Yeah, they were terrible when he took over. 13-69 his first year and lost 50+ his next two seasons. That’s why his record looks bad. They made the playoffs the next three years after that and their record improved every single year after that. Record was worse the year after he was let go. He then took the Knicks to back to back playoffs. Had a losing record the next year and was fired. Knicks proceeded to fall off the face of the earth.He took over some really bad Atlanta teams ans rebuilt them getting them to the playoffs after an 8 year draught. I watch a ton of nba and always thought highly of him. I think he will be a solid recruiter and was known a a players coach in the nba. I think him way better than Archie. I think people will be surprised.
If IU was going to make this move, it should have been 10 or more years ago. I guess that is 2 AD's that failed to get Brad Stevens in here. Stevens isn't going to survive the year in Boston, and you can't sell him?He’s old! He’ll be gone in 5-7 years at best! I don’t get this AT ALL!
Who? Name that guy so we can critique him, too.I expected a proven ncaa experienced coach, or a young super motivated assistant on the rise. Not an old coach with zero experience in the NCAA.
100 percent correct. You also forgot to add he was fired as an assistant for the clippers46% career winning percentage and a couple years from social security. I’m sure recruits will be lining up. But he might play motion offense, so that’s what matters, right? This is a pathetic, horrible hire.
Cool, so let's not hire them.Every NBA coach except Jackson and Auerbach can be labeled failures.
You nor no one else can say this is great or bad. It’s why our AD chose and he is now our HC. If you don’t care for it, while entitled to your feelings toward it, your opinion, just like everyone else’s, really bears zero weight. But thanks for weighing in. Time will tell if this was or was not a great hire.46% career winning percentage and a couple years from social security. I’m sure recruits will be lining up.

And he lasted at tech for like 6-7 years? So around 65?RMK was 59-60 when he left IU.

Well Leonard Hamilton will be 73 this year (FSU). Roy Williams will turn 71 the same month. Mike Kryzewski is 74. So, at least 10 years... and if he is still here 10 years from now it will turn out to be a good hire.If Mike is successful, I'll eat my hat. But, why in the hell aren't we hiring a younger, proven college coach? You can start collecting SS when you are 62, if you choose. I guess this program just has to get "hiring one of its own" out of its system. How many years does Mike actually have left in him?
That's all right grasshopper. In time, wisdom and knowledge will come to you. He could easily have 10 years left. But, if he gets the program going in the right direction, 5-7 will be okay.He’s old! He’ll be gone in 5-7 years at best! I don’t get this AT ALL!

What intrigues me about this is Matta. With Matta you have someone who can organize the program, enforce a style of play, and ensure Woodson is developing as a college coach.
What just baffles my mind about this is why didn't we try this with Alford 10 or 15 years ago?

You are losing any credibility didnt u want AlfordThe roles should be reversed: Thad should be the head coach and Mike should be an assistant. Maybe this is the ultimate goal. I'm guessing Thad's health is still preventing him from being a head coach, but he wants to get back into college basketball and is kind of testing himself. Maybe there is some type of arrangement where Thad will take over as head coach in a year or two if he feels like he can do it.
Unless the plan is to see Mike get IU back on its feet and transition to Matta once his back has enough steel rods in them that he can stand upright for hours?He’s old! He’ll be gone in 5-7 years at best! I don’t get this AT ALL!
I like Woody, but he said “yes” before we asked him (while we were asking and being declined by others). He’s better than Miller or Crean or Davis, but this feels a little desperate. Hope he does great.I expected a proven ncaa experienced coach, or a young super motivated assistant on the rise. Not an old coach with zero experience in the NCAA.
How long will you be here after saying you're out of here?Will be fired in 3-4 years. This is a total rebuild. Dude is pushing 65

Based on what?Prediction after 3 years Woody will retire at the age of 66 with 20 million in his pocket with a sub 500 record and live happily ever after. FUBAR

Because the younger proven college coach knows that four years down the road there's a good chance he'll be out of a job.If Mike is successful, I'll eat my hat.
