Shouldn’t take this long to build it

Smh. He took over a 12 win team that had not made the tournament in 5 years. He has won 21 and 23 games his first 2 and made the tournament both years. Woodson’s results have been good.
Chris Beard (probs not viable to my idiot alma mater), Michael Lewis, Dusty May, Dane Fife- let’s not act like no one will come when it’s clearly time- it isn’t time now in my view. But I do see next year as critical for Woody’s tenure. Coaches today don’t get 6 seasons to build a program, we struggle next year and every kid in the country will give Trayce Jackson Davis credit for our two marginally successful seasons. Woody has lots of work to do. I’m age 57 and don’t want to work as hard as he will have to work, but I’m not paid like a D1 hoops coach either.
Since we are talking coaches that are not needed at IU and same as 6 years ago, I still like Mitch Henderson. Maybe in 5 years, he'll be a good replacement for Woody when he hangs it up.

What if IU hires a guy who has never been to the NCAA tournament?
A guy that could coach but had absolutely no track record in recruiting. A guy who only has been at a school where nobody would ever go if they had any aspirations of playing professionally. A young guy still in his first job. You are not going to attract the one-and-dones with that guy. The...

The 1989 & 2012 teams were overachievers in the regular season and bowed out in the Sweet 16. The 2002 squad was unranked in the final AP Poll, but was only #22 in the pre-season poll. They never were ranked higher than #20, but did spend the last few weeks of the season ranked before falling out in the final poll. Regardless, they were massive overachievers when it counted most and nearly hung banner #6.
That 1989 team was a huge surprise as they were picked to finish 9th (of 10) in the Big 10 by Street & Smith's, which was the go to College Basketball magazine in those days. I'm going by memory on that, so I could be wrong about it being 9th. It don't even sound right to me and I lost my collection of Street & Smith's in a move a few years ago. I'm sure some of the other old timers here will correct me if I'm wrong
The 2012 team is technically an overachiever, but in my own personal rankings I had them #22 pre-season.
Anyway, I think this is one of the interesting things about being an IU basketball fan. We have very rarely been surprised in a good way. It has become my top criteria in my own personal coach evaluation checklist. Just once lets be better than everyone thinks we're supposed to be.
Look at Penn State they had a few portal guys and took a huge jump. If we can land some guys we can be very competitive we have a couple pieces just need more speed and shooting. I know for one thing a healthy X and Galloway we will have very good on the ball defense something JHS was not good at.
We need better and more hungry players.
This group didn’t care if they won or lost and it was obvious with their play down the stretch.

I rewatched the first 8 minutes of the second half from the other night. We had multiple chances to take probably a 7-10 point lead against Miami. The Kopp horrible shot was a killer . Several really bad pass turnovers when it was tied or we were up. Then no box out from anyone on a missed three and Wong comes right in and grabs the ball for an easy layup. After that we were done. Not saying we would of won but we had chances to stay in that game.
"CELEBRATE! . . . CELEBRATE! . . . DANCE TO THE MUSIC!"
After NO NCAA appearances for years, I am celebrating 2 appearances in 2 years. And, I am hoping for even better seasons in the future.
If they didn't care if the won or lost, IU would not have won 22 games.
UConn should have fired Hurley after not making the tournament his first two years. How the hell can a blueblood program with multiple national championships and an all-time great coach fail that miserably. Hell, they guy couldn't get past the first game the next two years either. They had the chance to hire Dusty May four times before this year but stupidly were content with mediocrity. smh
I just checked. Dan Hurley's current team, which might end up winning the whole Enchilada in the NCAAT this year, finished tied for 4th place in the the BE Conference regular season. Can you imagine the uproar on this board with CMW, if the men's IU BB team had the same team as UConn right now & finished tied for 4th place in the BiG?
Kansas State has ten new players this year. No reason we cannot go out and get 5 portal guys who can play rignt away.

While not all coaches are fond of the transfer portal, it's hard to argue against the impact it has had in the NCAA Tournament.

Imagine the uproar if Hurley had been hired as the Hoosier head coach coming out of Rhode Island!
Hurley showed consistent improvement each year at UCONN so I doubt anyone would have wanted him fired.
LOL! That’s flat out hilarious because it’s 100 percent certain YOU would have been screaming for him to be fired. Thanks for the laugh! Same with Dusty May. You started this thread about a guy you would have screamed bloody murder about firing for most of his previous four years. Denying it will only make me split my gut laughing.
CMW has also improved each year his been here. Yet, you want him fired.
You do realize that Sampson would have been banned by the NCAA for 5 years regardless and we still would have shit the bed repeatedly???
Every time someone says we should have kept Sampson the Stupid Meter pegs out at maximum. IU couldn’t have kept him if they wanted to.
I love the way you people make excuses for IU sports! Wait till next year! That’s the IU battle cry 😂
Not making excuses at all. We’ve f—-d up royally repeatedly. But keeping Sampson wasn’t an option
Your post was stupid and fair game for anyone who saw it.

Because he loses all of his good players and his recruiting is weak.
DeVries is an intriguing candidate.
Pretty sure as long as we have a coach there can’t be any candidates

Wait, what? Schifino is his recruit. TJD is going to the NBA & so is Schifino. Who else is CMW going to lose that can't be replaced with a new player who would be just as good or better? Schifino is CWM's recruit, how is Schifino weak player? I don't understand how you can say CMW's recruiting is weak?
Consider the source. If you are looking for logic in anything he posts, you won't find it. 100% juvenile butthurt nonsense.
Look at the 2023 class. Schifino is the only Woodson to contribute meaningfully so far, and he was very inconsistent.
What makes you think Woodson is going to kill it in the portal?
I don't know if he'll "kill it in the portal?" But, I waiting to see what he does with portal players this year before I react positively or negatively. Schifino was a big fish that supposedly's gonna be a top 20 pick in the upcoming NBA draft. Don't you think CMW should get credit for getting Schifino to come to IU?
