What happened at the end of the pUKE game? I had gamecast and it said wake with an offensive rebound with 6 secs left then went to final score.

Took a 3 with about 3.2 seconds left, got the offensive rebound in traffic and got it up on the rim but it rolled off.... his own teammate was in his way of making an easy layup.

Carsen Edwards is now 39% FG, 34% 3pt for the season.

That is NOT good.

 

If Purdue was the Edwards show as just about everybody thought they would be they would be a lot worse off

I don't know why Painter gets the respect on here that he does.  He's Purdoo's Tom Crean.

He gets respect from me because I like the way he runs his program. He knows his strengths and he gets his teams to play hard. Guy lost 4 1000 point scorers last year and has put his team in position to share the B1G regular season. Sure they might get bounced in the first weekend but he seems to get the most out of the players he coaches. Really nice guy and approachable. Ran into him at a center grove game and talked some ball with him

He’s probably about to share the Big Ten title starting more guys sub 350 than top 100. 

The guy is a great coach if he would play the game of recruiting they would be incredibly scary. 

They have won 2/3s of their conference games 5 straight years. That is the opposite of Crean.

Crean and Painter both have 2 Big Ten titles and similar postseason failures.  I just don't get it, but I hope they keep him forever.

That’s because your over simplifying it. Just like the people who said Jay Wright was a bad coach. 

Painter has 2 big ten titles. But he’s been over .500 in the big ten 10 out of the last 12 years. Crean only pulled the feat off 3 out of 9.

Am I?  Those stats you provided show mediocrity to me.  His post season stats show less than mediocrity.  He may be a nice approachable guy, but I don't get his coaching results.

A .666+ winning percentage over the last 5 years is mediocre? mmkay whatever you say. Guess water isn’t wet also

Painter is a dang fine coach.  Nuff said.

Why did you just cherry pick the last 6 years?  If you're looking to limit a set of years to fit your agenda, why include the year he finished dead last in the league?  Why not use a whole body of mediocre work?

Yes, water is wet.  Not sure what that has to do with anything.

I used his last 12 years and that wasn’t up to your moving goal posts er I mean standards. 

Yes he had 2 bad years. Out of the last 12. Three total seasons below .500 his entire time at Purdue. Clearly similar to a guy who only had 3 winning big ten records. If by similar you mean complete opposites.

One has a .631 winning percentage the other around .434 with much more talent. Clearly the same guy basically.

Another quality post that bashes somebody with a different opinion than the groupthink.  Par for the course.

How does Eastern stuck his arm out to feel the screener and then completely shove him to create space to get around the screen without a foul? He also had a handful of bumps that stopped or changed the direction of the driver without a foul. Maybe if Al was known as a defender he’d get the same treatment. I love the Big Ten

I really don’t get your schtick.

I also think that Painter is a very good coach, but like Crean, would not last as long as he has at Indiana. I’m also not sure if that’s an indictment of Painter or Indiana.

I'm not sure I have a schtick.  I just get frustrated by people who belittle posters with different opinions.  It seems to happen a lot on here.

This is coming from the dude who calls people who disagree with him about Luck to be fan boys or blind.
