I'll be honest. I don't think the "style" issues are Painter issues. It's a problem the B1G needs to address, and address asap.
The way that B1G games are officiated totally play into the style that Painter, and Wisconsin, has adopted. You have to succeed in your conference first, right? When Illannoy and Iowa have done the same, Garza/Cockburn, they have also had B1G success. However, none of this has played well in March Madness. The conference, which thinks of itself as the premiere conference, has not produced a champion in 23 years. And, just two in the last 34. Further, they have only been in the Championship game 9 times since 1989. That's 9 out of a possible 68 opportunities or 13%. That's poor.
The ACC reported that they are looking at change due to not being as successful with landing teams in the tourney the last few years. Is the B1G brass savvy enough to do the same? Or will they continue with their arrogance.
