Can't blame Mullins, he picked a known winner and a legit chance at a national title. IU can't compete with that right now.
Anyone actually think we'll get Mullins?
- Thread starter Bippy
- Start date
The people not allowing it won’t be in power much longer. Furgeson and Buckner.
can we all just agree, once and for all, that he-who-shall-not-be named is never going to coach at IU? And then stop mentioning his name in these 'what's next for us' discussions?
That shipped sailed over a decade ago. We had a slim chance, an opening, during CTC's 2nd-3rd year floundering, but signing Cody gave him a reprieve, and that was that.
Supposedly that Stevens stuff isn’t true. At this point nobody really knows. Let’s see what Dolson gets done in a couple of years. Hey!!! We got a football program now!!!!
And only football content going forward on this site! IU = Football school now. Women's hoops and football have the best of the best! That once proud machine of a basketball program no longer exist thanks to the losers who run the BOT.
I don’t think Woodson, at his age, was ever perceived as anything other than a hopeful quick fix to right this shit…excuse me, SHIP with his Bob Knight and NBA connections. It’s still in slow sink from my perspective, on distant shore.
I guess define underachieving. Buckner and Co will no doubt find a 3-5 B1G finish and a S16 to be a roaring success.
Never in my lifetime did I imagine IU would morph from a basketball school to one of football dominance…that is, until now as a 63 year follower, still counting.
Let’s face it, a 3-5 B1G finish with a S16 would find us all giddy at this point of our 25 year post-Knight demise.
I think it's now safe to conclude that you're the latest incarnation of Ducati, Twin Degrees, etc.
Would be underachieving once again given that we clearly have the best roster in the league along with an easy schedule.
A Sweet Sixteen will save Woodson. Anything less and I expect he will be pushed out. And I don’t expect IU to make the Sweet Sixteen. The talent is there, the coaching is not.

It’s a wild choice to be obsessed with IU nearly everyday for so many years.
As we know, best rosters don’t always equate to best team. Maybe we should just hope this roster is so talented with 6 players averaging over 10 pts/game, even Mike can’t screw it up.
Basketball expectations are always high at IU, thanks to RMK. It’s been the demise of many IU coaches this past quarter century and still counting.
How many rabbits can Woody keep pulling from beneath his top hat before the bunnies run out, figuratively speaking?
Woody has done nothing to win over the coaches in Indiana or Indy elite.
Portal will be only way Woody recruits well, he isn’t a relationship guy at all.
Mental and physical energy is required to establish and maintain those relationships. Immersed in the NBA culture, doors are opened for you. In the college game, the hungry succeed.
