Woodson was annoyed that Fife wouldn’t stop begging them to let Kithier transfer in

Really surprised that Lander didn’t transfer last year. He has been really bad

Woodson doesn’t come off as being a fan of Fife.

yeah that’s pretty harsh. usually there’s some soft peddling about other opportunities. this is just “I am firing Dane Fife.”

The Bird app hinting that they had some conflicts regarding rotations and other things that the head coach gets the final say on.

I figured after being beat down by Izzo for years Dane would know when to question the head coach vs. when to eat your opinions.

DOT followed up on this post on 247. He’s being his typical unnecessarily cryptic and standoffish self, so I’m not 100% sure about this. But based on what his post/some other comments in the thread, people still think Brown is gone but also think that Christie and his family are actually unhappy with Izzo/how Christie was used, and that hey may be leaning towards the draft.

How do you grind for years and then just burn bridges that bad at the two institutions most likely to give you a very high level HC job? Bizarre

Inject Christie leaving into my veins

But I’m skeptical cause Izzo and the mortgage bros will do everything to prevent that

I said it before and I will say it again: no way Christie is leaving.

But that was to enter the draft. Maybe the portal but I am very skeptical of that even.

I don’t know about y’all but I’m not passing up the opportunity to sit with Adrien and make Tik Toks

So how was Christie misused? Beyond playing a lot of minutes?

I’ve been told that “He doesn’t know how to keep his mouth shut.”

The thoughts of players/family members regarding this stuff often don’t align with reality. For all of Izzo’s rotational weirdness, I don’t particularly see Christie as a victim of that. He played ~30mpg and couldn’t crack 100 ORtg on relatively low usage mostly coming on spot ups. Any more usage and I’d wonder what in the world they were doing.
