It blows my mind, that a basketball crazy state has such a poorly coached team. I mean really??
It’s Indiana
It’s Indiana
A cesspool of incompetence. Cignetti is new so he hasn’t been tainted by it…yet.

Oh, good grief. Would you give it a f****** rest!
The fairly new AD and Pres have shown that sports are important and they have accorded themselves well.
I have great faith that if Dolson is left alone he will elevate the Bball program.
From what we have seen the last eight yrs we should have kept Coach Crean longer.
Purdue is the state's flagship school in basketball. And has been for about.........25 years.
Question is..
Will he be left alone and not let the old gaurd push they're influence..
Sure be nice to hit a home run like Cignetti in basketball..
The CCC hired gives me hope that SD can make his own decision and tell the people that interfere to go to hell - of course in a diplomatic way!
The only thing dolson has proven when it comes to the bball program is that he is a puppet. Doesn’t have the gravitas to be left alone. More of the same on the way
I've got a feeling that's not the case anymore. Just my opinion but if I look at what transpired late last season, basically Woodson was given a no excuses proposition for this season. To me, again, just IMHO, the restructuring of the buyout is telling.
Well, since January Pete Yonkman has came in and become the unofficial GM and Owner of the basketball program. Buckner no longer has the room. The idea of firing Woody was there, but Pete intended on us having premium NIL resources and you can't fire a legacy coach after his 3rd year then give Bruce Pearl twice the NIL that Woody had, have him immediately succeed and give Woody/Buckner any reason to control the narrative after the fact. Pearl is Pete's guy and Pete's an advocate for Dolson so we have to gut through this year, Woody will "step down" with severance and we'll throw a lot of money at the Hebrew Hammer.
Crean was one of the great prep guys in the game. He can chop film with the best of them. Politics and the in game chess match, he was atrocious, but he is dead on with his diagnosis of our team.

We don’t know the inner workings. We don’t know who pushed hard for which coach. The forum has always felt it was Buckner who got Woodson hired and his contract renewed. May be accurate maybe not.
But to me, he shows an arrogant (“I am above you”) style, teams that seem poorly coached, players with off field issues, players ejected from games, and certainly less than desired results on the court.
If I held any sway I would be weighing the plus minus of firing now vs firing in March.

“During Monday’s press conference, Dolson credited Buckner with being a liaison in a search process that inevitably landed a longtime NBA coach and former Hoosier as the basketball team's next leader.”
“The man can coach,” Buckner said. "He’s not soft-spoken then. He’s very animated. He’s engaged in the game and with his players. And the official occasionally gets in the way. So he deals with that, as well.”
