BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - As it is with all Indiana men's basketball coaches, Mike Woodson is a frequent topic of discussion for Hoosiers fans. He is a polarizing figure, and like most polarizing figures, he is subject to scrutiny that is both factual and rooted in perception that may or may not be true.
