The story of Mike Woodson’s unlikely season and what it says about the man leading Indiana basketball

A few days after he was hired, Mike Woodson talked to an old friend. On the other end of the phone was a familiar voice, Dr. Henry Feuer. They talked about their families and Feuer congratulated Woodson on his new job as the head coach at Indiana.

This is how it’s been for decades. Conversations here and there. Woodson was busy in the NBA and Feuer, a neurosurgeon based in Indianapolis, was busy with his own career. But they’d find time, Woodson telling Feuer about his son moving to Los Angeles or one of his daughters getting married and Feuer sharing updates from his own life.
