Fife Gone

My first inclination was that Fife was a Judas leaking negative information about Woodson to Rabjohns and Dakich. If that’s right, I absolutely believe that he should have been fired and also support the way that it was done. Now that this political angle has been injected into it though…I don’t know what to think anymore. It’s very disturbing. Hopefully this will get clarified with time.
And for those who think that the firing was done harshly (I was one of those initially, but no longer) - if much of what has been reported is true, then Fife should be thankful that it wasn’t done during the season. That would have been a much worse look for him.

This thread is helpful in catching up.

I missed a couple days as I was traveling.

I thought Rabjohns was the guy that everyone here loved to diss, that he had little credibility (here). I guess I misunderstood as he now seems to have reached celebrity status and now he is one of the most reliable places to get the true facts on things.

so, if I am understanding things Dakich and Rabjohns are enemies of the program, but the difference is that everything that Rabjohns posted is a fact, and everything Dakich says is just to destroy IU basketball and generate attention to himself?

And all along Fife was evil, and working with those two to destroy IU basketball and undermine our head coach?

Just trying to keep up.

Last I heard Fife was an IU legend, the heir apparent, and what Dolson did was a “master stroke” assembling the best coaching staff in the conference. Man, things changed quickly here.
 
So you both like hanging with 18-20 year olds kinda weird

I will always be attracted to 18-25 year old women, not gonna lie. Fortunately for me I still look relatively young and enough good looking college girls still have interest in me. Yes, I 100% like hanging out with 20 year old college girls. The last one I hung out with was 22. God bless America.

This is a really bad look for Woodson. Firing assistant coaches is usually a last ditch move to buy another season by a head coach.

And be honest, if a similar situation were playing out at another major program, the general consensus would be that coach has a year….maybe two left.

Not to derail this thread, but the correct answer is 30. Women are at the top of their game at 30.

Badass
 
I didn’t say I did, dumbass. The Peegs guys reported it, and everything has been spot on. Ya on his way out.

okay, Scoop! You reported an impending VOLUNTARY MASS EXODUS of players and coaches at the end of the season due to season failure and constant infighting. You claimed we were seeing that dysfunction on the floor. You claimed lots of dumb shit in post after post (after post after post) right after losses. It was dumb. Oddly, your reporting went cold right after wins. Weird.

So far, one player who never played will prob leave and one coach got fired.

so what’s your next angle, Scoop? I imagine a few more kids are gone. Want to say dumb shit in advance about those too?
 
Sober up man. I havent seen where he is an assistant at IU? Tell me just WTF an IU fanboy is anyway? A fan of the team? I doubt your testicles have even dropped in yet. Talking shit about some pretty big names in IU aren't going to get you far. If and when he is ever an assisant and fails then have at it. For now STFU
Lol no I will be very vocal about those coaching IU that are completely unqualified. Wittman is one of those. We will see what plays out.
 
I'm not in disagreement , not sure why Randy would want to likely doesnt need the money as he strikes me as someone that took care of himself. My observations was more the 29 YO poster who apparently has no clue calling Randy Dogshit and an irrelevant person
Lol I’ve seen RW coach. His time as a player is irrelevant.

There will be at least 5 more players from last years team that will be gone. Ya is headed to Louisville.

Yep he went from the hier apparent to the most hated man in Indiana in a matter of hours and fatjohns is now a legend . As far as rabjohns he so called scoop he charges money for was basically already on message boards months ago. I read rumors of Fife leaving at least well over a month ago I was just told quote " those are crazy internet rumors' but now that fatjohns repeated the same line it became gospel. As far as Dolson he just seems to be a poor mans Fred Glass with his not so genius stroke.
 
Given that Woody will most likely want to replace Dane with a guy who can potentially recruit the midwest, I wouldn't be surprised if Woody promoted Brian Walsh to Assistant Coach.

Some information about Brian:

-Pennsylvania native (31 years old)
-Played at Xavier & Akron
-Great rapport with players
-Prior to IU, Walsh worked as Assistant Director of Basketball Operations for one year and graduate assistant for two years at Dayton
-Worked as Director of Basketball Operations under Archie for 4 years
-Woody promoted Brian Walsh to Team and Recruiting Coordinator
-Woody and recruits have praised Brian's role on many occasions

Apparently, Walsh was Gabe Cupps lead recruiter, with Yas assisting. So I guess that means that Walsh signed more recruits than Fife. I thought Gabe Cupps comments were interesting: "Brian Walsh has been talking to me the most but Mike Woodson texts and calls me every so often. I took a visit over there with my teammate Reed Sheppard last month. I like how they are a basketball school and I love the people who are around it. Brian Walsh has done a great job of recruiting me and has been on me for a while. I really take notice of how long he has been recruiting me and how much effort he has put in. I also really like how Coach Woodson operates and how he talks to me. He comes across as a humble, yet confident guy who wants to bring Indiana basketball back. I think that is a cool thing they have to offer."

"Coach Walsh has done an amazing job. I don’t think that I would be in the position I’m in if he wasn’t loyal to thinking that I’m a good player and bringing my name across Coach Woodson’s desk. I owe a lot of credit to him that I’m able to make this decision now because he was the one who introduced me to Coach Woodson, and everything happened from there."

Negative: After Archie was fired, Walsh assumed he would be fired too, and began selling all of his IU gear on Facebook Marketplace. LOL!
 
She did not bring it up. Believe it was first brought up by Cav or Victor. At any rate, it is part of the story and should be fair game for discussion. Saying you feel bad for her students seems way more out of line in than anything she has said
Appreciate this. He constantly feels the need to stalk me and talk smack.

Did rabjohns say what these politics or conspiracy theories were? She assumes it was right wing stuff obviously or her comment would have been much different. You should not talk politics period to players but she had to throw her little jab in cause she assumes somehow that fife isnt a left winger. That's a fact.
Can you tell me what specifically there is a jab ? And I actually do know Fife’s politics…
 
LOL. You definitely run in the wrong circles.
Not true at all. By an objective standard 30 would peg you as a fan for Mrs beauty pageants rather than Miss. Look at the ages of Miss Universe winners as an example. If you are satisfied by the Mrs age range then more power to you. I know a guy who I think his biggest gift in life is seeing beauty in a women that absolutely no one else can see. I don't envy him at all but respect that he has a God given ability I just don't have.
 
I was replying to another poster who said that Wittman would increase our recruiting cred. Please try to keep up.
Of course Wittman knows X and O better than Fife. And I would be fine with Wittman as an assistant.

Man you seem really hurt by this.
 
And that’s what they told Fife.


Politics is one thing.

Craziness is another.

Like African Americans need a lecture from Dane Fife on paranoid conspiracies? Or anybody?

I'm glad he's gone. If he's down that rabbit hole, tells me he's spending way too much time and energy on horse shit websites and chat rooms, screaming into the echo chamber of white grievances. And I'm sure he's a hoot on the recruiting trail. No wonder he didn't get anybody. He's nuts!

This country's lost its mind.
 
Not sure I see this as a big deal. Fife doesn't want to be here and Woodson doesn't want him...well, yeah. If he is our next coach, he can still return to make that happen.

What does Dane Fife have to do with the rest of the country? You are now turning this into a white vs black thing it seems maybe you need to head on over to the water cooler you will find alot of friends over there who will eat your crap up. But the rest of us do not need to read your lelftist political drool on the basketball board.

If that was the issue, political talk and conspiracy theories, then it belongs here, not on the WC. THAT is part of the problem. And if you think that that narrative or right wing “political drool” sells with recruits or their parents, then you might want to reassess what you think you know about players and their parents these days.
What have the players said about him leaving? I’ll wait.

If you feel the need to talk about it on this board it will turn into nothing but a political discussion with people going after each other. But by all means go for it.
 
A source on BTB.
As long as it was not rabjohns that guy is the last to know. Certian sources on the message boards have more info than him and should actually be the ones being paid not him. Still mind blowing to me he can make a living doing this as he is not good at his job.
 
This isnt the gotcha you think it is. In circumstances where this might be true, it’s always about the employer trying to avoid acknowledging a pattern of past issues with others and/or keep a lid on a history of ignoring the accused abusers behavior.

Well if a 29 year old is saying that what do you think a 16 year old would say? Nobody cares about Randy Whittman and would be considered a terrible hire for anyone under 70 years old.

the pre-rage here is good times. Jeeebus
