I believe they are setting it up for Calbert to take over. Not saying it’s a good idea, but I believe the people who want it to remain RMK-era basketball want to hang onto the last thread.
Not even IU could be that stupid.

Due to an honset self appraisal of his impact on the IU basketball program. I agree unlikely he will and so an indication he is out to make a buck to the detriment of the IU basketball program.Of course he's not going to quit. Woodson seems like a guy with a pretty big ego. No way a guy like this just up and walks away. Why would he, especially when it appears he has some powerful people in his corner?
Fine he should resign on his own recognizing he has the program in worse shape than when he’s started.Call me delusional, If I am going to leave . I would leave on my terms, not because of disgruntled fans.
Especially when before the season, at the time of his raise, he extolled how great the recruiting was.I tend to agree. I'm in the minority in this thread, in that I agree with the decision to give him one more season, but I also think it's clear he won't quit however it goes. He's never quit any of his other jobs, good season or not.
His recent press conference responses also piss me off. "No comment" is not an acceptable response to reporters when they ask one of the highest paid public employees about an essential job function like recruiting.
IU administration - "Hold my beer..."Not even IU could be that stupid.
There’s no way.I believe they are setting it up for Calbert to take over. Not saying it’s a good idea, but I believe the people who want it to remain RMK-era basketball want to hang onto the last thread.
Most people would take the $4MM to do nothing.His salary with the Knicks was $4mil/yr. Any way you cut it he made good money in the NBA and I can’t believe he lives payday to payday. Assuming I wasn’t hurting for money and was further screwing my beloved Hoosiers then yes I would go without a second thought.

Let’s say you had $30 million in the bank and no debt and had investment income. You were hired to return IU to national contention as a life long IU fan and the 3 year result was what we have now and look to have next season. What would you do? Would you continue to milk the program or man up and retire?Most people would take the $4MM to do nothing.
I don’t see why they wouldn’t hit the portal. What do they have to lose? They know IU would keep them in a heartbeat. See what’s out there.When the season ends and Reneau and Mgbako hit the portal that might tip the scale to fire him. Remember last year when Dickerson left to Kansas I could see Reneau and Mgbsko leaving for a winner like Kansas or Duke.
Let's say you have $10 million and debt. Do you walk away from 4MM? Internet says his net worth is 12MMLet’s say you had $30 million in the bank and no debt and had investment income.

Well, the next season will likely be cancelled anywaysI think IU plans to take next year off from Basketball. Apparently it is just to hard to put together a team (good or bad) every stinking year. Take a break, regroup and try again in '25-'26.
Maybe then things will look better.
😀😀😀
don't sell them shortNot even IU could be that stupid.
Nor do you. He won't walk away from 4MM to do nothing. His net worth is closer to 10 than 30MMI found that number of 12 from 2 years ago and here is a recent estimate of $25 million. Net worth implies assets minus debt so not sure how you got from 12 million net worth to $10 million plus debt but understand you don’t want to answer the question.
And everyone in the world knows he's a lame-duck coach unless a miracle occursIt makes zero sense to keep him at IU. He has set the program up for failure in the future. He literally has no recruiting class and will lose at the least 4 guys.
Ware, X, Walker, MM.
Galloway, Leal possibly and not to mention he already had one open scholarship.
Program is in rough shape moving forward and IU decides to stick with him? Very odd move.
I believe you could add Gunn and Banks. Even Sparks might be included. Someone posted earlier that he could be looking at 7-10 open scholarships.It makes zero sense to keep him at IU.

Yep he has a wife and daughters, a frugal lifestyle generally doesn't mesh with that.Obviously none of us know anything about Woodson's finances, but I do know that big incomes generally end up supporting big lifestyles. And while $10M or $30M may seem like a King's Ransom to us, for guys used to pulling in multimillions per year it's probably not quite enough to support the lifestyle to which they've become accustomed to.
Greed?In my view if money isn’t a pressing issue but he stays then it indicates deeper character flaws.
A new coach would have to be a proven winner at some level.I believe they are setting it up for Calbert to take over. Not saying it’s a good idea, but I believe the people who want it to remain RMK-era basketball want to hang onto the last thread.
I would be quite surprised if Banks is back.I believe you could add Gunn and Banks. Even Sparks might be included. Someone posted earlier that he could be looking at 7-10 open scholarships.
And now as a probable lame duck what recruits will come after next year?I believe you could add Gunn and Banks. Even Sparks might be included. Someone posted earlier that he could be looking at 7-10 open scholarships.
close....You must either be related to Woody or to Quinn Buckner.
If that were to happen I'd never ever follow IU hoops (barely do now) ever ever again. And he is my 2nd alltime favorite Hoosier.I believe they are setting it up for Calbert to take over. Not saying it’s a good idea, but I believe the people who want it to remain RMK-era basketball want to hang onto the last thread.
How do you know , how many winsWe’d be lucky to get 10 wins next year with the potential roster we’re looking at.
My mom is dead, keep your fu***** words about her out of your shitty mouth. ass hole.Does your mom know about your computer use?
no to either. I did watch Buckner on TV when he was at ThornridgeHS.You must either be related to Woody or to Quinn Buckner.
“Team” suddenly being spelled with all “I’s”…. Hmmm.on my on terms, if I want to stay. I will stay. I have unfinished business.
That’s a crock of BS. No you wouldn’t. Nobody would.His salary with the Knicks was $4mil/yr. Any way you cut it he made good money in the NBA and I can’t believe he lives payday to payday. Assuming I wasn’t hurting for money and was further screwing my beloved Hoosiers then yes I would go without a second thought.
He holds a grudge cause he thinks he should have been hired earlier on cause he went to iu.Maybe he secretly still holds a grudge against IU for the way they treated RMK and he is here to run the program further into the ground than it already is. He's setting up a season next year where we will have no players, then he will resign in late August after all the available coaches have already accepted other jobs.
There are some things in life you don’t betray for money and for me IU bball is one of them. Not a crock and not BS. The line has to be drawn somewhere and if you dont have a line you will never understand.That’s a crock of BS. No you wouldn’t. Nobody would.
I think that any of us, placed in a high admin position, would ask everyone if they are coming back. If you get a few “NOs” and a few “I have not decided” then you know the locker room is awful and the coaching staff must leave.When the season ends and Reneau and Mgbako hit the portal that might tip the scale to fire him. Remember last year when Dickerson left to Kansas I could see Reneau and Mgbsko leaving for a winner like Kansas or Duke.
i sill cannot believe these guys are calling the shots and keeping woodson. I guess when you get older buddies trump reality and you stick to your buddy no matter what.I think that any of us, placed in a high admin position, would ask everyone if they are coming back.
