He is either retiring or getting fired. Dolson is doing him a solid by "allowing" him to control the narrative. If he wants to go out kicking and screaming then it's going to get ugly for him. It's not like he can say he is the coach and that's it. If need be, we will have the police escort him from the building and then change the keycode. One way or the other, he will not be IU's coach next year.
Guess I got my answer. IDS just now reporting that he will finish the season but will not be back next year. Hoping fans will give CMW the respect he deserves as the legend he was in his playing days. Just wasn't to be as a coach.
This gives Dolson a big window to make the correct call. GoHoosiers

It is really stunning just how horrible a coach he is given the resources he had. And as far as respect sounds like he will go out kicking and screaming so not really sure how much respect he deserves. He did alot of damage to this program.
Mike Woodson will not return as the the Indiana basketball coach. With one of the top NIL payrolls in the country, Woodson was regularly uncompetitive against the higher levels of college basketball, had no significant postseason success, and never finished in the top 30 in the NET rankings.
I don't get the respect thing. Sure, he was a great player and competitor. However, the crap he pulled at the end of last year with the "real fans" BS and then to top it off by remaining to be lazy and just wanting to buy a team doesn't earn him respect as a coach. I believe that is what he is getting paid millions to do. He just didn't believe that portion of the job.
Bingo. He was a great player here 45 years ago but we owe him NOTHING given the crap he has pulled . He got 20 million out of IU for a job he never should have gotten in the first place. And his total arrogance and elite attitude turned off alot of people. We owe him nothing at all. He was given every single opportunity to succeed and he failed.
people try and fail it happens (whoever raised you as an example} you know nothing about the man other than his results, the results weren't good enough he lost his job, end of the story
Must have not read exactly what I said.
"Hoping fans will give CMW the respect he deserves as the legend he was in his playing days."
Nothing about respect for his coaching.
People have said a million times he was a great player over and over again. But there is a reason you DO NOT hire former players and especially ones who are not qualified. You end up in the current situation. And he is going kicking and screaming so he is not doing himself any favors.
I read it. I just don’t think he deserves any respect since as an adult he treated IU and its fans like $hit. That is 20 million $$$$ in $hit. Pull up
Management could and should have let him go last year: more their fault than Mike.
Should have never ever been hired in the first place period.
