What does a lame duck coach do for recruiting or transfer portal?

While the probability of making the tournament is looking to approximate zero, would we pull the trigger on Woody mid season to retain current players or stay in the running for future talent? I can't believe that the success of Pope at UK and McNeely being FOTW doesn't heat CMW's seat significantly.

Gotta think that Mac and Malik would be outta here after this year if we don't have post season simply based on trying to preserve their NBA hopes. What recruit is going to see this level talent and believe their NBA hopes will be boosted if Woodson was miraculously retained? I see zero chance Woody leaves voluntarily and if we don't backfill quickly, next year is house too.

There is absolutely zero upside to this situation. The titanic has struck the ice berg and will founder. But the clueless administration, BOT continue to use buckets to dump water out of the ship. This entire situation is just sad and the result of nepotism and incompetence. I hope IU loses whenever they play their next game. They don't care, why should those who feel like myself?

Not sure on contract but I thought they have to wait till March then they can lump sum the rest of his deal. If we hire a good coach the kids will come we have NIL money we just need a good coach. I hope once Woodson is fired we can let Buckner go too we don't need nepotism at Indiana.
