Thad Matta

[Stuffshot]

..... sure doesn't look like an invalid right now, running and yelling up and down the sideline in the Wisconsin/Butler game.

I guess his health must be pretty good for a 57-year-old guy (apparently the winningest coach in OSU history).

Edit to add: Butler has had the most amazing luck (oops, I mean success) in hiring its basketball coaches. Not us.

There have been some really good coaches in very close proximity to Bloomington, and an AD with half of a pulse would have taken notice and hired one of them.

Yep, "failed physical" my ass. Matta was the only silver lining associated with the Bigfoot hire.

And Matta is not one of them. RMK was never impressed with his coaching

Gee, I wonder what RMK would think of Woody’s “coaching” then?

Matta’s been a much better college coach than RMK’s guy, Woody, has been or will ever be.

Wasn’t comparing the two, just stating a fact

Woodson was insecure with him in the same office.

RMK said a lot of things tongue planted in cheek.

You would take what happened at IU from roughly 2004 to 2017 over what Thad did at OSU? IU gets Oden and Conley if Matta is at IU. No offense to RMK, but he missed on that one.

I've never seen that comment reported anywhere and this is the first time I've heard of it. Got a link or even some general context on when it was said and to whom?

IU could have and would have had Matta had they cut Davis loose after the 04-05 season. 2005-2006 season on, should have been Thad's Indiana Hoosiers. But .. But Marco Killingsworth was the savior to the dumbasses who were makin the decisions..
