I was trolling with that comment, but I recommend giving him 11 more months before turning on him. He’s had some success on the floor and in recruiting. It disappoints me that people are trashing one of the best players to ever play at IU coaching his alma mater. We should be rallying around him, not asking for Nate Oats.
I respect him as a player but he is not a good coach. We have one more year of him and then Iu will move on
There are a lot of NBA execs that would disagree with you, and I trust them more. If he sucks next year then fire him.
Why didn’t those execs hire him then? Career record below .500 plus this in college ball not the
Execs did hire him both as a player and coach. He was in the NBA for 40 years. He built a solid Hawks team from scratch, and took a lot of losses along the way. He is currently a college coach. IU can fire him today if they wanted. Amazing that I disagree with literally every point you made.
He has been average at best everywhere he has been
He was average at the highest level. He went down a level, and has had three seasons. 11 seed, 5 seed, no tournament so far. It’s not a firing situation.
should they just close the board down till July?
You’re on the verge of Willdog blind faith, you know this right?
He inherited TJD aka, not his recruit. Trace is the one and only reason he had an ounce of success. And the fallout after he left couldn’t be more apparent to a blind def mute.
You’re so cute, you must of blushed when he looked you right in the eye on senior night when he made the assumption that only the “true fans” were at that game. Forgetting all about the other 99.9% of alumni around the world. You’re an absolute twit apologist for an overpaid underachieving failure. Hey maybe you’re actually Woodless himself hiding behind that handle of yours. It only makes sense that you lash out on senior night because you spend more time reading these boards then you do coaching. Windbag, blowhard fool.
The error you are making is disconnecting TJD’s success from TJD’s coach.
I’m glad Woodson said that to expose unhinged, online maniacs like you.
He shot 38% in the B10. On volume. As a true freshman. I hope he shoots it a lot more.
I agree. They should have won one or two more games in the tournament.
Call me crazy, but I’d bet the house that you drive around in your car by yourself with the windows up wearing a corona “China virus” mask breathing in carbon monoxide on your way to the mailbox and back.
No need for the comma if you want to quote it correctly.
“Average at the highest level “. Can I use that one at my next sales mtg? That’s good.
I was meeting the poster halfway. If he was actually average, he would be working a nine to five with less than $1k in his bank account.
And I’ll continue to trend on the side of logic and redirect to your benevolent way of thieving statements and twisting them to support your own false argument. “The error you are making is disconnecting Woodsons success from Woodsons student athlete”.
Against the general working population, yes. Against NBA and college coaching population, he's working 9-3 with $1M in his bank account because we don't care about meritocracy.
I think he got a lot out of Phinisee, TJD, Race, JHS, and Ware, and I like what I am seeing out of Reneau, Galloway, and Mgbako. I think he had to settle for guys like Parker Stewart and Kopp early because he was new to college, so I’m curious to see what he can do with a full deck. My one knock on Woodson is Xavier. He should have got rid of him after the first crotch grab.
I believe timing is of utmost importance here. Get engagement with many targets. Can’t jump too soon unless you’re getting exactly what you want. However it’s a balance of keep many options but not committing before all available transfers are in play.
I connect TJD and Woodson as a work relationship, and give them both credit for what they accomplished together.
Ok so which college job was he trying to get? Is it possible that 66 year old millionaire didn’t really need a job anymore? Is it possible that IU struck out on other candidates so Woody was willing to coach his Alma mater to help rebuild the brand and make more appealing to the next candidate? Whether you believe it or not we are a severely damaged brand almost on the verge of no return. I still hope that the new approach in this new era can pay big dividends. Time will tell
Race card? Not sure what race has to do with nepotism in this scenario. Fact is that he appears to be overcompensated sans college experience and doesn't seem to have evidence of working overtime to get recruits. So far, I'm not exactly thrilled with his executive presence with the press and trashing fans.
Agree. We seem to have given players time to enter, seen what’s there, and there appears to be building momentum with names and visits as the staff decides who to try and go with. It seems fine in terms of timing.
