With Mike Woodson officially set to retire, now comes the question of his legacy in Bloomington.
Indiana has, to some degree, found itself having to contend with two different versions of Mike Woodson.
One is the kid from Indianapolis who suited up for Bob Knight and gave it all every time he set foot on the court. That Woodson came back from injury as a senior and led the Hoosiers all the way to a Big Ten title while earning the conference’s player of the year award despite missing time.
The other is the head coach who took over upon a monumental shift in the college basketball world with NIL and the transfer portal and coached another of the greatest players in program history along the way in Trayce Jackson-Davis.
