Shitty coaching

There was an early game where I can recall at least three attempts where a player had a foot on the line (one of them was reversed to a 2 by an official). Very poor execution and awareness by players that should know better. Almost as bad as attempting a 3 with a foot on the out of bounds line.
I’d be curious in what the raw numbers were. Is it 20 shots/game? Is it 20 shots attempted on the season?

There won’t be any whining. There will be apathy. Assembly Hall half empty, and/or perhaps having to play NIT games on the road. Fun stuff for a “blue blood”
The same thing was said about the buy out for Allen and yet, we have a new coach.
If he had left them in the way the game is going, and both get a 3 or maybe 4th foul .You would complain about that.
Why would he step down. First the team has a wining record. Second dealing with you naysayers builds character. Third the whims of this crowd who are tossed back and forth ,have no substance,never satisfied.
INTERESTING post, would you be saying the same thing if he was white. Miller got 4 years no tourneys no twenty win seasons, interesting
No I wouldn't, because that would mean he is trying to adjust. HE has done this every single time a player gets 2 fouls. He is very predictable and treats college way too much like the NBA. It is clearly not working, and his insistence on doing it a certain way with no change, will be his downfall.
Same thing with JHS, he was pretty good at the mid range jumper (above 40% in the long midrange jumpers). CJ, and Cupps are horrendous at it, but he still allows it to happen like they are JHS.
You really using this team by “overall record”
Who have we beaten? Honestly this team is very portly coached and constructed. Great individual talent when on a better team though. Could you imagine Ware on a good team?
Yes I would. Race has nothing and I mean nothing to do with it.
Take a deep breath. It’s going to be OK. Plenty of great things you can be doing as a hobby. I think you are taking things waasaaay too seriously.
If history is any indication, poor shooting both from the field and the line, give up a lot of open 3’s and get out rebounded. X struggles and has an emotional fit flagrant foul. Anyone who gets 2 fouls in the first half sits until after halftime, regardless of game situation. Post game talk of getting them over the hump.
Who is the coach ,he said he should have left MM in. HE CMW is learning his players too.
What is making you so passionate about Woody?
Why is that interesting? You are the one trying to spin it to race
You would not believe all the hate messages and naysayers i am getting. Its all good Ive been a fan for 55years and nothing will change that. Though good times and bad bad times . I bleed candy stripes.
I said I should have never drank alcohol. Instead I spent 7 years at IU and am not a doctor.
So you’re saying that’s not accurate? Or you don’t like that I pointed it out?
I mostly agree with you that Woody has done enough positive so far, that it's ridiculous to think about pushing him out the door... except for his age and seeming lack of energy. See the thread about him not recruiting IN, and that's my concern, more for the future and direction, than the results this year. This could just be a bad collection of players, who's sum isn't greater than the parts. He can also argue no one expected JHS to develop and leave in a year, and that Newton is injured, so there are legit excuses for this year, and I expected it would be a rebuild and we'd not make the tourney, until he got MM and KW, and I applaud him for that. But, we also can't live off the portal. I think we need to be developing a culture and continuity and if the portal is your primary recruiting means, I don't think that happens. It's why I've said I hope Dolson is sitting down with Woody and monitoring the future and his plans regularly. The bball HC at IU is maybe the biggest concern for our AD, so I hope he's insuring this is a 1 year thing. He may not have to answer to fans and reporters about his actions, but he should to the AD. What I see is poor play and fundamentals and I feel like a big chunk of that is attributable to coaching and not chemistry. Frankly, Woody looks and sounds tired, and I fear he's not above cashing checks as long as he can. So, that's why I think this situation is different than Archie or Crean.

I am passionate for Indiana. I have been for over 55 years, CMW Happens to be the coach. I was crazy about RMK, G Mcginnis and S Downing. I was in college when CMW was playing.
Few coaches can build a college winner with NBA principles. We are seeing that play out.
Sadly, most of my stories don't revolve around IU bball anymore... my memory's not that good! I was 10 in 76 and just starting to watch the Hoosiers during that run, which made me love the candy stripes. I was 15 in '81 and 21 in '87 so I saw a lot of great bball, but it's been a long stretch of mostly underperforming since then. But, through it all Hoosier Nation has remained strong. Few schools would have stood by their team like IU fans have. Heck, when PU swooned, their attendance dropped by more than half and there was way less support than what we've seen. Living out of state, it's been great to go to games and be around my fellow Hoosiers. Some of the best have actually been the soccer matches I've seen! The next time I get back to Btown, let's put a night at Nicks on the calendar!
Wow a level headed person. I give you two things that bother me. The behind the back shit by X And Ware not getting on the ground with Edey. You rarely see IU players getting on the ground scraping.
Then you should know quality basketball and what quality coaching looks like. Woody simply isn’t the answer.
Woody absolutely gets another year regardless of what happens. The question is can QB convince him to step down rather than go through another buy out
And I respect that. This is a new day in college athletics and frankly I don’t like it
For how long?? The window is shrinking due to his age. He isn’t going to be here long enough to build a program. That’s why I didn’t want him in the first place, that and because he has never coached a college game…ever.
Next year we will be in another short term rebuild year .
