5fouls Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 3 hours ago, BGleas said: Amongst many other things, that is the problem with keeping him another year. Where does this end next season? How bad does it have to get next season to fire him? If he squeaks into the play-in round or say a 10 seed in March, is that "improvement" and Woodson and Buckner try to sell it was a "get right" year and he now has things heading in the right direction? Where does this end? If Woodson is here next season, the Hoosiers aren't squeaking into the BTT, let alone the NCAA. It will seriously be on par with Crean's first year or UL last season. There will be 1-2 current players, at most, that will stick around, and the roster additions will be from Quad 4 level environments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either graduating, transferring or going pro/moving on. 10+ scholarship openings. What could go wrong? i hope they all leave. Sparks is the only one that stays. he used his free transfer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCHoosier32 Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 i wasn't upset when we got rid of Crean, but the man embraced Hoosier tradition and toughed out a terrible situation to get us to a #1 ranking. i totally agreed that he had maxed out where he could get us, but he did things right and there were some fun teams to watch. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think most if not all of us were ready for a change at the end of Crean's tenure. But the hate Crean gets from some IU fans is absolutely absurd. The guy was a great ambassador for IU basketball and the university as a whole. He's responsible for arguably the most successful 5-year run of Indiana Basketball since maybe the early 90's (that's 30 years, folks), and I'm not sure I've seen a coach handle a firing better in major college or pro sports. Crean still to this day regularly engages with IU fans on Twitter/X, posts about IU basketball and tags the fan base, etc., etc. 12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU should not have to settle for guys like Crean, Archie, Woodson, etc. Pearl would light this place up !! I see Crean's tenure as inconsistent, but trending in the wrong direction at the end. There were some good times though. Archie was a disaster. Woodson's first two years were acceptable, though not quite what we were hoping. This season, however, has reached a disaster level that makes Archie look like Coach of the Year. My main point though is that you are being unfair to Crean. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 4 hours ago, IUProfessor said: I agree wholeheartedly. Just saying I can understand why the deep pockets expect a bit of input when they've been called upon so frequently of late. Sounds like the deep pockets plus Buckner have the unholy alliance. It’s not their reluctance to pay the buyout so much as they are driving the bus to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Turtle Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 So Buckner hired Miller too. It's even worse than we thought. We have no athletic department leadership. Dolson should either resign in protest or explain to everybody what is happening. Total dysfunction. Only at Indiana. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbmhoosier Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 7 minutes ago, Indykev said: not even going to call him dumb....he is far past that point. You have to think Dolson is making calls and trying to find a way out of this mess. Mike simply doesn't have a clue. Never should've been hired. Next season will be worse and everyone knows it. Sadly Buckner and the Simon's want him back. The fans are completely done and there's no getting them back. They're already throwing out words like DEI hire and BLM all over Twitter. An even worse word is likely coming if Dolson doesn't move soon. A mass exodus is also coming and he can't recruit no matter how much NIL money we throw out. You're looking at an atmosphere this summer and next season that will make the RMK and Sampson firings seem like a day at Disneyland. Not sure what the solution is if Dolson really is shackled. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDB Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Woodson is a train wreck. He’s not the worst basketball coach in the country, but he is the worst at running a program. The level of apathy that this fanbase will be at if he gets a fourth year will be truly depressing. Our administration is lost if they can’t realize this. I can’t describe the level of frustration I have regarding the current state of the program. His comments in the media are making it so much more obvious he is not the guy, and if what Rabjohns and others are saying is true, he is lazy and not fully committed to being the Head Coach at Indiana. Hopefully we do the right thing. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't ask him how, because he hasn't figured it out yet. Still needs to conference with Whitman and Armond. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crean was the guy IU needed his first couple years, more for his energy rather than his coaching ability. By the time he was let go, it was obvious that he had taken IU as far as he was going to. His in-game coaching, roster construction, substitution patterns, etc (all still issues under this current staff) left a lot to be desired. I will admit that of the 3 coaches, Crean’s tenure had more positive moments. With that said, I still don’t think IU should ever have to settle for these types of coaches. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
