My main man Tuck.

[TDHoosier]

Losing Woody and Tucker is def addition by subtraction.

Tucker will be a stud somewhere where he can get good coaching. I assume he’s probably not staying around for the big Brownell hire. Lol

Good luck Tucker I’ll root for you the same I do for Geronimo, Bates, Banks and CJ. Some good athletic guys who had a used car salesman as a coach.

He isn’t even a used cars salesman. He’s more of the dude on staff that collects a check and hasn’t done shit for the company.

Yeah man, Crean was the used car salesman that clogged up the employee toilet.

Woodson is the retired cop that works security now, sleeping 8 hours per day in front of the security cameras.

 

[jacksback]

Tucker will be good

I'm sure he will but happy to have him be good someplace else.

 

[kurt cloverdales]

Yeah but hw got paid an insane amount nobody else would have given him

wrong, he would have got paid at a lot of places, Braden smith makes a million more than anyone on ius roster, were not the nil kings everyone on here thinks we are

 

[Courtsensetwo]

You have no idea what you are talking about. Cupps make the same as Smith. Ballo makes 1.2?

I tried that with a stand in practice coach one time and he roughed me up in the locker room. I was down to my jock and also had to run laps in bare feet and a jock. I never mentioned it to anyone because I knew he was right.

you never mentioned it to anyone bc it was weird, and, no, it was not "right".

that dude wanted to watch you run around in a jock strap, man.

He didn’t watch but I ran the laps I was supposed to. He was justified in accordance with my sense of right and wrong. I was a smart ass kid and learned more from the situation than I otherwise would have.

Just like on here. There are several people that specialize in anonymous rudeness. If Cav had a free beer party for the board, my expectation is-
1) The anonymous rude would not show up because afraid to get an ass whoopin
2) They would show up and be courteous to a fault because afraid of an ass whoopin
3) They would show up with rudeness and get an ass whippin.

In my view that is right because they deserve an ass whippin.

well let's hope IU makes the tourney so you can forget all about this

 

[WhyisIUBBcursed]

He’s George working on the Pensky file

 

[WhyisIUBBcursed]

If numerous reports are correct, Woody has even got into a tussle or two with assistant coaches. And the Tucker incident makes sense given he hasn't seen the floor in forever.

I ask you: Who's the common denominator is these kerfuffles?

After watching the interactions of the coaching staff and players in Nassau none of this is surprising. This was toxic in November. Add a sh!t load of losses and this was inevitable

 

[kurt cloverdales]

smith made over 2 mil this year

 

[Bippy]

Me. I would have and any winner imo would have as well.

I think this is the 1st time I've agreed with you.
I absolutely hope it is true. If he saw bull shit and called it out, then good for him and his display of insight and integrity.

 

[CriticArisen]

smith made over 2 mil this year

Cooper Flagg territory.

 

[Courtsensetwo]

smith made over 2 mil this year

BS

 

[kurt cloverdales]

BS

not bs, on 3 sports has his nil at 1.9 million I was a little bit off

 

[Courtsensetwo]

That is potential value not actuals He might get that at a place that pays like that. I knew that is where you were getting this...

 

[kurt cloverdales]

nope that's what he earned this year, he's number 2 in the country, I assume Flagg is 1st

 

[Aloha Hoosier]

Can you link it? I can’t find any factual information on player pay anywhere, only guesses.

 

[Aloha Hoosier]

Link, please. I can’t find actual numbers, only guesses.

 

[TR32]

Had a conversation last night with my buddy who told me “straight from the horses mouth” Tucker told the coaching staff to go F themselves. Those exact words. lol. Hasn’t played since.


I hope we keep Tuck!!

Gotta be kidding me. If I was coach and he said that to me or my staff, I'd take his access to Assembly Hall away from him immediately.

 

[MG80]

Strong words from a guy shooting 30 something percent from the field

He was pretty unplayable, especially with his D. He made Mack look like Jason Kidd.

 

[IUfanBorden]

who wants a player who tells the coaching staff ( even this one ) to go f themselves? not me.

Well, i mean, consider rhe staff.

 

[IUfanBorden]

Gotta be kidding me. If I was coach and he said that to me or my staff, I'd take his access to Assembly Hall away from him immediately.

Oh, no..Not that. What would he ever do?

Probably learn to play. Tamar says , 'hi".

Staff is a joke

 

[Vern Pain]

He’s George working on the Pensky file

Not Pensky material.

Figured it was something like this. Wonder if there was something similar last year with Banks. All of a sudden he never played.

 

[asindc]

I see no upside in complimenting/encouraging a player to be insubordinate, no matter how lousy the coaching staff is.

 

[abraxis]

Exactly. IF this did happen, he’s lucky to still be on the team.

No, keep him at the end of the bench shouldering with a big “DNP” taped to his forehead until the end of the season. It’s more humbling.

 

[UncleMark]

Wasn't it Lewis or Coverdale who became a fan favorite when he barked back at Knight in the middle of a game?

 

[Hoosier Hacker]

It was Michael Lewis. And, I guarantee he didn't tell him to F off. Otherwise, we'd have been referring to him all these years as "the late Michael Lewis".

 

[bawlmer]

He’s 18 and been given no confidence in his game. Tamar was a dog when here, and everyone said he was a puppy. I’ve had plenty of talks with Tamars dad this year, confidence and belief is what he told me is the huge difference in programs. Coach molds you at this age. Woody screwed Tucker. Next year will be Great proof of that.

People in here saying he shot 30%, ok well that’s on coach. Tucker took very difficult fade aways and 20 footers. He had no business doing that his freshman year. If I was coach he would not be allowed to do that, he was obviously encouraged to do so.

You can’t grow if you aren’t given water. CJ banks Tamar…. Woody is the problem. F him.

This is the real problem with converting an NBA guy to college. Not substitution patterns or even offensive schemes. Turning raw talent into basketball players. Bates, Gunn, Banks, hell even Geronimo should have been able to find a place on this team.

Woody has no development skills. Zero. You are 100% correct in the nba style and scheme being awful for college.

I'd be surprised if the language itself would have made a difference. Just the fact that he had the temerity to push back was impressive. And I wouldn't be surprised if Knight himself thought better of him after he did it.
