Yes. There was coach search committee of seven or so people that hired Davis — they didn’t contact any candidates per an article, which is classic stupid IU.
You finally got one thing right. Woodson should definitely keep his mouth shut. Congrats on that, but the rest is your typical fanboy gibberish.
The players (Jeffries, Newton, Fife, Moye, etc) demanded co-coaches. John Treolar was smart enough to turn it down. The rest is history.
Correct. They demanded that either Trelor (sp?) or Davis be named head coach, Davis was selected.
I didn't remember that there was a search committee. Why on earth have a committee and then not interview anyone. That is idiocy.
Trying to remember, was that first Davis year an "interim" HC appointment, or did they make him permanent HC right away?
lol I don’t know if El Swirlo did those things but I do love listening to the PUkie version of the Knight stories.
you get more coverage than Indiana State so count your blessings.
IU was always a flash in the pan program.
Why do you only want black players on the team?
The AD was between three rocks and a hard place (RMK) and had to consider self-preservation. The President was prodded on by a couple of faculty members & possibly a BOT member (I couldn’t confirm the BOT link though). The President got his glory & a better job out of it, one of the faculty ended up at Berkeley, and IU basketball fans got a damaged program.
Like most reporting today lazy writing and the Star is not very valuable analyst even if some points are probably somewhat accurate.Doesn't mince words!
Mike Woodson is destroying an Indiana institution. IU basketball needs an intervention.

1920s? Do have a similar map of Kentucky during the same time period? As if that's even relevant.
And IU bball articles in the Star get 3 to 4 times as many clicks as a PU article. They provide what the people want. And they have to pay the bills.
You're remembering correctly. It was especially bothersome because it was September and if the players walked there wasn't any way to replace them but with walk-ons.
Oh, he didn’t.
Also an administrative numbnuts named Clapacs reshaping the Athletic Department to meet nondynamic parameters. He did a quality job impacting the next 2+ decades.
That is a good ex-pat native Hoosier perspective, well-reasoned, and I think pretty well sums up the mood of the vast fan base that sees it more broadly. We're not alone in this universe or destroying recruiting with our old man gripes here!Doesn't mince words!
