Dusty May….

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.
These guys aren’t thinkers, they’re just emotional whiners. They’re like toddlers.

I not firing Woodson right now the season must play out but my opinion is that we miss the tournament and we go into year four with another rebuild year looming and needing to add alot of transfers why not start over with May who will be the hottest coaching candidate and you know Louisville will try and get. Mike is 66 going to be 67 next season what is the point.
 
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.
Are you kidding me? Shaka had ridiculous talent at Texas. Multiple 5 stars and several first round draft picks. He was there 6 years. He didn't win a single NCAA tournament game. He was a colossal failure after being hailed as a can't miss coach "BeCAuSe HE MAdE THe FInAl FOuR".
 
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.
How about Mich on the road. That is currently a Q2 win but was Q1 a week ago and could be again. We have zero losses to teams currently ranked outside the top 13 in NET rankings. If we win 11-12 more games with no bad losses we will be in.
 
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.


Your in denial. It's ok.. Your old school don't believe in numbers.

Lol your saying Indiana is going 14-6 no way I would delete my amount before that happens.
 
How may Final fours has Mike Woodson went to? How many sweet sixteens? Want to predict one this season? Or next year when half our rosters will be gone?
Whining and wallowing in pessimism must be a miserable way to get through a basketball season.

Does the nd in your handle stand for Notre Dame?
 
Dude your crazy 9 or 10 is not happening with us getting in we have no quality wins.
10 more wins with 2 more in the BTT almost certainly puts us in with 22 total wins. Some of those will likely be quality wins.

When was the last time a 21-22 win Big Ten team didn’t make the tournament? I think for Indiana it was 1979. Maybe you are the one who is crazy.

#87 Kenpom 11 big teams ahead of us. RPI #88
KenPom will change 100 different times between now and mid-March, especially if IU keeps winning. The last time IU won the B10 they were 10-3 at this juncture of the season with a single semi decent neutral court win against ND. They had a 20 point loss to Duke and went 1-2 in Maui with losses to Wake Forest and UNLV who finished the year 11-20 and 18-15 respectively.
 
You don’t think May could get more talent at Iu than he has at FAU?
I think its way to early to know, or have any high level of confidence, that he would. And then that he'd win big with them once he got them. Those 3 mediocre years are a huge red flag, or should be. The more distance and success he puts between himself and those 3 years, the more of a hot commodity he'll be.

Too soon for an IU hire, in my opinion. But certainly someone to establish dialogues with if he has another year like last year.
 
It’s plain logical English and it probably confuses you. Problem is I don’t speak gibberish. Sorry.
I didnt speak gibberish. I responded to you saying we have “10 wins” and I responded

He is 46…you dont think he will get better? Also if he is a failure who is the coaches you would want?

He took over a FAU program that the prior coach was 39-84. Then in May’s first two years had winning record.

How do you know if you're winning or losing this argument, since the guys you're arguing with keep responding in complete gibberish?

Meanwhile Woodson is building a repution of sending players to the NBA. That will attract high talent like almost nothing else.

You’re not following the conversation. You said we had 10 wins and asked if I’d seen the schedule. My response is to that. It’s in plain logical English rather than gibberish so you didn’t understand.

He also starting to get the rep for developing bigs. You get a 3-4 year project into a situation like TJD is like manufacturing gold. Malik is that guy too. He’s developing very nicely so far. Oh and anyone quoting any ESPN analyst is a doof…they have Edey as a lottery pick right now. Lol

How old was Archie Miller when we hired him? Did he get better?

I wish like hell that was the case, but I got news for ya. It’s not 1987 anymore and Bob Knight isn’t walking through the door. Tom Crean won multiple BIG titles and led us to multiple sweet sixteens. He had his flaws and I understand why IU decided to move on. But the guy we hired set our program back 4 years. And Woodson his been trying to fix that mess. Woodson isn’t an elite college coach, I’ll give you that much. Indiana just isn’t that attractive of a job anymore. If it was, we’d have one.
Bull

Shit!

Guess UConn had better luck than us
Truth be told there is a lot of luck involved in it. Most thought the Archie hire was good. It turned out it wasn’t. But ultimately that’s why I’m not in favor of firing a guy that took over a dumpster fire, made the tournament both years along with 20 wins seasons, and is in the middle of his 3rd season.

You didn’t graduate from IU, did you?

You would surely know the difference between “your” and “you’re” if you did.
Please don’t question posters for grade school dropout grammar and spelling. Half the mods here can’t put a simple sentence together, yet swear they are university grads. It’s the damnedest thing I’ve ever seen.
