How can you possibly believe this? If that were the case he wouldn't have waited till the game was over. No, his beef in that moment was the awful foul call, because at that point in time it was still a game. Purdue was only up 3.
My guess would be that they're higher in non B10 games.
Solid logic there.
I know it's hard for you to think beyond the last two years, but Purdue under Painter until these last two years have had a pretty good NCAA record. And no, it's not because of homer refs. Purdue literally lost last years game because FD was giving them wide open looks from 3. I counted 15 shots that they didn't even contest on that we missed. Last years team had a 3 point shooting issue starting about mid season. This years team does not have that issue.
What hooks? Show me.
I agree with pretty much everything here. I don't doubt there are 3 second violations that aren't called, but I don't at all believe that it happens at nearly the rate that some here would like us all to believe.
If your game plan is to "hack a shaq" on Edey, expect a lot of fouls. That was NWs gameplan, it was obvious and yet Collins blows up about it. LOL
Ding, ding, ding! Exactly how I feel. Good kid, has worked hard, sucks to watch.
This isn't about 3 second violations. Watch the Mark Titus video linked. Someone who knows what he's talking about and isn't afraid to say it because he isn't later going to need to interview Matt Painter. Yes, Edey gets fouled a ton, but yes also, he fouls almost every possession. If I'm an opposing coach, it's a trade I'd gladly make: call a bunch of fouls on my guys, but also call them on Zach Edey. Would completely change the way he can play and what he gets away with, gets the fouls more equal, and makes it a better game.
Said it in some thread, maybe this one. The media chose their darling prior to the season, much like Duke and Michigan State in years before. NW beat them first time around, couldn’t allow that a second time. Just sayin’.
It was solid logic and if big ten games only put them in even higher amounts of fouls then that just proves my point.
The one that made its rounds on twitter only got to that point because the refs didn’t call a foul 3 different times on the northwestern player. Should never have gotten to that point.
I’m not sure of your point in the things you bolded. NU had 66 attempts at the rim versus PU with 57. Seems like you are arguing that the officiating was totally off. How does a team have 66 attempts at the rim w/out more fouls. it’s about the attempts, not the FG%.
I believe that is 18 of the 66 total shots were at the rim, not that they only made 18 of their 66 at-the-rim shots. Thus, only 27% of NW's shots were from driving to the basket / offensive rebounds in the paint creating points.
Ahh, makes sense, my brain needs more caffeine. I thought that seemed like a crazy number of at the rim attempts.
Edy has 2 “hook” moves that IMO, are intentional:
Umm, see the quote I cut and pasted from your post right above my comments? That's where.
Ohhhh I follow now. You take the words you want from the message as a whole in order to get the words you want me to say, as opposed to actually commenting on what I actually said. Maybe you should try to understand my entire quote vs push a false narrative.
I quoted the part that was germain. The other stuff was commenting about a twitter/X post and discussion. I didn't change the message, I used what was relevant. Were you not saying that they should have called 3 more fouls (or at least 1 more and missed it 3X)?
Coaches don't call fouls, refs do! It's real simple, Zach is 7'-4" 300+lb guy who at his size is a really good athlete. Plus he has been so well schooled (coached) on how to get position in so many different sets that most big men who are 6'-11" and 240 are at massive disadvantage and those many find themselves using forearm shivers or try underpinning with their legs and get called for a foul. It's not like we reinventing the wheel here! Zach is bigger, stronger better athlete than most that most cannot match!. Guess what! History says that almost every game that Zach has played in, he fouls out the other teams bigs! The problem with you is you need to go out and guard Zach, show everyone how it is done! Chances are you will need to change your diaper, because it will be filled with that cream and crimson stuff! Zach has been in foul trouble in a few games, but our undersized guards keep leading Purdue to Victory's! Winning makes enemies of the weak!
No. I was saying exactly what I said in reference to the post I quoted. The foul on northwestern that made rounds on twitter where it looked like Edey was hooking never should have gotten to that point because the northwestern player fouled Edey 3 different times prior to the hook that people wanted a foul on Edey for.
Too many exclamation points. Maybe all caps would be a better approach?
HAHAHAHAHAHA! That's a great story, but that's just what it is: a story. Bear in mind that CMW and IU swept PU and Zach, last year and split the year before. So CMW and IU are 3-2 vs PU during his tenure, so he has shown how to beat Zach and PU (And FDU and St Peter's took note!), and you need to win the remaining game this year just to get even. That cream and crimson stuff is dripping down your chin!
The whole game was a joke but the last straw was the last play of overtime. Purdue stepped out of bounds and hooked the NW defender. NW should have had free throws or the ball with a chance to tie.
How was it a joke? I’m sure you feel the same way about lances 5th foul in Evanston? That bad call potentially cost Purdue the game.
You don't shoot free throws on an offense foul. Perfect example of iu fans not knowing what they're talking about. Gezz, learn the rules before you speak on the rules!!!!!!
Gezz? How about learning a bit of English before coming here and stinking up our house.
My error, even better for NW to get the ball with chance to tie. If you watched the game, you know your guy hooked.
Purdue has beaten IU 14 out of the last 18, but you should be proud of that 3-2 mark! Didn't you give Woody Wood Pecker a million more $$ for that feat. If Purdue pounds IU on the 10th, does he have to give it back?
Came for injury news for iu actually. Saw a thread about Purdue.
He's an IU guy, just not sure if he left with a degree or not.
Does it matter? He’s certainly bright enough to know Purdue Sucks!
Just saying he was at IU and understands it.
NW shot 3's. Purdue played a lot in the paint.
Ok, so a guy, that has openly said he hates Purdue and Edey, is objective about Purdue and Edey in your opinion. Right...
I watch every Purdue game. Sounds like you only watch chopped up clips if you think Edey is the one always causing the tangled arms.
