Bush League Coaching @ the End

Heck, the sportswriters voted IU a top 3 B1G team and ranked them.

There was actually a bunch of people here who stated that Woody was still coaching, so the team would underachieve. They were right by a mile.
I was foolish enough to think Woody would at least get them to the tourney, however when it started looking bad I quickly realized how foolish I was to think that.

BigTen tournament may be in jeopardy now… we’re only one game in the loss column ahead of the teams being excluded from the BTT.

Dolson had a great seat to view the incredible coaching decisions at the end.

This comment on Reddit is so $$$

Woodson drew up a great play there at the end. Sneaky clever set if you need the breakdown… Leal wasn’t doing much and Ballo is too short to be useful in such a situation. Send in two fresh guys but DONT tell them the play so we can use their natural creativity and ingenuity. Once the inbounder gets the ball, that’s when the magic starts. Send two guys to the corner ASAP (one to make the shot and the other to be in prime high five position following a hopeful go ahead basket), it’s the most versatile spot for a player. We execute the inbound perfectly. Next comes the shot and Woody knows that’s exactly the shot we want—Rice loves the fadeaway double-teamed turnaround corner three when you only need two points. He makes that 9 times out of 10 too and we were just so unlucky that it was the 1 time it doesn’t fall. Woody thought ahead in the off-chance of a miss though by subbing out Ballo for Goode(Goode is a far better rebounder, he should be able to clean up a miss). Annoyingly, bad bounce off that miss. Annoying outcome but grateful to have a coach that put us in the best position to win.

Sadly accurate and painfully hilarious...

Which leads to what this team has become on the floor: a joke.
 
Woody knows its over. The saddest part, he's doing the best he can. I have to imagine that behind the scenes there are serious conversations going on. Stepping down now or letting this go on. Which is the best to stop the bleeding in terms of legacy?

We've made every mistake a University can make hiring coaches. If we are still a serious program then we'll make a serious hire and not repeat past mistakes.
