BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Scott Dolson got it right.

In Mike Woodson, Indiana has the perfect coach to restore men's basketball program glory now and for the future.

Woodson is a 63-year-old blend of something old (a former Hoosier All-America and Big Ten MVP) and something new, an old-school coach with a new-school approach whose Monday press conference started by thanking Hall of Famer Bob Knight for bringing him to Bloomington and showing him how to be a man.

"Coach Knight took a chance on me coming out of Indianapolis," Woodson said.
