1. Archie was horrible all around. There is no doubting that Tom Crean was a good recruiter and good developer of talent. He just simply couldn't coach.
2. Not moving the goalposts at all. My statement to our discussion was in the paragraph before the number of games played comment. That comment was just a shot at how poorly Purdue players perform in the NBA.
3. I never said other coaches don't think highly of him. He's done a great job with what he has to work with at Purdue. That doesn't mean his results at the end of the day are that great. Wow, IU must be a "coaching destination" then since we have had coaches from the Knicks/Hawks, MSU, UCLA, and another coach that UK thought was good enough to take. Some coaches just want to be assistants rather than go to a tiny school. You think Miami of Ohio, Tulane, or whatever tiny school Lutz went to wouldn't have rather had a guy like Dane Fife? Shrewsberry and Cuanzo Martin are the only really good assistant coaches Painter has had.
1 - sure
2 - you asked how many draft picks painter had then realized it was only a couple less than the IU recruiting machine you keep bragging about and changed it to only 2 played 100 nba games.
3 - what are you trying to talk about? Are you saying assistants that want to stay assistants? I’m saying Purdue is landing quality assistants and turning them into head coaches making it an attractive landing spot for future assistants. When you move up the ladder though it’s pretty easy to see you go from high major assistant to low major coach to high major coach the majority of the time.
