There is no way to sugar coat the worst record in franchise history. Whatever the beef with any particular player, Woodson got more from the squad collectively, with less talent. To be certain, hindsight is more easy than foresight.

I miss Jeremy Lin.

On a more serious note, any coach can make adjustments to have a short term spurt of wins. Fisher could drop the triangle and just run pick and rolls, 3pters and fast breaks- but what's the point, we'd just end up with a crap first round pick, and no foundations of a system. For the greater good, he needs to stick to his guns.

Pitino's team was fun to watch. He's a coach who squeezed the juice out of limited talent. But he produced excitement with the full court press and the mayhem it created and the fast breaks it generated. These days you have to build around players with real character to get that kind of effort, something that appears harder and harder to do. Too many overpaid buttheads.

Even if Indy was better, that was still one of the worst playoff coaching performances of all time. Rewriting history now and trying to make out Mike Woodson to be a decent coach in the context of the team's current woes is completely invalid. Mike Woodson was a trash coach. The only point being made here today that holds any weight is we had a trash team then, just as we do know and Woodson at least green lighted our chuckers and let them run the asylum. That helped get us halfway up the mountain, but it was never going any higher than that. Woodson was a terrible coach.

I don't have to rewrite history, it's already written..18-6 then 54 wins followed by a 37 win team...It's written..2 playoff appearance in 2 and 1/4 years..When was the last time that happened here..When will be the next time??
