BADGERVOL Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 I’ll go on record as saying Pearl isn’t my first choice, but that he is a safe choice to help us get back traction. I’d also add that although his age is a concern, I’d see a man like him coaching for 5-6 more years regardless, BUT if at his dream job probably more like 7-9 years. Just my gut feeling.

John S Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 "A Coach progressing vs. a Coach regressing". Several family members are Minny fans and know plenty about losing seasons. I remember earlier this year some Hoosiers fans on this site being fearful that IU was falling to the level of MInny. Here are some interesting comparisons as of this week. IU 14-12 with average losing margin of 14 pts. (includes 7 losses by 14 to 28 pts). Minn is 16-9 with avg losing margin of 8 pts (one loss of 18 pts, all other losses by 2 to 11). Both teams avg 12 turnovers and shoot about 67% FTs. Minn gets 3 more assists and 1 more RB per game. Coach Ben Johnson, age 43, had losing seasons in year 1&2 of his tenure. This year he has produced a substantial improvement. Woody, age 60+, had winning seasons in Yrs 1 & 2 (with key production of TJD and JHS). Year 3 has been a huge disappointment. Embarrassing losses at AH to PS, NB and NW are a bad omen for the future. Johnson is paid $2 mill and Woody $4 mill. Sure looks like IU has some catching up to do if they want to match Minny this year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I expect IU to be in touch soon But I dont dye my white hair and will collect social security in 4 years. Will you consider me?

Inequality Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Everyone can see how bad we are. Now, even Dickie V is chiming in. This may be old news as it was posted yesterday but I’m just now seeing it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Johnson picked up Elijah Hawkins as a transfer PG from Howard U (former DeMatha player) and he leads the country with 7.6 assists per game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Inequality Posted February 23 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 23 Wanna see a good coach? Watch the women’s team spank Iowa right now. Watch the chemistry and continuity from our lady Hoosiers. Smart efficient offense and in your face defense. Pride heart and high energy. Win or lose this game you can be proud that these girls will leave it all on the floor. Tell me one IU men’s player that can shoot the rock like some of these ladies. Not a single one can do what these girls do in game. They are the face of Terry Morens character, attitude, energy and IQ. These ladies aren’t near as athletic as the men but much higher in fundamentals. Terrys ability to translate and connect with her team is obvious. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indykev Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 After watching the girls play, it got me thinking. maybe we hire Dawn Staley the womens coach of the #1 team in the country to replace Woody. Man that would check a lot of boxes. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-starter for the IU brethen. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man that would check a lot of boxes. I'm definitely not one of these "misogynist" guys that thinks women shouldn't be in men's sports. But that would be a "Canary in the Coal Mine" situation and I'm not sure we are in the position of doing that. There was talk years ago about Pat Summitt coaching men's basketball. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
