IU Scott Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 40 minutes ago, madmax said: As much as I want it to be true, no way Dolson actually has the guts to can Woodson after 1 bad year. I’d argue it’s obviously still warranted based on the performance this year and middling success with 2 NBA players last year and the bevy of recurring problems. We clearly are directionless, it’s time, but I just can’t see Dolson doing it. Hope to be wrong. It isn't just about this terrible year or the record. Style of play Getting blown out multiple times Unable to change your ways His recruiting philosophy First year was mediocre at best Second year was good but gets blown out in the 2nd round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally disagree especially with today's kids, they want to feel.tbe love. If no other coaches showed up then no one would care but three other coaches did show up 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an easy play by him but at the end of the day it actually means nothing. Sorry, but that’s just satire, right? Painter went to see prospective recruits just to troll IU fans on social media? 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdue doesn't have phones or or zoom that a fine University like IU has. They can't make that late night call like Woody. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say you haven’t followed recruiting without saying you haven’t followed recruiting. 😂 Holy cripes I’ve never heard anything like this before from an avid fan of college anything about recruiting and attending important HS games. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Turtle Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 Again, prepare on him returning. We are being conditioned for the news or in this case, non news. We probably have the worst boosters of any so called blue blood program. There is just no desire to be great or to do whatever it takes to get the program great again. The last two hires in particular tell you how pathetic they are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2345 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 (edited) Trilly shared an update that Dolson and Woodson met today and that no decision about the future has been made yet. I took this as Dolson giving Woodson an opportunity to show something the rest of the year but that’s just me.

We won't be there tonight but sure do wish you well. Reply...Thanks Coach. Talk soon! Or, he could take the Tom Crean approach and send a text that says something like "I have been thinking about you a lot since last weekend. A whole lot." 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fkfootball Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 If Woodson comes back, and we stink next year, I hope people let Quinn Buckner know about it at every opportunity. Dolson doesn't deserve it because I'm sure he's opposed to it. Woodson doesn't even deserve it because you can't blame a guy for taking or wanting to keep that Job even though he's mediocre at it. But Quinn. Quinn is pushing this for reasons unrelated to basketball. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fkfootball Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 The IU administration seems to favor optics over being competent. Anyone with basketball sense can look at this situation for what it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Woodsons fate depends on the last three remaining games then he wasn’t really in any jeopardy of being canned to begin with. Dolson is no dummy. The negative effects would kill the program the minute we started losing games. Woodson is out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a necessary part of the process, and theoretically Dolson should be meeting with all his coaches on a regular basis anyway. Do y'all not have 1:1 meetings with your boss once a week? This is normal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolson has no reason to call this meeting; Woodson is the coach, and according to his contract, will be the coach. Why call a meeting to tell your coach you’re not sure what the future holds? If Dolson did call the meeting, I think it’s either to fulfill some legal or other obligation, like others have said, maybe a monthly/regular meeting. Perhaps Woodson called the meeting because he needed to hear (or report?) that he’s still the coach, and no decision has been made. That’s just my guess. This whole situation has taken over my free time admittedly 😆; I really don’t think about university meetings much otherwise! Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can’t, then Woody is retained. Just depends which way that domino falls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feathery Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 On 2/28/2024 at 5:53 PM, BADGERVOL said: For my own sake I’d love to hear what you’ve heard that makes May different. I’m fine with May but Miller is in the back of my mind because there were good reasons to believe he’d pan out. I was on the Archie train but NEVER was the Crean. I was shouting from the roof tops what Crean wouod ultimately become and he did just that. Archie wasn’t a unanimous favorite when he was hired either. Though a lot of ppl wanted him. I remember debating ppl on here and elsewhere that Archie isn’t in my top 5 candidates. His offensive system was bad imo. Slow and low scoring, reminding me of Bennett in a way but not as bad. And his defense gave up the 3 a lot. As we see still that doesn’t work in the modern game. I rooted for Archie to do well but he was in over his head and you could tell by his body language at his announcement. And then they got torched by Ft Wayne. May is different bc he can coach offense and putting the ball in the hoop is the hardest thing to do. The big question about May, is his defense. I think he has to bring a defensive specialist in to help him grow in that area to be successful at IU. If not he will end up being some version of Fran McCaffery at Iowa. Minus the explosive personality that we all laugh at Fran for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha It’s not uncommon for AD’s to call a meeting to tell a coach they aren’t meeting expectations so they can try and adjust. It’s no different than getting called in by a boss in any other industry. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm not one that thinks we should hire May and I think the version of Fran at Iowa is a good comp, but isn't Fran at Iowa with IU resources Tom Crean? So if may could find a bit more consistency than Crean that would likely be a really good tenure, yeah? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
