coaches stay in one place for 30-40 years because they make so much money and there is so much pressure on them.

IU Scott Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Also it could be we are just interviewing him to appease the former players who want a former player to be considered. Also did you expect us to just interview one person and then hire him. We will probably here some names of possible coaches because we are doing our due diligence.

DC2345 Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 I could see this Woodson stuff coming from Woodson. He wanted the job four years ago and his name got brought up some then when Archie was hired. I feel like it’s the same thing. The other scenarios I see is that Dolson is talking to him while other coaches are still in the tournament or the boosters wanted Stevens or an IU guy so here we are as a fan base.

ephul Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Like last hire, we simply may have swung and missed with our targets. And before going the mid major route again, why not take a gamble on a guy like Woodson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
