Woody pulling a Mike Davis?

Yea, it’s a permanent raise, so even better for Woody.
Are we getting top ten results for this compensation?

I’ve gotta believe every single AD in the country is either pissed at Dolson of laughing their asses off at him. The pissy group would be the one’s whose coaches are walking into their offices demanding million dollar raises because “my team is ranked a helluva lot higher than 100 and look what Woodson got!” The laughing group would be everyone else. Such a moronic move. Only at good ol’ boy IU. 😡😡😡
It's actually a genius move. Now any potential coaching hire will look at what we pay for these results, just imagine what we'd pay someone who was actually winning?
Although team makeup (aka lack of a shooter) is an issue, I don't think recruiting talent is the issue as this team is chalk full of it. The issue is we lack basic team fundamentals of the game. Our defenders are always out of position. Our post players never hedge on screens to allow our on-ball defenders a viable chance to defend their shooters or mitigate dribble drives off screens. Braden Smith would literally get a basic screen from Edey and be able to just drive to the basket. When a shot goes up, our team just watches the shot. They should be looking down to get their spot and fight for positioning. Its brutal to watch because this team has the ability to be much better than they are but for WHATEVER reason, they're playing off their individual talent alone.
Lastly, there is room to say that with proper technique/system in place, the team may even be able to help create more open shots which then could change our theory that we have no shooters. It's hard to know without seeing them being coached up. This is why it's hard to get excited about incoming recruits who are talented because that individual talent can be negated if they're not learning how to play together, correctly.
It's not mainly personnel related. It's mostly coaching. X's and O's as well as culture.
Please no. Already seen enough of that east coast talent you like. X on the X clones.
What the hell does Kenya or Ya bring to the sideline though? lol . Just like the HC & the guards, the assistant coaches on staff are also bottoms in the B1G.
A pipeline for kids like Jeff Newton, AJ Moye, Kei Madison recruitment that never worked out. Had DJ White connection there started as well. He brought another lifeline from the south for Coach and his half ass attempts to recruit like he used to. I feel he did more for Coach Knight then both Ya and Hunter. I know i'm missing a name or two.
A helluva lot more than these dudes. Low bar, for sure.
IU knows how to hire them: Jesus. Sampson is the only coach post RMK to do anything after IU.
Lol. When they leave it’s not even mediocre, it’s pretty darn bad.
Whenever Woody goes he’ll just be retired. If he hypothetically wanted another college coaching job I don’t think anyone remotely good would be interested.
IUBB is so poorly run I can never completely wrap my head around it.
Retirement time is NOW Mike!
George Leach. Hornsby?
I am fine with retirement or leaving. Just be gone so we have another chance at a great hire. And whomever has made the last several decisions cannot be part of the process ever again.
Just ask Cignetti, "who is the basketball version of yourself?" and go hire that guy.
Yes, Davis was a really good assistant coach and recruiter. Plus, he understood real defense.
He might’ve. But like ol’ Woody, it seems he’s fading fast. He honestly is 0-26 this year. How on earth haven’t they changed his key card to the gym by now?
Just for fun, let’s say our two favorite Mikes traded places. What would their respective records be at this point in the season?
His 0-26 team is giving up 80 ppg. Hard to brag much about his defensive wizardry with that stat.

most guys on that team in 2002 were recruited by davis including the two mentioned, newton, perry, moye, and even jared. Without davis knight likely does not land those guys.
it seems every coach iu cans does way worse at new jobs. Crean. Archie. Not that they were that great to begin with but they dont go on to better things.
It just goes to show you they need alot of talent to make for there lack of coaching abilities.
I have no idea how he has not won a game this year. I was huge davis guy at iu early on and I still see no way team simply made the last game without any coaching. He had to have been putting in a system to make them win. They simply did not have enough talent to win without coaching they were mostly slow dudes who could hit outside shots.
