I hope they’re enjoying it. Great call guys. Let this be a reminder you know nothing about running a bball program.His enablers can’t escape some measure of blame. The BOT and the money guys set up this horror show..

I meant that in the context of his reported rejection of a buyout offer last yearHe isn't "stubbornly hanging on". He is in the middle of the frigging season. If they had somehow won tonight, he'd have a lot to look forward to.
Fify. AgreedHe should be let go yesterday . The longer this goes on the worse its going to get. Have some pride and keep your legacy as a player in tact.
He takes zero responsibility for the situation IU finds itself in. It’s either the players or injuries or anything else but his and the fools he hired lack of coaching acumen. At some point when a man continues to experience defeat and poor results in life, you have to question yourself and accept some responsibility.After listening to CMWs press conference, It’s clear to me that he has no idea how to fix this clusterf! Puts a lot of blame on them not having MR playing. MR out is not the reason this team is getting blown out by 30! He is in way over his head!
I don't think he is getting it done but even if true (rejection of a buyout), I can see why he felt he had a decent shot to correct some of last year's problems.I meant that in the context of his reported rejection of a buyout offer last year
It’s the tragedy that’s become IU basketball, starting with the firing of our HOF coach, followed by the cheating scandal and midseason firing of Kelvin Sampson.Totally agree. And bothers me some that many chanting probably never saw him play or have any appreciation for him as an IU player. No joy in this whatsoever.
Nope. He actually says : "It's on me. I gotta get them over the hump. They took good shots, they just didn't fall". He says that just about every time they lose. He constantly tries to take responsibility for losing. You can't ask someone who can't do it to do what he cannot. That's Dolson's job.He takes zero responsibility for the situation IU finds itself in. It’s either the players or injuries or anything else but his and the fools he hired lack of coaching acumen.

and yet Sampson still survives. Apologies to John Adams this time.It’s the tragedy that’s become IU basketball, starting with the firing of our HOF coach, followed by the cheating scandal and midseason firing of Kelvin Sampson.
Dolson was not involved in picking Woodson or the idiots sitting next to him. WTFNope. He actually says : "It's on me. I gotta get them over the hump. They took good shots, they just didn't fall".

It isn't Woodson's job to give up in the middle of the season. In fact, he is the only former player who can probably say he single handedly elevated his team to a conference title when things were bleak.
Dolson is at fault if he can't get the program going. And the timing is March unless Woodson loses control of the team.
I wonder what it would look like if he "lost control of the team?" 60 points in a half? Technicals for fighting? Lack of hustle? Do they have to commit felonies?And the timing is March unless Woodson loses control of the team.
Not sure who said that, but that sums up the problem quite nicely for this team. Who goes out in any sport, takes an ass whoopin like that, and has a response such as this? A fricking loser! That’s who…"I do gotta make something very clear, adversity is part of sports, and for those of you who are so quick to give up and call for quits and everything, there's a reason that you guys aren't coaches. So relax. There's no other coach in the country that I would trust with anything in my life than coach Woodson, and there's no other university I'd want to represent. So we're gonna run it back, but you guys gotta chill."
Nah, stick a fork in this shit.
Never been on a team that had a bad season?Not sure who said that, but that sums up the problem quite nicely for this team. Who goes out in any sport, takes an ass whoopin like that, and has a response such as this? A fricking loser! That’s who…
IU just needs Carlyle to easily average those 13+ ppg to get them out of this mess!His name is Woodson, he was an IU hotshot
But that was 45 years ago when IU used to have a glow
Now we see a fire, another dumpster fire but not for Woodson, the little coach that could
Still focusing on the hump, while the team takes a dump
Enough of that, apologies to Barry Manilow.
That will get us within 12 the last two games.IU just needs Carlyle to easily average those 13+ ppg to get them out of this mess!
Not on this pay scale-unfortunately. I would have been overjoyed with minimum wage but then we didn’t play for the money.Never been on a team that had a bad season?
Yep but do they care though.His enablers can’t escape some measure of blame. The BOT and the money guys set up this horror show..
I am sure they don’t enjoy terrible publicity that makes them look foolish and complicit with the descent of the IU basketball tradition. If this had all been blamed on Dolson by the fanbase and in the media then not so uncomfortable.Yep but do they care though.
Agreed- that senior day last season was as tone deaf a performance as I can recall by Woody and Leal both. Each lost a lot of folks’ support that afternoon.If it was the student section then none of them saw him play. They only know the coach.
Woodson has brought this on himself with his condescending comment about true fans, his arrogance on parade time after time.
If his legacy is destroyed then he only has to look in the mirror to see what caused it.
He should of never been given the job.I really hate to see that happen to an IU legend but certainly understandable

Minor dust up between Luke Goode and Illinois kid on baseline. Players gathered and Ballo jumped up over the group to push the Illinois kid. Ballo given a flagrant 2 and our PG Rice got a technical. The main concern is if Ballo gets suspended for Friday game. I think Woody looking for excuses now- thank the Lord Louisville happened and we had full roster.What did I miss?
Hummel didn’t think Ballo would have to sit for OSU once he saw the replay that it was a shove with an open hand and not a closed fist. Thankfully the melee didn’t escalate out of frustration into a Pacer-like brawl led by Ron Artest.Minor dust up between Luke Goode and Illinois kid on baseline.

Ron Artest was wound pretty tight.Hummel didn’t think Ballo would have to sit for OSU once he saw the replay that it was a shove with an open hand and not a closed fist. Thankfully the melee didn’t escalate out of frustration into a Pacer-like brawl led by Ron Artest.
When he was at the shooting range they used to say he was “triggered”. Likewise, when easily offended during political discussions.Ron Artest was wound pretty tight.
There’s no joy but he’s been an arrogant prick.Totally agree. And bothers me some that many chanting probably never saw him play or have any appreciation for him as an IU player. No joy in this whatsoever.
I have no problem with someone being an arrogant prick….but you have to earn thatThere’s no joy but he’s been an arrogant prick.
You mean we don’t already? It’s like pack line on steroids out there. Hell the 7 footer doesn’t even jump and was wide open all game.Was Archie a better coach than CMW? Wonder how this team would look with that devastating pack-line defense! 🥴
I will concede this point. I guess if he doesn't care about his IU legacy, we shouldn't either.There’s no joy but he’s been an arrogant prick.
