Absolutely.. And have fun at games even though Indiana is battling for 10th place in the BIG every ****ing year!
I figured posting the 100TB of video evidence would get me banned.
I said none of those things. Are you a professional straw man builder or is it just a hobby?
Well if what you say is true - that we have mid major talent at guard comparable to Miami OH - then we have yet another problem because not only can Woody not coach very well but he also cannot evaluate talent. Those guys were hand picked and bought and paid for by Woody.
You should have heard me giving it to Potter. “Here we go now three five, let it rain!!!” Facial expressions would have made everyone proud. True game face
Rices handles are awful. He will get it swiped often in the B1G if he is as careless as I’ve seen him with it.
He didn't say that. He only commented on what he saw that contradicted your comments. Try being honest here.
Ugh. There's another outdated reference -- "the sentiment around the state." What, coaches around the state? Booster clubs around the state? Parents?
Players these days don't have any loyalty to their high schools either. High school recruiting is a real thing. And, Hickory was fictional in the first place. Don't act like those days still exist.
I have criticized Woodson recently based on what I personally saw, but it's totally invalid for you to say you're judging Woodson supposedly under an undefined standard of "the sentiment around the state" (a totally meaningless expression).
May, Buckner, Thomas, Guyton, Hood-Schifino, Oladipo, Ware, Reneau, Sheehey, and a bizillion other great IU players did not play high school ball in Indiana. Stop acting like it makes your reasoning look more valid by claiming Woodson is also being pilloried by "the sentiment around the state."
I am referring to AAU coaches and High School coaches, like I referenced in my post. If their perception is he is lazy as hell and does not show up then it is reality. Did I say they had to recruit only Indiana players? Hell, did I say he had to recruit Indiana kids at all? Now, if they think that then what do you think people from outside the state think? You don't believe that top AAU programs don't compare notes when it comes to college coaches and their staff? If you do not think it has an impact on his ability to recruit then I do not know what to tell you. I could be wrong, but I believe we have some guys who would not be here if it were not for the financial gain. There was a great podcast with Matt Painter about his philosophy and it was tremendous in terms of what he looked for in kids. There is a reason they have a great culture and continue to have sustained success without some of the advantages a place like IU has. You have heard someone like Cignetti outline his rationale for who they targeted and why. Woodson spoke with Drew Adams and did not even know who he was targeting! Think about that! Name me one area in which you find Woodson to be competent at. What does he do well as the coach of a once proud basketball school!
Who is going to talk Woodson into graciously walking away. I don’t see him going voluntarily.
Buckner gets a lot of blame for the Woodson debacle. As more and more comes out, all signs point to the Cook Team.
Not the results we want but Woodson has been here 3 years and finished 9th, 2nd, and 6th in the Big Ten. We have not been fighting for 10th place every year. And he did it in years 2 and 3 with significant injuries to 2 starters in his second year and 1 in his 3rd.
If we stay healthy this year hopefully we see a top 3 finish.
