Painter making 3 stars look like 5 stars Lil Arch making 5 stars look like 3 stars

Why are we so patient with mediocrity?

Yeah! Painter has only had 15 seasons! Stupid Archie has already had 2 seasons!!! I mean, never mind Purdue went 7-21 and 9-19 (3 conference wins in each of those). Why should we put up with such mediocrity when top programs like Purdue would never....ummm never....errr.....never mind.

Using Purdue as an example of how we should deal with our coaching situation is rather, well, stupid considering their patience with Matt Painter after a shitty start to both his career @ Purdue and this season (7-5).

And by the way, Purdue has no 3 star playing like a 5 and IU has no 5 star playing like a 3.

One nit. Painter was 22-12 his 2nd year.
 
Painter was associate HC for Keady in 04/05. He was defacto coach It counts in my book.

No. Keady was the head coach. You really think Keady let Matt Painter run the team? Not a chance in hell. Either way who cares. Rocky top is coming back!!

Was it mediocre when Purdue finished dead last in the conf in Painters 9th year? Or is that less than?

And they may blow an 18 PT lead here
Blown!

The great Carsen Edwards could have won the game at the FT line, but the best they can hope for is over time.
 
They weren’t outnumbered 5 to 1. Not even close. It wasn’t even 2 to 1. Your Purdue obsession looks even worse when you tell outright lies like this.

Cline just said it was a Tenn. dominant crowd... ah, whats he know, he's just there.

No, it was more like 5:1 in favor of Tennessee fans. That was a pathetic showing by PU fans. The game was basically in Indiana.
 
Purdue looked good as have the other teams tonight. Much better than our hand off dribble weave BS.
 
You write fiction

Wrong. Painter was associate head coach in 04/05 and was hired with the guarantee he would be head coach in 05/06. He was the heir apparent, and as such the program was his regardless @ that point.

How long have we been waiting?

2 years now with Archie Miller as head coach. How long we have been waiting prior to his arrival has no bearing on giving that coach the time to build his program, nor should it.

Purdue is nothing but three stars. Im not patient but apathy has set in with so many they are fine giving three and four year passes to a coach before judging him. We miss the tourney next year and they will still preach patience. Bank it.
 
Painter > Miller...

One would hope so considering he has had nearly a decade head start on his coaching career in general, and a 13 year head start coaching in a power 5 conference. A coach tends to figure things out having so much extra time to do so. :rolleyes:

Yup, and they were ready to run him out of town after 12/13 and 13/14 season missing the NCAA and NIT. I remember distinctly the fire Painter contingent on G&B being as ridiculous as this board is now. Hell they even continued into 2015 through 2017.

Good thing these idiots didn't get their wish.

Well they have a post game, a weird point game and then a bunch of shooters. All three compliment each other.

Doesn't matter what the rankings are...if your wings can't hit the three you're already dead.

Purdue is weird because Eastern (who is the size of a wing) can't shoot for shit but can distribute while Edwards (who is the size of a point) is a hella scoring guard/shooting guard.

We have four of our main guys (of all rankings) that can't shoot for shit and can only score in the lane.

That means we're already dead. Just pack the paint because other than Green no one can shoot.

Did you see the amount of bombs Purdue hit? From Cline to Edwards to Wheeler to Eifert.

That opens the lane for Harmns and Williams.

It's pretty simple, it's all about lineup construction.

Roster construction can make a five star a three.
