I feel at peace. I just hope Hoosier Nation accepts this and moves on, too—it's time to put away the boos and chants and focus on supporting the team. It's not like Woody can say he's changed his mind and reverse this announcement now. Dolson is likely to have the next coach wrapped up here before Purdue comes to Bloomington (you can't convince me he hasn't been doing his homework since BFA) and will simply wait until both teams have finished post season play to make the announcement.
Woody is really gracious to let Dolson know he is retiring in early February, giving Dolson time to find his replacement at his own pace. He might not have been the best coach record wise, but he is a true Hoosier. He did get us through a difficult time and used the portal effectively. I wish him well in his retirement and I also hope Hoosier Nation will allow him to go into his retirement with their support. Give him a warm welcome at the next home game tomorrow.
I truly admire and respect Mike Woodson. I believe he always had IU’s best interests at heart, but he just couldn’t pull it together. I’m sad Woody has to go out this way and that we have to start over.

I agree. And I hope it’s a long wait for the new coach announcement as the coach takes his team deep into the NCAA Tournament.

God, I hope we do. No reason to be anything but supportive.
