Yeah, but those 13 victories were magical.No wonder Quinn went 13-69 as an NBA coach.
Fun fact: Sacramento is 8-24. Where Bigfoot roams, losing follows. How the Humpmeister keeps getting basketball gigs is beyond me.
The one thing Bigfoot is good at is networking and partying with his cronies. He'll always have retirement gigs handed to him that he's not qualified for.
It's already evident to some DD is not the answer, so any drama queening is understandable. Sure, he might win some games, but he won't significantly alter the trajectory of the program. I, for one, am not jazzed about IU simply being a skosh above mediocre.His first season isn't over, premature ejaculators, it's just starting.
Right now I would say he is not the answer unless something changes drastically by next season. I was just down in arizona and go to watch U of A play. They would beat us by 20 plus and the depressing thing is they are young the starting lineup has three freshman. The difference between the two teams is night and day.
very easy to see we are nowhere near the good teams. Hate the narrative well he didnt have time this year, wait till next. IU has been saying this shit for 20 years. He should have had a good team this year, if he doesn’t make the tourney, fire him.

Exactly . Same excuses and same acceptance of mediocrity. I agree he misses tourney launch him

We would end up with someone like Schertz. If he misses it next season fire him too?
Stop with the insanity. He isn't being fired after this season. Now if we miss the dance next season too...

The excuses just get old he was hired early on last spring so he had plenty of time to get players. With the portal there should be no excuses but IU has become nothing but excuses the last twenty years. Heck the guys of facebook were sill apologizing for Woodson in year four.

All of these former greats are god awful coaches.

Yet they walk on water to the cooks and simons and that is all that really mattered was making them happy. They get to sit around with wine and cigars and talk about 1976. Until these guys actually die they will stick their noses in IU bbal and they are why IU bbal is almost dead forever.

Who's even saying he didn't have time this Spring? I'm not seeing it and if its happening its maybe a single random poster or 2, hardly some big narrative.
The lack of cash is a valid 'reason' for the circumstances, but at the end of the day you still have to deliver. The money won't increase without wins.

I am not saying on this site but other sites like twitter and facebook they are running with he simply did not have enough time. I can barely look at facebook its nothing but apologists just like with woodson.
And if there is a lack of cash I believe that also disproves the narrative that no big name wanted this job or would come here. To get a big name you are going to need to pay double what we are paying DD. So if IU is not willing to pay that price sure the big names will say no. But my guess is there refuse to pay the money it takes to get a big name.
@jackskip23 he may have known that Buckner and the cronies would put their unqualified hands all over everything, but he still would have never hired Bigfoot nor retained him if he was allowed to do his job instead of lining the pockets of alumni grifters. Not even sure what point you think you're making but its landing flat.
At the end of the day, Buckner stuck his ignorant nose into things to get a gig for his buddy that his buddy was not qualified for and then made sure he was retained well past the point he should have been let go. He also thought Dusty wasn't "good enough" for IU, so here we are.
Buckner is “unqualified” and “ignorant”? LOL. You may disagree with his views on the program (none of which you would know) or his level of influence, but suggesting he’s either of those things only shows how little you know about him or IU.

How well do you know any of them?

The only thing we do know is he gave a job to his buddy who was not qualified for that job. Whatever you want to call that is up to you but that is a fact. Nobody thought he was qualified and the hire was mostly laughed at by the pundits.

Yes, Buckner is unqualified to be a coach and unqualified to pick a coach based on the facts that he forced his unqualified buddy to get the gig and did not allow the AD to fire the unqualifed buddy to hire Dusty May. Buckner's brilliance also told him that May was not 'good enough' for IU, so his buddy needs to get another year and a war chest of top 5 NIL money that he squandered for another missed tourney. Dusty has a FF team at one of our conference rivals in the mean-time. Amazing perception by Mr. Buckner.
Yes, Woodson is also unqualified to be the head coach of IU. Period. He was 65 and in semi-retirement as a journeyman NBA assistant. Zero collegiate experience (nor any ambition to learn) and had not been a head coach at any level in nearly a decade. He had a losing NBA record as a coach as does Buckner. Woodson would not have been interviewed, let alone hired, by any other D1 program in the country. After he was sent packing, he ran back to be a journeyman NBA assistant again which is his ceiling.
Not only was Woodson himself terrible, he then surrounded himself with Yes men who were also unqualified. He put Armond "Mummy" Hill's corpse next to him on the bench as is right hand man. Hill's claim to fame is being the worst collegiate coach in Columbia history with a terrible, losing record. He's contributed basically nothing at the coaching level since and I'm not sure he physically moved a single time in 4 years here.
Woodson then hired Randy Wittman and Jim Todd as "paid consultants". 2 more guys with no collegiate experience who were both failed NBA coaches with losing records. What exactly were they 'consulting' on outside of lining their pockets?
What exactly would "knowing" these ppl prove exactly? You're right, I wasn't one of the butt-kissing cronies at the wine parties while Woodson was dodging recruiting events (and often times actual recruits on campus).
Sounds like you're actually one of these cronies and you're upset that the grift is now over.

And a grift it sure was. Wittman being hired as a consultant that is just beyond laughable to say the least. It likely consisted of him showing up to two meetings a year and collecting a massive sum of money. But since Quinn went 13-69 as a head coach we certainly should not doubt his ability to pick a coach. LOL!
And you know darn well if bigfoot had even made the tourney as the last team in quinn would have demanded he get another year. The only good news is I hope we never ever ever have to hear again about how you have to hire an IU guy. Well they did finally hire an IU and he was lazy and the least hard working coach we have ever had. His so called deep love of IU was attending happy hours and smoking cigars with boosters.
They just like to moan & groan, makes them think they know everything.There are some people spending a lot of time on here posting about how much they don't care about this team or IU Basketball anymore.
