4 of IU’s 5 starters look like they are playing pick up ball

[TyWebbIU]

Rice, Gallo, MBako and Renea all look lazy as hell to me. They show no emotion out there. It looks like they are all playing in a pick up game on Sunday morning after having been out all night drinking.
They have no discipline. They appear to have no drive. They really look like they couldn’t care less. As Julius said on Remember the Titans, “attitude reflect leadership”.

I’d start Carlyle, Leal, Tucker, Goode and Ballo for the time being. The others look like losers out there. Mostly because Woodson allows it.

100%. Ass meets bench…

The players have adopted the same attitude of the head coach...."Relax..you're making money...and no one really expects that much out of you anyway.....just enjoy the ride, and don't rock the boat". The head coach is a grifter....and the players are getting grifting lessons....not basketball lessons.

Exactly. It all starts at the top.

My thought was RMK would have had some of those guys running the stairs at Assembly Hall after that game. And probably cleaning up all the spilled popcorn too.

6 million dollars for this roster. Like Woodson they grifted stupid boosters. Our boosters aren't very smart.

Can we fire all these guys and get our money back or are we stuck?

Our boosters are smart. They just allowed heart to get in the way of their best judgement.

Many of these players would never have been recruited by RMK.

Are you describing boosters or the BOT?

52 seconds. That's all it took for him to say, "As the head coach, I gotta get them over the hump." Geez, whose gonna get him over the hump?

Our boosters are smart enough to know you can't be rash when making multi-million dollar executive leadership decisions, and that sometimes coming to the best resolution takes some time and requires a little pain. Unless he surprises everyone and does well in the B1G and makes a nice tourney run, he's gone.

Yes, you've been asleep through all of this.

NIL has erased the idea winning is important. Money is important. If you happen to win, that's great too but not the primary concern. The seniors should be disgusted with the idea this is how they'll go out.

Where's the reports of a players only meeting? Where's the change to playing time for those not willing to go 100% or to play at a higher level? Where's any change to the gameplan, starting lineup, rotation, staffing, or any other steps to make this team better and accountable?

What is IU doing to show their fans who pay to support them that anything is being done to "fix it"?

I have a question for you and anyone else. Does large amounts of NIL money create weakness? PU doesn't have a lot and they appear to be stronger than IU.

You just described the players on the court and the coaches on the bench and me watching

Money with no expectations? That’s been shown throughout history to be an absolute failure of a policy. Add to that, giving it to kids. It’s why trusts are setup to begin payouts at 21, 25, 30. This is not rocket science but the idiots in charge don’t seem to care.

2m comes from the lower 90% of contributions. Then there's the 6m from a couple of people. Unfortunately this will play itself out and I'm putting my money on Pearl and May as the frontrunners.
