00:00Uh, here is Woodson, uh, at the podium after, of course, he was asked about saying, uh,
00:06maybe I'm leaving too soon.
00:07On the CBS broadcast, you said your first thoughts were, maybe I'm leaving too soon.
00:12Well, you, you know, I mean, those are, there's always going to be that thought.
00:16Um, but you know, at the end of the day, you know, it's not, it's not about me right now.
00:23Still about this team and, and he's lying us going up to Indianapolis and trying to
00:29win the big 10 tournament tournament either.
00:33But let me tell you something.
00:34He is lying through his teeth because they told him to leave or we're going to fire you.
00:40So you got two choices right here.
00:43And then that's what he had to do.
00:44And you can see it's written all over his face.
00:47He doesn't want to leave Indiana.
00:48He loves it there.
00:49His entire life was predicated on playing there his last game in 1980.
00:56And believe me, you, uh, he was part of the great teams in Indiana history.
01:02And he was one of Bob Knight's favorites.
01:04And if Bob Knight were alive today, this wouldn't be happening.
01:08Bob Knight died.
01:09So these people all of a sudden start making decisions in Bloomington.
01:13They never made decisions before when Bob Knight was around, they were too scared of
01:17him.
01:18These people are the same people that have never made decisions.
01:21Now all of a sudden they're making decisions and throwing money around.
01:25They gave that Cignetti all kind of, he's making 8 million a year to football coach.
01:30They've never won a football game in their life ever.
01:34I was there for five years and never went to one game.
01:37No one cares about football in Indiana.
01:40They still don't.
01:41They won 11 games and they still don't matter.
01:43All that matters in Indiana is basketball.
01:46When children are born, they don't even name them.
01:48They just give them a basketball.
01:49They don't even give them a name until they shot a few free throws.
01:52You don't earn that name until you've made 15 in a row on the side of the barn in Indiana.
01:57Believe me, you, if you're from Indiana, you're a basketball player or you're nothing.
02:01Might as well ship you off to a foster care system.
02:04If you don't play basketball, you're worthless.
02:07Football means nothing in Indiana.
02:08Corn and basketball are all that matter.
