Mike Davis or Mike Woodson

[GeorgeStrait IU]

who is the better coach?
Both walked into stud interior players. MD when getting his players?
Davis: was able to land DJ White, Robert Vaden & Marco Killingsworth typle players.
(Had DJ not broke his foot twice in 05-06, that 19-12 9-7 team could have easily been 22-9 11-5 or a pinch begter conference keeping him. No NIL)

And we've seen what Woodson has done in year 3 and this season withe caliber of players snd pocket book? Wash? Atleast Davis made the right decision in 05-06 in February to relieve pressue.

Woodson should be at IUPUI or watever they are now. .
Both coaches walked into enough talent for their first two seasons.

I never thought we should have let David go. IMO he was the best we have had but maybe there was some reason that I am not aware of. I never understood why we moved from him.

 

[SBow]

Davis had better assistants..

Don’t say that or someone will be saying in a week or so that we need to keep Woody and just get him better assistants. This is the typical football HC move. Always have someone below you that the blame can fall on.

Here, let me remind you…

He went 15-14 one year then followed that up with 14-15.

He called in sick for the Iowa game.

He let Bracey Wright shoot free throws from like the 3 pt line.

He went full on rhatard and started doing some kind of chicken dance at the end of the Kentucky game.

I’m sure there’s more that I’ve tried to erase from my memory but he was a better coach than Woodson.

Ummm.. It was 14-15 and then 15-14
lmao. I get ya.

I will say that 15-14 team, startimg out 2-6?? Davis did a helluva job to finish 10-6 in confefence. Take away that Brendan Plavich half court heave and that quarterfinal win over Minnesota, they would have slipped in the dance. 10-6 couldnt
make the ncaa's but Bowlsby and his 7-9 Hawkeyes sure made it. Easier non conference season (Minnesota's was a joke) and 15-14 10-6 could have been 18 dubs entering conference tourney.

 

[Kelly_32]

Davis actually gave a shit which makes him a better coach than Woodson.

 

[GThomas]

Woody is the worst post-Knight coach. (Yes, even worse than Archie.)

The Notorious BIGfoot is the king of doing less with more.

Woody makes Crean look like Dean Smith

 

[Chicago-bound Hoosier]

Death by hanging or death by firing squad. Both produce the same result.

 

[Bucket Getter]

Davis cared. End of story.

Davis was better. But one thing they both have in common, neither was remotely qualified for the job.

Davis has said that he was in over his head being the HC of IU. Woodson on the other hand thinks he is above IU. Now that last part might not be fair but it's what I think whether it is right or wrong.

Anyone got a clip of the chicken dance? I’d kinda forgotten about that one.

I would say Crean was a better coach because of what he started with. At times we were #1 in the country after some years before starting walk ons and some freshmen who probably shouldn' t have been at IU.

Didn't he also send a recruiting letter with the wrong name on it?

 

[Warison]

Yes! Sent Mike Conley a Kansas recruiting letter. Forget the Kansas players name.

It’s all coming back to me now. When he lost Oden and Conley to OSU his days were numbered.

And the year he started 2-6, it was 6 non conference games in a row he lost.

And….. he was still better than Woodson.

Woodson is Scott Frost. Just a tremendous bad hire.

 

[Warison]

The irony about Mike Davis is he screamed proudly about being the 4 seed in the BIG tournament. We mocked him for that.

When we the last time we were a 4 seed or higher in the BIG tournament?

Unreal…

Davis certainly left a masterpiece of sh*t the night he was afraid to come out of his basement, calling in “sick” 45 min before the Iowa game. Hopefully, he’s since received expert counseling.

It was less than 2 years ago. Under Woodson.
