It was mentioned our recruiting would suffer as a result of losing DANE FIFE!?! lololol The one thing I have never understood in this whole discussion/argument/whatever. Why isn't Woodson considered the Knight guy? because you know, he actually is a Knight disciple and Dane Fife isn't? I thought that is one of the things we wanted in a coach? A Knight guy. So knowing that Woodson is the ACTUAL Knight guy and not Dane Fife, why aren't more on his side? Just makes no sense. Whatever. That board was weird man. Weird people. Just overly mad, inferiority complex bothered people posting on that board. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see his smug condescension fade a bit in recent days. Perhaps my favorite (sorry, not sorry) post from that board came from abugabby the morning after they lost to Virginia. He said after Cline made the first free throw to put Purdue up by 3, he got down on his knees and started to weep. His daughter asked him why he was crying, and he said he was finally about to see them make the Final Four. It's a rather extreme case of schadenfreude, not afraid to admit it, but I'll always appreciate Virginia for delivering that improbable, soul-crushing defeat that will no doubt continue to fuel the cynicism and paranoia of Purdue fans for years to come. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just overly mad, inferiority complex bothered people posting on that board. I think its hard for many to take that Dane, whom many wanted instead of CAM, wasn't what they expected. I personally never understood the Dane Fife love as a coach or even as a player. He wasn't a favorite of mine. I also never understood the we need an Indiana/Knight guy at the helm and I am/was a coach Knight fan when he was actually coaching. I have always wanted IU to open the pocketbook to unfathomable amounts of money and get the best possible coach available or purchasable. I am still not sold on Coach Woodson's ability to coach us to a National title. But i have been very impressed with his ability to recruit at such a high level and having high level talent does make coaching easier in the end . Can't wait to see how the next few years turn out.

Dane came to IU to play for coach Knight and nearly transferred to Michigan State after his firing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there’s room for both to be considered Knight disciples, but if there’s only one it’s pretty clearly Woodson isn’t it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodson should be considered the ultimate Knight disciple in my eyes. How many times have we heard how much Knight loved Woodson? All of that is word of mouth for me, I wasn't around then. But, I have heard story after story of Knights almost admiration for Woodson, and I am sure a heck of lot of mentorship, as well. Now, can't fault Dane for not being able to experience Knight more.... But yeah, never a bad word about Mike Woodson on a single IU website, ever, until last March when he was hired as our coach. That doesn't have anything to do with Dane, for sure. It's just something that irks me. Comes with the territory, I reckon. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't have anything to do with Dane, for sure. It's just something that irks me. Comes with the territory, I reckon. I agree with this and on top of it, let's compare Woody's coaching background to Dane's: As coach: 1996–1999 Milwaukee Bucks (assistant) 1999–2001 Cleveland Cavaliers (assistant) 2001–2003 Philadelphia 76ers (assistant) 2003–2004 Detroit Pistons (assistant) 2004–2010 Atlanta Hawks (HC) 2011–2012 New York Knicks (assistant) 2012–2014 New York Knicks (HC) 2014–2018 Los Angeles Clippers (assistant) 2020–2021 New York Knicks (assistant) 2021–present Indiana (HC) 2003–2005 Indiana (grad assistant) 2005–2011 IPFW (HC) 2011–2021 Michigan State (associate) 2021–2022 Indiana University (assistant) Once again, nothing personal against Dane, but it's not even close. Woody may or may not get us to the promised land, but his coaching experience is undeniable. Not even speaking of his head coaching experience in the NBA, he wasn't exactly working under dummies as an assistant: Chris Ford (meh), George Karl (HOF), Randy Whitman (meh), Larry Brown (HOF), Mike D'Antonio (2xNBA COY, potential HOF), Doc Rivers (Future HOF), Tom Thibodeau (2xNBA COY). Four of the winningest NBA coaches of all time. I pray to baby Jesus that he gets these guys on campus along with any and all players he coached during his NBA days.
