He honestly had the gall to sit there and say the team is still young “and trying to figure each other out”. How the hell are you still trying to figure out who you are 24 games into the season?!?!?
Anyone watch Woodys press conference?
- Thread starter Wiedersehen
- Start date
- We're still young (2 freshmen starters, 1 of whom shouldn't start IMO -Else plenty of 3&4 year players)
- We have to worker harder and build as a team (Game 24 of saying this)
- We miss X, we need his leadership (Um, what?)
- Ware played a helluva game (I actually think Sparks played as well as Ware did and neither were great)
Because apparently it's the kids job to figure something out, not his.
Probably cause he has no other excuses to use what is he supposed to say honestly. He has to at least pretend like all is well. No coaches anymore are like knight and will come out and say my team stunk it up and this is terrible.
"Mannn I'm just here for these kids!"
No, you were in it for the $$$ to fund your retirement. Thats cool, but you gotta F off after this ncaa tournament is over.
I wish Coach Knight could see Woodson running along and Chris Beard coming in clearly!
I thought Bailey had a very good Senior season. If memory serves, his scoring jumped way up because he had been setting up guys like Calbert etc. I don't remember how many assists he averaged.
I also “liked” his line, “We have seven games left and anything can happen”. Yes, Mike, anything can, but only because anything always does and this “anything” you speak of in hopeful fantasy includes your ass being fired. Is it time for Pam Whitten to reinstitute IU’s infamous Zero Tolerance Policy, not too much unlike Delta houses’s Double Secret Probation?
He needs to retire
He’s already done that. Having been tired once before, he needs to re-retire his tire.
Two ways to quit: Quit and stay....or quit and leave. Woodson chose the former. The condition of IU basketball in 2024 is a disgrace. The university itself is responsible for it. They get all the cash while providing no results in return. Its a great deal if you can manage those terms. As long as the alums and fans are willing to fund this farce.....it will continue.
He was avg like 23-25 in pre conf. Big10 season and regular season end he was at 19.6. And thats with the stomach problems he had the last few weeks.
What we’re seeing today is the culmination of Myles Brand’s administrative plan to de-emphasis athletics in favor of academics. It’s why we often hear today Indiana University being referred to as the “Stanford of the Mid-west.” If you haven’t heard these words, over at the ENT clinic (earwax, boogers and spit) they yell that they need to curette the cerumen impaction out of your auditory canal and only try this at home using nothing sharper than your elbow. Their waiting room is full.
Love him or not, as a Purdue fan, Knight's "love" of the media was one of his best qualities.
Damon had an upset tummy? Too much Mexican? Do the annals of IU Basketball History need an addendum?
Woodson is having a hard time allowing his ego to accept that this job was harder than he thought it would be.
Stanford of the mid-west, now that's a doozy, made me laugh
It's true, Man. Call your closest bored, certified ENT specialist Monday morning. He'll have you hearing it, too, by that afternoon!
Woodson built a team in year one to beat one of Purdue’s best teams in history. Then he beat them twice last year. This year it’s a rebuilt roster with young McDonalds all Americans. He’s doing fine.
How many NCAA tournament games has he won? 1!!!!
As much as we rag on Purdue’s lack of NCAA success, they’ve still been to the sweet 16 like 4 times in the last 6 years, including an elite 8.
Woodson is grossly falling further behind our rival and building teams from the portal isn’t going to get the job done here.
Of course he’s fine.. it’s Indiana!
Yeah, except we don't have the academics either. Those morons have run everything into the ground over there.
Are you being serious?
When IU was good and winning B1G titles and making tourney runs, PU fans would talk up their head to head record. It was pathetic. Now we do it.
Brand.. The kind of ethical standards that allow you to date and marry your grad student. F that guy, we were a step ladder to the job he really wanted.

Myles Brand, I remember the cartoon printed when he retired/left Indiana. Showed him walking away, saying smugly "My work here is done." And in the background behind him the IU campus was in flames. The best description of his tenure I've still ever seen.
I think if the B1G has a 'Stanford of the Midwest', it's Michigan. Maybe Northwestern.

This is Purdue’s year (again), and they should focus on their job of winning the national championship instead of Edey shooting threes and running up the score on a rebuilt Indiana team. They are losers. We will be good next year and will outmatch Purdue at all five positions.
I just about fell off my couch. Brand should have been sued for malpractice and fired. He didn’t improve anything at IU.
How would that exactly happen with the likely future IU roster? Not to mention that Woody is likely to be coaching this team next year.
Yes, but IU is a leader in diversity, equality and inclusion. Shouldn't that be worth something during this administration of woeful...excuse me, WOKEfulness?
I saved an article in the IDS (now the IWS? (Indiana Weekly Student) printed several years ago. IU was offering a class in Grade Surprise Phenomenon. I shit you, not! It instructed students how to deal with the "trauma" of getting a course grade lower than what you thought deserved. Maybe the Indiana Weakly Student would be as appropriate. Apparently, on your way to this class you could stop off at a designated "safe place" for free hot chocolate and cookies to ameliorate your inner angst over the reality of life under a newly elected Trump administration.
Can it be long before we see "Myles Brand lives!" written on the bathroom stalls and class room halls? Next time I eat a Strom at Nicks I might have to take along a Magic Marker of indelible ink. You'll know abraxis and Kilroy were here and he's had his sandwich, washed down in a red buffalo-embossed glass jar...a PBR of good "head" the cute, IU coed "hands" me before receiving my impressive "tip" for her service. No one ever walks out of Nick's without a grin, and this one's gonna be my "big cheesy," shit-eat'n grin, the kind that make's 'em want to wipe that face!
I can't tell you how many times growing up I heard someone tell me to wipe that shit-eat'n grin off your face, (abraxis). Other times they'd look at me and break out in song, "You got the cutest, little baby-face." They never continued the song to its fruition. I always thought that odd. Needless to say, three days before my official retirement, I quite shaving and haven't since. The other day I ran into someone I hadn't seen for awhile. He told me I look more like Grizzly Adams every time he sees me. When one reaches 73 tomorrow, you weigh every comment on scales when it comes to comments about your personal appearance. So after self-deliberation void of any length, I thanked him for the compliment and he probably wondered why. In walk away, I turned around for one last grin, not needing to grin him any longer. It was at that moment, he in wonder no wong...excuse me longer, the truth that was spoken.
Wife told me the other day I was starting to smell like an old man. People wonder why I've gone quiet...shy man that I am. Sadly, I'm not kidding so I just thought if I could help someone... an honest inkling of the state of being left coming, it wouldn't shock those in drop between her knees never coming.
As bad as they are in this season come undone, I hate to wait 8 days before another one, this next one finally coming. "Whew!" I needed that and "Amen" said never hurt, that, too.
This one will someday be filed under "Post-Covid Mental States", sub-category "Grandiose Delusions" the current generation's coming Grand Illusions of Liam I Am...
...out revisited, the experiment"s never ceasing, some not getting.
Mike, you should be out recruiting or reading a book about how to run an offense, not posting on a fan forum
I appreciate what Woodson has done. These are tough times and at all the stores in town the IU stuff is marked way down.
He was a 2nd team NABC All-American and 3rd team in the AP.
He was an excellent college basketball player and it was mostly clearly demonstrated his senior year.
That season a number of players had some injury issues and IU was not nearly at 100% going into the tourney. They still made the S16 but were not full strength in that loss to Bill Curley, etc. I'm sure you remember.
He's lost and over his head. I would say what I really think, but I won't.
Man what are you smoking? You know it isn't legal in Indiana yet?
You REALLY think all the IU players you mentioned will be here next year?
If you said yes, then maybe you are not high but just delusional!
