He wouldn't say that. He would say, "Mike Woodson isn't going anywhere." Maybe throw in an obligatory "That's on me, Man."
LifelongIU77 and other Woody defenders. Does this game move the needle?

“Mike Woodson just needs to get over that hump.” ~ CMW
I haven’t defended but I hadn’t given up until today. I can’t believe we are going to waste this talented team. Hopefully some of the big donors that wanted to keep Woody were in the Bahamas today and saw the light too. I was considering going and I’d be so angry if I had. That was pathetic.
I went to Vegas and came home disappointed.
I went to Atlanta and came home mad.
If I'd have gone to the Bahamas, I might be sitting in either a Bahamian jail or hospital.
In what? In whom? Woodson's coaching ability, his substitution strategy, his post-game words of wisdom or are you waiting for Devine intervention? I'll take the latter.
Not a UK fan, bleed crimson and have since the early 70's. UK would kick our butts too.
Ok, I’ll bite. I’ve been a Woody defender. Today did move the needle for me, and I can no longer blame injuries or personnel with the team IU currently has. They looked disorganized and poorly coached, and poorly motivated. Shockingly so. If it continues, he’ll be gone at year’s end, and rightfully so.
Hypothetically, let’s say they win tomorrow against Gonzaga. Let’s say that what happened today is an aberration. Let’s say theyre making waves midway through the BT season. Will some of you Woody haters leave it be? Also, no one is getting fired mid season. It’s just not happening. He’ll get one more full season.

Last year was the payoff year, and he didn't even make the NCAA Tournament.
I defended him until around this time last year. He'd have to put games like this in the rearview mirror and win the conference for me to want him back. He's got a track record of this type of loss though. There will be a couple more like this before the season is up.
I honestly don't understand how we're this ill prepared, poorly motivated, and generally sloppy in year 4.
This is simply not a competent basketball product. Offense is a mess. Defense is a mess. Discipline, BB IQ, and turnovers are a mess. Effort is a mess. No adjustments were made. We still have poor guard play and lack of shooting.
Yes, he will get this season, a full season. No they will not be making waves during the B1G season, although not many teams are ranked in their conference. We have seen 3 full seasons of mistakes, lack of effort etc, just like we have so far this year. Same statements by Woody in the post game interview. Back play is their only consistent thing they have done for 3 years and this season. Just because you win does not mean you are playing good basketball but some will not understand that.
Reneau said today they didn't play the game plan Woodson had for them ... why not? It is not the first time I have heard a player say that either.
So the chances of us old mf'ers "leave it be" are slim and ****ing none. Oh ... they won't bet Gonzaga tomorrow ... Coach Few knows how to adjust and make a fast comeback and I doubt the clueless look I see on the sidelines when the tv focuses in on him, will not. It will be ugly tomorrow. Still like I said the other day ... I wouldn't bet a dime on this team either way, but I'd play a million on a crap table.
The players need to get some sleep tonight ... Galloway looked hungover and Mbako played like he was stoned. I've been both, so I know what that looks and feels like.
An IU game like this 25-30 years ago I would've (and did) put a remote through a TV screen. I would've been apoplectic...but the past couple decades of mostly shitty basketball have left me apathetic. I just can't bring myself to care. We know what bad basketball looks like...it looks like the last 25 years or so of IU Basketball. We also know what good basketball looks like...it looks the the 25 years or so at IU prior to that. Well I don't have another couple decades of giving a damn left in me...especially when TPTB at IU don't seem to give a damn.
At least those guys played their asses off. At times, it appears this crop of players couldn't give a flying f*** out there on the court.
Worse than the Duke game in 2018/19? That one has my vote for the dumpster fire HOF.
