Dusty May….

May likely isn't leaving the state of Florida for another 3-5 years. Wife loves it down there in and all three of his kids have essentially been raised in that area of the country and they aren't going to relocate until they're all grown. If May proves last year wasn't a fluke and really elevates FAU the next couple of seasons he's definitely worth a look. Hiring a guy because he went to the F4 one time and your team didn't is a very terrible strategy and rarely works out in the long run.

Pretty sure we have been in every early tournament bracket so far. The one guy we have coming in absolutely looks like the best shooter we have landed in a while. And both Leal and Galloway can and probably will return. Why wouldn’t they?
I would say that there is more to it than just the final 4 run. Indiana guy, winning at a tough place to win. His teams look well coached. He may not be the guy but I can watch Iu and see that Woody definitely isn’t
There you go again, saying “we’re about to miss the tournament” after 13 games is silly. I get you’re a very pessimistic fan, but that’s ridiculous.
That’s exactly what his mom said too. I was at my cousins house and she is friends with Dusty’s mom. Had no clue who she was. It clicked after a few days. I wasn’t paying attention. My brother said you know who that is?
I am with several of you who are baffled about the replace Woody talk. We were so bad when he took over. We haven’t been a consistently good program since the mid 90s. Did we expect to be at the Kansas level by year 3?
Woodson won 21 games in year 1 and 23 in year 2 with major injuries to two starters. Without those injuries he might have won the Big Ten in year 2.
Then we lose 6 main rotation guys including 4 starters (2 to the NBA). Many posters talked about how terrible this year would be because Woodson couldn’t recruit or coach. I believe a couple posters said we would be lucky to win 10 games. Yet Woodson retooled our whole roster. And even with another injury to a starter we sit at 10-3 and look to be on our way to yet another 20 win season. For context the last time IU had 3 straight 20 win seasons was 20 years ago.
Anyone who things Woodson should be fired right now is an absolute idiot and should lose posting rights.

How many times are you guys going to post that? The season isn’t over and if IU makes the tournament I expect to see a crow feast here.
It’s a great thing that you aren’t the AD or have any influence over the AD.
Another guy hired off a fluke F4 run. He's a lesser version of Tom Crean. He hasn't made it past the first weekend of the tournament since he made the F4 at VCU in 2011. What's Shaka have that Woodson doesn't other than being a proven tourney fraud?
We have no quality wins. Unless we boat race the big ten and go 13-7 14-6 we're on the bubble. IU is 87 in Kenpom that is alot of ground to make up.
Every game is winnable. It’s unlikely IU will win them all, but there isn’t a game on the schedule that isn’t winnable. This is a fact. A prediction on how many IU wins is an opinion. You’d do well to learn the difference between facts and opinions.
I've never known the selection show to take place on January 2nd.
The
Currently sitting at 2-0 in conference with 18 to go and "we're about to miss the tournament". Man, what histrionics. Lol
Only 46, already has won over 25 games seven times. Been to a final four, won AP Coach the year won his conference in diffrent leagues.
He's got a 10+ year sample size of doing exactly what you want Woody fired for lol. He has one fluke run to the F4 and hasn't gotten out of the second weekend of the tournament since.
Apparently one of you can’t help posting it again.😏
It’s “a lot.” “Alot” is not a word.
It’s plain logical English and it probably confuses you. Problem is I don’t speak gibberish. Sorry.
13 by whom? ESPN? I didn't realize ESPN picked the teams. There's 2/3 of the season left to be played for crying out loud. Getting butt hurt and calling for the head coach to be fired over a mock bracket two months before the tournament starts is ludicrous.
I'm not comparing Woodson and Shaka. It's just crazy that you would want to fire Woodson because he doesn't win in the tournament and then turn around and hire a guy like Shaka Smart who is literally 3-9 in the NCAAT the last 12 seasons.
Go get a blanket or snuggy and cry yourself to sleep when your favorite coach gets
Coach who has Indiana beat for the committee to put Indiana in the tournament. Morehead State? Wright State? Kensaw State? Army? We lost by a combined 52 points to Uconn, Kansas, and Auburn.
Maybe I’m naive in thinking the draw of IU brings more talent in for him at IU and he is able to coach them up. Crean, Archie and Woody all have been able to land 5 star talent but just haven’t been able to recruit and develop complete teams.
Did you mean to type a full sentence in response to my post, or do you think that is a full sentence?
We've played 13 games you dipshit.
Like I said, there's a reason why the field is announced in mid-March and not early January. I'm going to wait until we finish playing our 18 regular season games + the BTT before concluding their tournament fate. I bet the committee will do the same also.
