You laugh, but what else can we do but wait and hope?

Have to cut the coach some slack, we had early ugly losses to Minnesota and Kentucky. But the team was all-new! It takes awhile to really learn and buy in to what the coach is teaching and demanding. Once we had better health, and all cylinders firing for the final NCAA stretch run, we... Uh, nevermind.

Not to be argumentative but I truly don't understand the idea of anyone needing to cut the coach slack.  He wasn't the only coach turning over rosters. 

Iowa turned over a roster, at a lesser-known program and is in the tourney.  St. Johns turned over all of their contributors and they are a 5 seed. NC State did and they are in the tourney. Cincy took on 7 guys and they too are likely in the tourney.  Texas A&M took 10 players and they are squarely in the tourney. Virginia 7 players, likely a 4 seed. Even UCF, they took on TWELVE players and look to be in the tourney.  The list genuinely continues but you get the point.   In the past, I agree, we needed to wait it out and see.  In the modern era, with the money we have, there is absolutely positively no reason we should not be in the tournament every year, at a minimum.  Be it year 1 or year 20. 

 

 

a fucking men 

 

2nd in the conference in NIL should not equate to 10th place. Just sayin'.

 

where did you see that we're second in NIL?

How did we end up paying such a big buyout to Woodson? Don't the buyouts usually require the coach to seek comparable employment, and get reduced by whatever salary he earns? Woodson got a job with the Kings almost immediately.

These are almost always negotiated down to a lump sum to cut ties fully which is what happened with Woodson.

IU has become a shinier version of Minnesota. Sad.

We kissed his rear because he is an Indiana legend.
