Too soon?

So what was the overall tone of his comments? Bitter? Conciliatory? Contrite? Indifferent?

Any of the players say anything interesting or controversial?
 
Heā€™s just continuing his narrative it was his decision to retire. It wasnā€™t.
Woodson is a super arrogant guy which I don't mind if you can't back it up with success. He can't but in his mind he is still a great coach. Problem is he came in saying he wanted to win ncaa titles and can only go 10-10 with the top nil in the conference. I am sure he leaves thinking he did his job but this team was picked to finish 2nd not 9th.
 
That seemed more like ā€˜Iā€™m being forced to leave, and donā€™t want toā€™. He ainā€™t happy, but was never up to the job.
He was up to the title of the job and hoping people kiss his his behind because of his past. But he was never willing to bust his behind which it takes to build a program. He just thought it was like the nba and get some guys in the spring and roll. People hate sampson I get it but I remember he was out walking with DeAndre Thomas everyday to get him to lose weight. That's what ot takes in college a full 24/7 mentality and Woodson didn't have it or even close. You have to live the job.
 
TIC, With that stellar record, maybe Woody can get another P4 gig. Iā€™m sure his agent is already sorting through all kinds of big time offers. The many potential suitors are marveling at such modern offensive efficiency and energy on the defensive end by guys he can bring with in MM, BT and KC.
 
He is the definition of mediocre. Not a bad coach, but not a coach that will ever win or come close to winning a title.

Iā€™m surprised your back so soon after Leal dragged his nuts all over your face yesterday.

Anyway, itā€™s certainly interesting to see you criticizing Woodson for not accepting or speaking about the reality of the situation when youā€™re doing exactly the same thing with Anthony Leal.
Anthony Leal sucks at basketball. I hate watching him flail like a fish out of water trying to get calls.

What are you talking about criticism Woodson for not accepting. Are you simple?

Leal made 1 nice defensive play yesterday and took 1 flop. Thatā€™s all. Outside of that all he did was immediately pass to a teammate every time he touched the ball. U canā€™t win with a guard who doesnā€™t look to score in todayā€™s game. Everyone gets so excited about how hard he plays and thatā€™s great, but effort without the talent isnā€™t going to get us anywhere other than a .500 conference record

Stop stat watching. His plus/minus was off the charts. Heā€™s also not a defensive liability. Would you rather have a shoot at all costs Tucker and Carlyle on the floor? Not me. Carlyle takes such bad shots he scores for the other team. No guard on our team has as many rebounds as him either.

so you missed the eight rebounds? Tied for the lead on the team I think.

Did you notice the defense on their guards?

Iā€™d rather Chris beard coached players with the same talent level as k9 and Tucker. Leal doesnā€™t play for good coaches at IU. Ever.
 
Indiana is 7-6 in games where Leal plays over 20 minutes and 9-8 in games where he plays over 15 minutes this season. 8-8 in conference play when he plays above 15. 2-2 when he plays less than 15 minutes in conference play.
 
I havenā€™t done a ton of research, but I would be willing to bet that there arenā€™t any top 15 teams in the country with a starting guard averaging less than double digits. I know several teams in the top 10 with starting and backup guards averaging double figures

So we are shitty with him and without him. But hey atleast he doesnā€™t have talent so we canā€™t say he underachieved. WE TRY HARD!!!

Rumor is St Johnā€™s is trying to trade Pitino to get Woodson.

i don't get why people rag on leal? (or any of our guys as long as they're competing)

he may not score but he does a lot of little things to compete and win

it's obvious he always gives maximum effort and attitude is contagious

our suddenly becoming competitive late january coincided with his increased playing time imo
