Where’s your buttsmooching buddy Willy the Dog? We all knew you’d pop up again if we won a couple. But I’ll agree with one thing…the dance is a million times better if we are in it and win a game or two. Heaven forbid we actually threaten to do what Woodson said he’d do.
This is Washington we played.
Nah… we’re good from here on out. We got this.
I think the dude has disgraced everything we thought about him before this 4 year clown show, but I’m with you. Let’s see a legitimate run and change the overall narrative. I’d love it.
Yep. IU has finally made the call for Woodson not to return, no matter how you read the situation, so its all good to finally want to see thek excel again.
For many no. I saw the cheaney years so I've seen big success. It is what it is. I just hope the new coach can return us to big things.
Yeah kiss my butt when we make sweet 16.
What do you pledge as your side of the bet if we don’t?
IU is still on the bubble and all of a sudden they're S16 bound? I'll give you 10-1 odds ... my $100 vs. your $10.
Did he? To me, his best coaching "adjustments" have been having Reanu be out and forcing him to play 1 big.
Wait to see if they can beat Oregon. They are playing the best they have all season. Last year Ware finally started playing hard and they went on a run and came up short.
Yeah, for whatever reason, the players don't seem to give up on Woodson. I think they mostly "like him" and want to win for him.
In my view, Woodson's downfall and main reason he was let go was the inability to construct a cohesive team. If McNeely stayed, and he signed both Haralson and Mullins, Woodson would still be our coach next year.
He still thinks it's a winning lineup and when he played em both together vs UW we gave up half our lead. He hasn't "figured" anything out.
if we could only play washington every game.
Bob Knight was essentially fired over not making deep tournament runs back when making the tournament was a foregone conclusion. Today our chests puff out with pride thinking if we win 1 of our final two, along with a game in the BTT, we have a chance to make it in the tournament if we win a play-in game. Just getting in the NCAA tourney is our new mark of a successful season as Patrick and Tim laugh.
On February 14th you started a thread titled "Stick a fork in 'em" after the home loss to UCLA. So it appears you've predicted it both ways.
Seems we are trending to the right side of the bubble. I looked back and we haven’t been to 3/4 NCAA tournaments since the Cody team.
I thought he was fired over choking Reed and/or grabbing a student, and insubordination/disrespecting his boss?
What ultimately led to Knight’s firing, backing him into a corner through Brand’s mandated Zero Tolerance Policy, was initiated five years earlier with the growing disillusionment of Bob Knight’s coaching ability after a series of upset defeats early in the NCAA tourneys. Some player defections and recruits not playing to their potential added to fan frustration. The media, who always despised him, detected a weakness and jumped all over him for it, adding to the perception, real or imagined, that Knight had lost his ability to relate to the youth of the day, thus sealing his fate as pressure grew from increasing doubts.
But he "resigned" ... and had been thinking about doing so for a while. You can't un-light a cigar.
Felling leaking the tape to ESPN. Go no further than that. If he had 3 straight sweet 16s in the late 90s it would have been the same outcome with Brand and the media.
