Woodson will return next season per Osterman
- Thread starter Sobchak_Security
- Start date
lol I can hear the entire state of Indiana take a breath all the way from here
Ha, it’s bad but not that bad. I’m saying that rumor mid majors turned us down isn’t true.
This will be just like many IU football fans went through this past year. Most wanted Allen gone last year because they saw the writing on the wall. Wasted a year floundering. The bright side is they found a good coach. Basketball is different though with the high expectations. Woodson is just not cut out to be a good college coach.
More than one. After next year another coach will take a couple of years to acquire the talent to mesh well together.
Ok cause even if it were true no one would know about three contacts with declines
Here's to hoping Osterman doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. If this administration really is this stupid, then burn it down.
Makes sense, those guys are pretty old.
This program is officially deceased. No more life support. Call the code. At least I dont have to waste my hopes to start the season next year. College basketball is dead to me.
I've followed IU basketball since 1969. I went to many,many games during that time, donated money to athletic fund. This is the 1st time that I have become numb to IU. I watched Woody play for IU, I watched Buckner play for IU. Never thought I'd see either destroy IU program. Yet here we are. And I thought IU reached a low point with Archie. Then Woody said hold my beer or cigar,whichever.
IU is being ran by "IU, Bob Knight" men. Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
IU is the complete opposite of a blueblood. I’ve never seen a program so willfully self sabotage. I don’t know how any thinking person could support it.
Giving Woodson another year just delays the inevitable for a year.

Gotta make room on the bench for Kenny Payne I guess
I wanted Beilein but I wasn’t smart enough to be a Trustee or a university President
Anybody trying desperately to make a living working for that rag is an idiot by definition. They hired this dufus to cover the 500. He’d never even attended an IndyCar race. 🙄
It’s Wednesday (now Thursday).
They call it “hump day.” Woody did indeed get them over the hump. Quinn Buckner saw his own shadow. That means 6 more years of futile basketball. We will end the season better than.500 and everyone sings hallelujah gloriana frangipani!! We’re back!

You sir are a damn liar and no place for that here. Not sure about president but your choice for a coach demonstrates that you are OVERqualified for the Board of Trustees.
Damn shame when you have to explain things like that. Damn this board can be dense.
I'm still not sure there's not a bigger reason as to the why, that's assuming his return
Yeah, but they'd probably spank this team to this day easily, that's what's sad
Yes, if Woody is coming back we and to retain MR and MM and I would keep Cupps. Cupps has had more experience than most freshman and hopefully will hit the weights.
Bank’s, Gunn, just never seemed to blossom. May have been our inability to coach them or maybe they just aren’t major college players.
I am very unexcited. Have no intention of giving money..
No because it’s an ego thing. Buckner and the BoT don’t want to admit they missed again. This is why you don’t hire your friends, because when you know you should fire them you don’t. This team hasn’t improved during the season, they’re just winning against teams as bad as we are.
I agree with much of what you have to say but my expectation is that if Cupps is a starter next year it can only mean CMW really screwed the pooch on guards again. He is shooting 38% from the field and 67% from the line and averaging 1.2 apg. Muscle would cut down on being muscled on defense but jeez a nightmarish freshmen year statistically no matter how much we wish he would succeed.
Leal only played 60% of the minutes of Cupps but shot 56% from the field and averaged more assists. Not claiming Leal is an excellent player only pointing out that Cupps had a completely uninspiring freshman year statistically.
Does anyone know if his listed height of 6’2” is accurate. He looks smaller on Samsung.
He played on teams that had a lot of success in high school so this all must be far short of what he envisioned.

Look at those BOT members. I bet 4-5 of them have no clue or care about what IU hoops used to be or means to this fan base. Been this way since Knight's final days. Such a sad situation. They dont deserve the fan base that supports them.
You do realize that the Board of Trustees main function is the overall university and the academics not athletics. I don't vote on the BOT members that alums elect based on their knowledge of sports. It is a nice added benefit if they have some knowledge of athletics but really a small part of the mission of the university.
Made it easier for QB to claim special unimpeachable expertise for basketball.
Sparks is shooting 41.7% from the line on 36 attempts. Only player I remember that Shaq would be a guru for free throws.
Good analogy: to me the most important thing was finding the right guy. We've shown for 20 odd years that it's not easy to find them. That's the reason I thought this was the year because there are going to be so many high level hires: OSU, UM, WVU, UL just to start and so the guys that fill those positions can no longer be our guy. Gonna really hurt to see, say Beard, May or Pearl go to Lville and get to a F4 in the next few years. Especially if we flounder for another year, which is what I fear. Really, really gonna suck if what TrillyD said about mass player exodus comes to pass.

On the exodus and it’s just my dumb opinion: I doubt it. The season will end and emotions will calm down. The change narrative will start with McNeely and whoever we get in the portal. We are going to back up the NIL truck probably more than any other school would, and they’ll take all those hundreds of thousands of $ sitting there and stay.
