This is a very interesting hire for the Hoosiers. Woodson played for Indiana back in the day, but he has zero college coaching experience.
This is the definition of a bold move for everyone involved. If this goes south, people will lose their jobs. That’s just a fact.

He has plenty of coaching experience in the NBA, but college is a very different game. In the pros, you just coach.
In college, you have to recruit and stay on top of young men around the clock when it comes to their lives. Remember, they’re also students. It adds a totally different dimension you never see in the NBA.

We’ll see how he does, but he certainly has his work cut out for him.
