Where are all the program/ Woodson apologists?

Oh, good Lord. We just won a Big Ten tourney game to move onto the next round to try to keep our hopes alive for the NCAA tourney and all you morons want to do is to keep bashing Woodson? It’s laughable. It amazes me the lack of basketball IQ on this board
Maybe just maybe the B1G tournament curse is gone??? In 25 years I don’t ever remember winning a game we weren’t favored in and very few of those. No matter what has happened to this point if we can make a little run now I’ll love Woody forever for breaking the curse
It's beyond ridiculous at this point. Dude was an All American at IU, a good coach in the NBA, and took over a terrible 12-15 IU team.
In his first year coaching in college the team got miles better defensively, they play hard, they're likely to make their first tournament in 6 years, and he ended embarrassing losing streaks to Michigan and Purdue. Not to mention he's put them in position to win many other games that everyone and their brother had IU getting destroyed.
There's a process in coaching that many apparently have no idea about, it's called learning how to win. It takes at least a year or two to get the stench out of a losing locker room when a coach gets fired and a new coach takes over. The team took a major step towards that today and Woody has and will continue to prove to be, a damn good coach.
I'm glad they were able to dig in and recover, but it's not about me. Was it the coaching or the players in your mind who turned it around? What explains the epic collapses or just lackluster effort in other games?
What? It's easy to defend an excellent comeback victory by a team that never gave up. You gave up though, and you must be proud.
How about you defend all your posts today? How many years of following basketball and you still don’t understand that a game is forty minutes long. I bet you are upset we won today, because you look like a fool.
That’s what I said. I can’t remember beating anyone besides the Nebraska’s and Penn States of the world.
To me it seems like the few on here who keep trashing Woodson never wanted him to succeed in the first place. They were so disappointed with the hire they decided early on that they weren’t going to give him a chance. They don’t acknowledge anything he’s done that is positive or good.
So you were brave enough, as I have been before, to vent on this forum, as I did on the premium forum yesterday. Do you have the guts to reply now to your original post, as I did? Go Hoosiers!!!!!!
Where are the apologists? We are all getting ready to tune in to the Illinois game!

I'm not hiding from it. I was mad. In many ways the team/staff made me look dumb...which I welcome and am very happy about!!
But reread my post. Woodson made some of the changes I asked for inserting Galloway. He also put Geronimo in, which I technically didn't ask for. But he most certainly put two guys in that were more capable of making offensive plays. And that worked. Many credit out defense, and obviously that was huge, but those two guys abilities to make plays offensively played a role as well.
