Mike Woodson? a 63 year old with a "meh" pro resume going to college for the first time. That's what you call a popcorn fart hire.

Maybe you set up a program's infrastructure a la the machines we've seen built in CFB? Differentiate between the on field manager and GM.
No inside knowledge but that's how I read it. If that's correct it's pretty damn smart imo.
I think Thad could excel in a role like that and keep you out of violations hell.

At Woodson's age (63), I think he is nothing more than a placeholder. I seriously doubt he stays for 6 years.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Here are five takeaways from Monday’s introductory press conference:
• The Indiana coaching job has been a goal for Woodson: Woodson has spent the duration of his lengthy coaching career in the NBA, but says he never lost his passion for the IU basketball program.
• Woodson already has a staff in mind: One of the biggest and most important tasks at hand for Woodson, as he begins his tenure in Bloomington, will be assembling a coaching staff.
• Woodson has already started the process of re-recruiting Indiana’s players in the transfer portal: Indiana currently has six players in the NCAA transfer portal – Khristian Lander, Armaan Franklin, Jordan Geromino, Race Thompson, Al Durham Jr. and Parker Stewart.
• Woodson provides clues on Indiana’s style of play: Many of the concepts being run in college basketball today have roots in the NBA.
• Woodson excited about the opportunity to work with Matta: Thad Matta’s hiring as Indiana’s associate athletic director of basketball administration came as a surprise, but it also showed Woodson’s willingness to surround himself with someone who has been successful as a head coach in the Big Ten.

The only way Geno leaves UConn, is when he chooses to retire IMO. As dominant as that program is, why would he want to leave?
UConn will outpay any school that tries to get him to leave.
